Scubapro D-Mask vs Atomic Frameless for mustache?

[lexvil]

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

I actually just soaked with dish soap on the lenses and used my finger to scrub, perfect, I assume it’s because the lens are not cast into the mask molding all that’s needed is a good cleaning.

I tried that but didn't like the Hedley Lamar look. Or John Waters if that's an easier reference.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Swashbuckling.

You know, when you say that enough times, it kind of sounds like dirty gargling.

I'll have to try that, just picked up a d-mask to try. . Initial fit seems good. The modular nature of it makes it creak a little here and there. Like the straps.

Btw, regarding the D-Mask... (and since I DO have a mustache)... how can I tell if the whole "face suction test without strap" works? I havn't found a mask yet that stays for more than a second or two. This one does seem to seal well initially... just slips off fairly quickly.

So hard to tell fit.. especially with a reg or snorkel in your mouth distorting your lip some anyway...

I have a marvelous mustache and dive an AA frameless. Highly recommend.

I have used the same Atomic Frameless for over 20 years. Still using it. I've had a thick moustache since I was 16 years old. Never once has it leaked and I don't do anything special. My 2 psi. P.S. For a good laugh here is my 1970's porn star look.
