I also agree, the bottom is really hard to do by yourself and self tutorials on this specific style are scarce unfortunately. Also, that 45 degree angle thing would be nice in a DIY vid👍
You should definitely do a DIY short ducktail beard tutorial! Your videos are always a treat to watch and has helped my beard tremendously, I've spent 40 years not knowing how to trim my beard to look it's best (to my ability....) until I just happened to see your videos by the magic of the algorithm.
I would definitely love to see a shorter ducktail tutorial! I kinda learned to do it on my own based on all of your videos, but I wonder how you would approach it directly.
Man I’m at 1.5 months of beard growth, your beard care tips just worked on me like magic, thank you and the KRATOS beard is awesome, keep growing and take care.
Hell yes Matty! Not only have I been searching how to trim a ducktail beard, I also JUST bought the same exact set of clippers and trimmers from Wahl!! Thanks for this!
Thank you for this ! love Kratos , ur model is awesome for working on him - always the constant professional with just the right amount of humor - great video and awesome work as usual !
Please do a DIY short version of the Kratos. I love you videos and personally, your tips have made trimming my beard fun and easy. I love the content Mr. Conrad, keep up the great work!
I would very much love to see a DIY to do a long style of this beard. I have been growing my beard out and it has a rounded-square look using your previous tutorials. I’m proud of it but there is something about that longer, duck tail style that really looks sharp. I’m willing to try it and if it doesn’t look good, I’m proud to say it will grow back soon. 😂👍 Well done on this one Matty!
looks very good. the angles you showed really are a gamechanger for a "do it yourself" version. as for right now I am letting my beard grow a bit longer than usual so I have more room to work on it. I might try that one out.. and even if I mess it up, I can get it fixed by the barber. love your videos and everything. started off as a complete newbie.. and with your advices, I would say, I can do the "small maintenance" that is necessary after a few weeks thanks to you.
I came across your videos last year when i started growing out my beard for the first time. I kept thinking it would be great to find someone like Matty locally to go to for my very first beard trim when the time came. Imagine my surprise when I found out you're LOCAL!!!! lol I have my appointment booked with you for my very first beard trim on March 2nd. Looking forward to it :)
When I saw the preview and thumbnail for this video, I was like "hey, that's what @Matty Conrad calls a ducktail!" Lo and behold, you say that 3 minutes into the video. Great work and this just cements the fact that if and when I get up to Vancouver, Victory Barber & Brand is a must-visit.
I was rocking short to mid beard for last two years. Thanks to your videos I was able to maintain it in good shape and visit a barber only once in quarter. Now I've changed my look and shaved everything - so that my kids can see my face for some time ;) but I found out that you have your channel and I'm addicted to watching it. It is like ASMR, the way you operate your tools with such precision, like sculpting and your soothing voice describing each step of the process, I just can't stop. Thank you for your work and willingness to share it with us.
Very nice tutorial. When are you gonna bring out your own set of victory-tools? ;) That guy really has the aura of a legend. The colouring of his beard is magnificent.
Aight need you to move to new york and be my personal barber. Haven't been to one yet kinda been trimming and maintaining the lines myself. Its been alright but you craftsmanship of a beard is fantastic.... I don't hold a candle.
Main protip for me here was the straightening part. I always had completely straight hair (before I went full Kratos up top) but since growing my beard longer it's developed a lot of kinks in the cheek area. Need to give this brush turning technique a try! Thanks Matty, you're the man 🧔♂️
Ever since I started growing out my beard beyond a simple stubble, I've learned so much from your videos over at GQ. Thanks Matty. You've made it a pleasure to trim/shave myself.A happy coincidence that I find your channel the night before I planned to trim it again. And if we're doing "old style" beards like Kratos, could you do a video about trimming a Leonidas beard? I've been aiming at that style for a while now. Could be from the film, or history. Thank you, Matty!
You're a master barber. All your vids and products have helped me level up my beard and hairstyle game for almost 2 years now. Love the Kratos Ducktail, gonna try and do this ducktail style this year! Thank you so much!
I love your videos great ideas. Since I grown my beard my confidence has grown I have lost my uncle few years back I quit saving just let grow my life change
Loved your products since before I started barbering and I’m happy to see a UA-cam channel now! I may have to take a trip north for a service one of these days!
Ive been trimmin my own beard for a few yrs now but to this day, im always nervous af trimming the lower sides, very hard using a mirror and everything is backwards. It makes a world of difference trimming someones else's beard. I trim my brothers and i have to admit, i do better than some barbers. Using premium clippers and beard trimmer definitely helps also.
Great work, that was a beautiful beard that fella had, loved the symmetrical grey at the front, and finished style looked awesome, might be my next too.
Been recently looking into beard channels here on UA-cam. Just came across yours. Really like your content, so I subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more.
This was a great video, and one I've been wanting to see. As others said, would be nice to see a DIY, although conceptually nothing would really change. Thanks!
Great video guide, I watched this and your at home version the only thing I would like to see is if those plastic guides are helpful or hindrance or if it's just user error on my part because it seems like I always get closer on one side of my beard than the other when I use them. Thanks and have a great weekend
this is one of my favorite beard styles! I've had several barbers attempt this on me and none have really pulled it off like this! i would love to see a shorter version done
@@mattyconradgrooming I'm the same man. Just wish they would stop with the weekly drops it's destroying my bank account haha. Anyway I'm going off topic! Keep up the awesome content!
Awesome video!! Finished product was sleek! I've been growing my beard out and using your how-to videos to trim and sculpt it. So far, so good! Wish I lived closer to your shop!!
A shorter duck tail would a a good video. Would like to know your tips for the downwards moustache kratos has and how to blend it nicely with the beard. Great video as always.
Love your channel! Would love to see a video of a beard that doesn't have the normal wirey texture. My beard hair texture is more like the texture of hair on the head. I do have a shaved head so this beard shape is perfect.
Man, this video's giving me all kinds of inspiration. I've been growing a beard mainly because it's February in Saskatchewan and it would be a really dumb idea not to have one in this arctic weather. But, now that spring's here, I might keep it around, and have fun with it. I do kind of have to be careful because I'm bald, 6'5 and a weightlifter with 25 lbs of muscle, so I end up accidentally intimidating people a lot, lol.
Thank you! I've been trying to figure out what the proper name of this shape beard was, so I could ask for it. A DIY of it would be awesome too (please and thank you). 😁
A video on how to grow out the beard would be great, especially keeping it neat along the way. Example how to keep the neck neat enough for an office but lower the neckline as the beard grows… I think so far all I’ve seen is basically just let it grow, but I don’t want to be too unruly at work but I don’t want to be trimming away what I may need later. Basically how to go from a short beard to a kratos beard and be tidy along the way!
It would be interesting to watch you give yourself the Kratos beard style trim. It's one thing to watch you do the trim on someone else, which gives me a good idea on how to trim someone else's beard in that manner, but I think it would be more helpful to see you perform the trim on yourself which may show techniques, tips, angles of attack, etc. for doing the same thing while looking at one's self in the mirror. Great video none the less, as always!
Definitely do a video showing how to DIY this!
Let’s see how many people agree
Do it
I agree
I also agree, the bottom is really hard to do by yourself and self tutorials on this specific style are scarce unfortunately.
Also, that 45 degree angle thing would be nice in a DIY vid👍
But shorter please !

