    My husband has been rocking a beard for a couple years but never had a clue how to trim/maintain it (no one ever showed him how). Then I came across your videos a few months ago on how to do beard trims/maintenance at home to share with him, and they have been a game changer! I will say, I've been the one studying up and learning these skills to replicate on him, and I have improved so much because of your videos and his beard is the best it's ever been. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!!!

    For some time, I've been wearing a long beard, but I've always struggled with trimming and styling it effectively. Your videos have been a revelation-they're incredibly helpful and easy to follow for beard enthusiasts like me. They've sparked my interest in self-trimming and enhancing my beard. I'm looking forward to seeing more detailed videos on trimming long beards and mustaches on your channel. I'm also excited about your upcoming tutorials on shaping a rounded beard and chemical straightening (relaxing). Keep up the fantastic work!

    Just a quick note to say thanks. Had a disastrous beard trim recently, he undercut it and made it look transparent and weak at the front as well as lopsided, I can't find a decent barber round here to fix things and the clippers I had were awful. So armed with new Gamma+ clippers and trimmers set and your videos, I plucked up the courage to have a go myself. Your videos took the mystery out of things, it's not a dark art after all and I now have a 'soft' square beard and a trimmed and shaped handlebar 'tache.
    You have made an old man (and his missus) very happy, thanks!

    Hola, Matty.
    First of all, thank you for sharing all of these tricks and details on how to model our beards like you do. These recommendations are very useful.
    Second, I admire your beard and how well these 3 styles fit perfectly on you. You are so blessed for having a versatile beard like yours.
    Finally, I really love how you encourage us to improve our skills on shaping our own beards with a magic ingredient known as PATIENCE.
    Thank you for your ideas, your time spent on creating content like this one and your leadership, Señor Conrad.
    Regards from Tijuana, México.

    Growing my first beard in 60 years. It's at the 2-month stage. I'm going to let it grow out for another 2 months, but I'm now starting to think about what style I want, and how to achieve it. To help me out on my first trim, I'm upvoting the request for full-length videos on all those shapes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    @CoolHandLukeDuke 11 місяців тому +4

    Love these tips! Your channel and channels like it have REALLY helped me up my beard game. In 5 or so years, I've gone from having little growth ability to a beard that only takes a couple months to be strong. I've only sat in one barber's chair and honestly, I probably spent a hour fixing it after leaving, so I guess I prefer to trim/style my own beard. Being a balding guy, a good beard is a huge compliment to the overall aesthetic. Thanks again, Matty!

    One idea! I’d love to see a series of you consulting on beard styles for a few guys with different head shapes. Could be a nice way for people at home to see how to approach assessing their own noggin and what would look best on them.

    I'm 73 and have been growing my beard for just over 2 months now. I want to let it grow for another 3-4 months before deciding on a shape, though I'm leaning towards rounded now. I'm bald on top and I keep the side hair medium long, but tighter around the ears and lower back, so that's another issue I have. I don't want to do a buzz or shave my head yet. Your videos differently have me thinking.

    Man I just started watching your videos in a lazy attempt to grow my beard and I got to say these videos gave a more confidence to actually grow it and educate myself on how to take care of them.
    I’m such a fan and hopefully I can keep learning from your videos.
    The triangular shape fits me the best but I have sometimes taken a little too much from the bottom and sides trying to achieve the right look. Slowly getting better tho. 👍🏻

  • @leohernandez1274
    @leohernandez1274 11 місяців тому +1

    Matty, thanks for the great tips! Could you consider a tutorial on a more layered & natural look. Although, it can definitely be more difficult to master. That is, to keep trimmed but beard walls more layered and natural rather than straight, flat, and completely uniform. For example, Leto Atreides Dune beard look. Maybe get someone with a large beard and wittle it down and layer it to look Oscar Isaac Dune like?
    Haven’t found anyone that shows this, but, you’re the one man that can pull that off on UA-cam!! Let’s do this Matty!

    Could you do a video discussing growing and grooming styles of the mustache in combination with a full beard?
    I am currently trimming to the top of the red of my lip, which seems to be common for many men. But I see most beards you show have the stash trimmed to the bottom of the lip and I don't know how to achieve that from my current style

  • @arjun._.bbC6
    @arjun._.bbC6 11 місяців тому +1

    Solid video as always, Matty. Point to be noted- it's worth mentioning the "hybrid shapes", like "square and round" (parallel sides, slightly rounded bottom) and "squared ducktail" (flat bottom but parallel to your jaw; not pointed). Reason I say this is because these have become more popular over the years than these classic shapes. They're also more natural than the above 3, in my humble opinion.
    Regardless, as someone who styles his beard like a ducktail in the morning and it becomes a round shelf with parallel sides as the day progresses, I'm very pleased with this video and this guide. Thank you!

    I have an uneven beardgrowth, one side growing down, the other growing softer and sideways. I have an hard time using anything like guards, because one side needs to be shortened, but if that happens to the sideways side, it will be much flatter and a visible difference.
