Better in Burbank,

I did have a beard but not after I was diagnosed with apnea. I do have a mustache and have no problem with leaks. I have an UltraMirage mask. I do keep my mustache trimmed fairly short but even when it was much longer, I didn't have a problem.

The BeardedMan handle comes from my last name, which is Beard, and like I said, I did have a beard and that handle was easier than the nickname I had as a teen, Mr. Mustache (when I had neither a beard or mustache).

Good luck with things. Keep trying and hopefully you will find the best way to minimize or eliminate the leaks.

Best regards,
Mike
