This is a backup of Project N95 which is shutting down after December 17, 2023.
My recommended ranking order for selecting as mask is N95 > KN95 > KF94
Select based off of how big your head/face is, general rule of thumb use your hat sizing.
In General:
Boat/Duckbill masks = easier to breathe in.
Half Mask (Respirator) = reusable, lower long-term costs.
Cup mask = less eyeglass fogging.
Strapless mask = procedural benefits because no metal, and less obstruction.
Optrel Tec AG (N95 with Transparent Window) = Good for Reading Lips/Translators.

Cakelin’s Resource for Reading Mask Reviews;
This is not an all-inclusive list. I am not endorsing any singular brand or purchasing website. This is a resource that can be utilized to help select the right mask for you. Not all information may be 100% correct, not everything may be in stock, and linked websites may not be the cheapest selection. I attempted to link the widest array of resources for any given mask.
A special thank you to Cakelin on Tiktok, for technical support and data scraping assistance!
