So, I recently got an airbrush which I'm going to be practicing with and to go along with it, I got myself a respirator to protect my lungs. I also intend to use it while fur shaving, because there's been plenty of times that after a big shave I've felt like my throat hurt. Although admittingly I'm something of a hypochondriac but better safe than sorry right? Anyway, the one I bought is the big, bulky mask type which my husband seems to think is overkill for my needs. It's not exactly comfortable and somewhat claustrophobic feeling, but I'll use it if it's best to protect myself. I was wondering what others used as protection? Do others use the big mask, or just the small white cup ones?
The one I have is this:

With the replies so far, I think I will keep it. :) I may one day decide to give resin casting or other use of chemical stuff so in the very least, I'll be prepared. Thanks for making me not feel ridiculous.
