An extra thing you can do is sing slightly past the mic instead of directly at it, as if you wanted to sing to someone standing behind the mic by singing around it.
I would use something more than a £5 pop shield myself with most ribbon mics.
I have a couple of Shure pop shields that I use with my AEA ribbons.
It is less of an issue with condensers, but I would err on the side of caution with a ribbon.

Ribbon mics are fragile things and an hour of a tech's time is well beyond what you would spend on a decent pop shield/
Same goes with mic stands fwiw.
It always astounds me when I see a good quality microphone on a £20 mic stand.
It is a disaster waiting to happen.
