Nick's moustache

odd thought of the day....
Seeing Nick's picture today as I was on the Shopsmith website made me ponder an odd question. For those that have moustaches, or beards, how does one deal with sawdust, particularly when dealing with dusty MDF.
Even though I don't have one, I for one almost always have to shower to get any dust out of my hair, even when I were a hat. I can't after imagine sanding, routing, cutting, etc. even with good dust collection, how much dust can get in a beard or moustache after hours in the shop. Plus I would gather if stuff gathers in the moustache breathing it in (since it's right next to your nose) can't be all that healthy. Especially if you're creating a lot of cedar dust. I sometimes wear an AO Safety® Professional Multi-Purpose Respirator which is great, but I need to use it more regularly.
