What Mask Should I Use - LittleLuLu - 09-02-2020

Hello, I have been having trouble getting a good mask seal.
For example, last night my leak rate was 88/Lmin.
I shave before bed, adjust the mask well; and keep the cushion clean.
The pressure is so high that I need to really crank down on the straps to get a good seal.
I am thinking: Perhaps a large mask is too big for me.
Or, maybe I should try a new brand.
I have been using a Res Med Mirage Quattro full face / large.
I tried a newer style of a Res Med mask as well, made for high pressure but it too is not working well for me.
Any suggestions?
