Hot take: I stopped using a full face mask for clean outs and it's way better

I got a bad cold last winter and couldn't stand the full mask fogging up, so I switched to just goggles and a good N95. Did a whole clean out on a 1970s ranch in Springfield like that. I was sure I'd be coughing for days, but honestly, I could see way better and move faster. The dust was fine, but the soot stayed put. Now I only use the full mask for really bad creosote jobs. Anyone else find the big mask gets in the way more than it helps on standard jobs?

Honestly, have you considered the long term hearing damage from all that coughing later?
