It's not the worst, but certainly not a pleasant experience at least in summer or winter. In summer your face gets all sweaty and disgusting and in winter I get a runny nose and the mask gets disgusting. If it's not really necessary I'd rather don't wear it.
Ngl I kind of liked having a mask in the winter here in Canada. Never had to actually bring out a scarf
It's funny. I didn't understand these sorts of complaints until I remembered I have a beard. There is always something on my face and I'm just used to it.
But if you're bearded, N95's don't work
They may be slightly less effective, but they absolutely still work.
So it's an inconvenience you would rather not put up with and let some old coot die.
I hope you also don't drive a car since it's just for your convenience and kills people
