Safety First! Here is a list of the best PPE
Best Safety Glasses! So many colors and works well for process shots.
Masks suck. But the RZ mask is easily the most comfortable and works best with pony tails/diverse hairstyles.
Best Gloves for small hands! Yes, I’ve cut off a finger. So now I carve with A9 gloves.
Best disposable gloves! These come in all the necessary sizes and are great for dry skin.
Best ear protection! Bluetooth/comfort/hearing protection all in one.