Aww man that’s so great to hear! Thank you 🙏🏻
Yes 🎉🎉🎉 I love the duck tale it’s my preference thanks to Chris Ramsay he’s the reason I wanted to grow a beard lol savage af for a Canadian aye?😂😂
I would definitely love to see a shorter ducktail tutorial! I kinda learned to do it on my own based on all of your videos, but I wonder how you would approach it directly.
Alright. It’s on!
@@mattyconradgrooming Sweet, thank you man!!! Much love!❤Your videos changed my beard game forever!
Man I’m at 1.5 months of beard growth, your beard care tips just worked on me like magic, thank you and the KRATOS beard is awesome, keep growing and take care.
That’s awesome! I’m so excited to hear that!
These videos (music, style, voiceover etc) are very peaceful to watch (and totally compliments the Old Fashioned I just made 🥃 :) thx Matty!
I can’t think of a better way to watch it then with an old-fashioned
19:12 Wow. Great job! You are a Master of Your craft, Sir.
Hell yes Matty! Not only have I been searching how to trim a ducktail beard, I also JUST bought the same exact set of clippers and trimmers from Wahl!! Thanks for this!
I’m just editing a version where I give it to myself at home! Hopefully it will be helpful!
Thank you for this ! love Kratos , ur model is
awesome for working on him - always the constant professional with just the right amount of humor - great video and awesome work as usual !
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I really appreciate it.

Nicely done, looks great. I'd like to see that future video of you giving yourself this cut also.
Coming up!
Excellent as always Matty Man!
Very nice tutorial. When are you gonna bring out your own set of victory-tools? ;)
That guy really has the aura of a legend. The colouring of his beard is magnificent.
🧐. Hmmm I should probably do that

Awww man… thanks for the compliment
DIY'd my beard based on this video, and although not perfect it's not bad at all. Very helpful.
Great to hear! I have a DIY version coming soon!
You knock that out the park!! I'd like to see a short version ducktail tutorial 👍
You got it 👍🏼
3 months of beard and hair growth and I'm following your tips - it works awesome! it is slow but progressive 😊
Gotta do it man.
This man’s beard is strong, loves this video

Just awesome! I'm sure he got more than a few comments on this afterwards!
He did! My dude went on vacation the next day and said he got asked at least 50 times who did his beard 😂
@@mattyconradgrooming I believe it. Pure art what you do.
Perfect job
In beard trimming there is no such thing as perfection… the goal is to be close to it.
This was solid!
Thank you sir!
Thank you for making this!
Thanks for watching.
I do enjoy your videos, Matty! Got me inspired to get started. 3 months in, getting somewhere!
That’s awesome Simon! Glad it’s helping!
100% Njce work Matty.

Do you do classes in the Midwest area?
Great video!!!
I do! Not sure how many this year just yet but I’ll get a calendar going.

Great video man!
Thank you i
Awesome beard style!!

Great video as always.
Solid request. I’ll make sure to focus on that

Awesome 👍
Spot on, and it suited him too.
Thank you! Much appreciated
Hello how are you. Can you please refer me to someone that could do this beard style for me in Miami, thanks

I wish I could find a barber in DFW area that can do this!!
There are plenty of great barbers down there! Ask my friends at FW Barber Supply who they recommend.
Rahim 's beard went from a 10/10 to 20/10. Love the black & grey.
Right!!! Cant wait for your video brother!

Would love to see a shorter Kratos on Matty! Haha.

That’s a damn fine beard! Also Matty has those god tier beard genetics.
Lol I wish…. I guess we’ll find out in the DIY
Gonna come visit you one day and ask for this cut
Looking forward to it!
Don't usually like a hedge trimmed beard but this one is truly beautiful. It's a much needed technique to create what is a computer generated beard.
Lol… those animated beard styles are tricky 😂
@@mattyconradgrooming mine is almost all one length, so no hedge trimming here
