    Worth mentioning, the "mind blown moment" on the other video and this one where you lean the head back to produce a straight line on the lower part...
    I still feel dumb for not knowing this earlier, and thankful for being taught on your videos!

    I love Kratos and God of War but the anatomy was my favorite part of the video.
    It helped tremendously in debating what I'd like to do with my yeard later, my original goal was the Kratos/Ducktail but I am starting to think round/The Boss style.
    This made me realize I need to research more on full beard styles and beard anatomy. Luckily, I'm only on my 3rd month of the yeard and have plenty of time.
    Thanks Matty! Incredible video, you slayed the Kratos again.

    So i stoped going to barbers for years.

But I've always gone to my hairdresser to let her trim it up. Mostly because I don't trust myself to do a good job. But with this instructional vid for one of my favorite types of style, methinks I'll try my hand at this and save me some cash! Thank you very much and I'll be sure to check out your other videos too.

    Late to the party my friend, I apologize for not somehow finding your channel sooner; I’ve been cutting my own hair since marrying my beautiful wife twelve years ago. However I haven’t quite had the patience to grow out my beard to the point where I could shape it and have fun with it. I love what you’ve done here, it kind of reinforces some ideals that I’ve come to know by clipping my head and made me confident that I can do my beard too after another month or two of growth. I use very similar products to fade and outline my own head and the use of the word “flyaway”, I knew immediately what you meant by that and I’d been hesitant to cut those until now. Thanks brother.

    Thank you so much for this video. I"ve been struggling a lot with my beard lately, and this is the exact style I've wanted to do. (not necessarily because of Kratos, just that pointed look to the beard) but I had no idea what it was even called. Definitely looking forward to giving this a try!

    Dude! You are an amazing barber. How could anyone justify leaving a negative comment on your channel. I use a lot of the techniques from your videos for my beard. Keep doing your thing.

    I couldn't decide between ducktail and lumberjack. Thx for the tutorial!!

      My pleasure! The lumberjack is usually more of a square bottom beard. They are both great for creating an elongated shape!
