Scubapro D-Mask vs Atomic Frameless for mustache?

[DagrScuba]

Hi all... Looking for some recommendations for a good mask for someone with a mustache. I recently tried the apex vx1, but had a lot of nose leak.

Considering the d-mask since I've heard good things regarding facial hair. The atomic venom frameless also seems to be up there for a good seal.

Thoughts?

if you keep the moustache, water will come. it is inevitable.

Yes.. in the past I have had good luck with trimming the top and just clearing when needed. The vx1 seemed a bit more than that. Just looking to minimize as much as I can.

I shave The top just under my nose, I use the D mask and have had good luck with the Tusa Paragon too.

I tried that but didn't like the Hedley Lamar look. Or John Waters if that's an easier reference. I even tried shaving the whole thing one time but couldn't pull off the Amish "beard and no moustache".

I’m sure my being as pale as a ghost with a gray beard helps and being 6’5” helps the perspective of the “little” people.

Which do you like better between those two?

Hard to say, I like the easy change lens that I can actually buy right from SP, the TUSA also has easy change lens’ but never found anyplace that sold them.
I also like the comfort strap on the D so it gets the edge, I have two of each type.

Curious, how did you prep your d-mask? I see a lot of different opinions when it comes to new coated lenses
