    Face shield

    A face shield will really bring out the dumba$$ in a feller. Been trying to scratch my nose, push my glasses back up on my nose, blow dust of a piece, walk in the house forgetting it's on and startle dogmess out of my wife. Sheesh!

    Don't sneeze!
    My nose never itches until I put on a shield and can't reach it.

    Funniest one I saw with a face mask is a friend of mine chews smokeless tabacco. He forgot he had his mask on leaned over the trash can and well you can guess. I just rolled on the floor laughing.

    I'm just wondering how long it's going to take me to realize I can't blow the chips off the tool rest with the shield down! My learning curve seems to have gotten steeper and I'm not progressing as well as 30 years ago!

    Taking a drink of water is a bit difficult with the face shield on, too... Since buying the Trend, I often almost forget I have it on since it's so comfortable. Makes for "humorous" moments sometimes!

    Yep, we've all been there. But I've also been on the end where I've had a pair of safety glasses on and a 20# chunk of pecan did 7 stitches worth of damage right under my right eye. I'll stick with the stupid moments and aggravation.

    Yeah Ray, I'm going to keep wearing it. I'm ugly enough as it is. Ain't real interested in losing an eye either.

    Got a good giggle out of the chewin' tabakky story.

    Yeah, I'm in a bad habit of only wearing mine when I'm working with big stuff. Gotta break that habit.
    Mine also has a scratch along where my lips are from hitting it with a cup. It also has coffee stains from that point down
