from 2018 says there’s problems with even really short lengths of beard…
You are making claims that weren’t in the article. That studies conclusiion were
“Conclusion: Beard length and areal density negatively influence FF. However, tight-fitting half-face negative-pressure respirator fit tests can achieve adequate fit factor scores even with substantial facial hair in the face seal area.”
Plus your original claim was that razor bumps would negatively impact the fit, not short length beards. You’re moving the goalposts.

No it wasn’t… but you go ahead and keep lying to yourself. You can scroll up and read it for yourself.
And to preempt an argument… “there’s no study that says beards/razor bumps interfere with gas masks”… There are. Most of them say minimal beards/hair is fine (less than 1/16th of an inch) to get a mask seal, where 1/8 can already lead to issues. But it’s understudied. The risk of getting it wrong is people’s lives.

But we’ve already discussed this ad nauseam, so you can stop following me around now.
