I’ve had one of those trimmers for 5 years plus. You need to remove the cutting head (not the cutting guard, the actual cutting blades) every couple of months (the actual cutting head pops off - quite a lot of hair gets in there), clean it, and lubricate with some ptfe spray. If you don’t do this, the trimmer will struggle more and more and sound as though it’s slowing down, even when fully charged. Some people might assume that their trimmer is broken when it does this, but it just needs maintenance.
I’m in my 50’s, have the same trimmer and never considered different length cuts for different parts of the face! Seems so obvious now, I’ll give it a try 😅. Thank you.
Nice one, thanks for the tips. I've got good heavy stubble with even coverage naturally, I liek how yours is darker near the bottom and lighter under the cheeks. Trimming mine to create this look as I think it looks sharp and emphasises the jaw line.
I find that strangers make more eye contact with me when I have a short beard than with a long one. Much depends on how much you smile, though. Great beard trim and haircut from the barber.
We have a lot of the same thought and I've learned this over time just naturally... So strange. I came here to learn new tips... I am guilt of trimming along the jawline but underneath a little more so it's not noticeable unless someone is below me. Also I have a great tip! I have very oily and sensitive skin so the hair always sticks and gets ingrown. That is until I used a decent lint roller to remove all the hairs and dead skin. It's basically tape and you use a couple sheets. But that makes it so there's nothing on your face or stuck in poored when you wash. Keep up the great work man! I tried to show my girlfriend the video to say "see I'm not the only one" but she was busy lol. Pce man!
Tips : If you somehow get a hair or a dust in your eye, guys, don't try to get it out with your finger because you are going to push it into your eye and it will be more difficult to get rid of it, simply at first try to blink your eye a couple of times and if that doesnt work rince it with some physiological serum or some water and blink. If all that doesnt work, get a Q-tip, put some physiological serum on it and gently try to grab it with the Q-tip.
Quick heads up to anyone from the US that is interested in purchasing the "Philips Series 5000" showcased in this video. The Wall Plug included with the charger is a Type C plug, you'll need to buy an outlet adapter if you don't already have a Type C outlet in your house/apartment. Wish I knew this before-hand, but I figured I'd comment this anyways.
You basically have a beard design naturally and in my opinion this is a bonus lol. You even trimmed the lower part shorter and it still looks a bit longer (because it’s heavier) this is good imo because that means you don’t have to work too much swapping the trimmer heads and it can look good even with only one length all around.
Thanks bro. Great video. For some reason most people making videos for the "short beard" are well into "medium beard" length. Appreciate the great tips
The neck acne might be ingrown hairs that need to come out, caused by not using a guard. I love everything else but I’d recommend sticking to a straight/safety razor for the neck, especially if you’re prone to persistent acne. Anyone asking about skincare should probably start with exfoliating for sure if using a beard trimmer
@@jsmith7888 Yes they do, there are varying levels of hormones that can cause beard growth or hormonal disorders. Also, those Indian girls can live in the west as well. Just cause you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist.
I’m so bored of my beard, it grows a bit higher and thicker on my cheeks, might go short like you so might like it a bit more! Also picking up that trimmer 👍🏼 been after a replacement for ages
Well I watched your video...it was great. Us men think we are always trimming and shaving the best.i took all your advice and I must admit it was so much better than I normally do. Cheers buddy
@@jaguaresed a beard with a bird living in it. Lol Istill think a big beard looks better. Even if someone can't grow great beard, whatever they can grow will look better then stubble. In my opinion.
@@Jay-sd9ye yeah that's cool everyone is different but I prefer a stuble it looks more jagged edge, or cooler to me haha but yeah I seen the big beards and it's cool too
@@jaguaresed no it isn't. A big beard gives you much more potential to style. Not sure where you got the dirty thing from. Nobody said anything about not cleaning it
Ignore all the cocky vikings - great video! Like the different tips especially the one to solve the darker patchy areas when trimming. Finished look is great ...and shaved hairs in the eye is a definite pain in the a** (or eye)
Great tips. I use the Norelco MG7790 and have had good performance. I'll look at the Phillips when I'm ready for a new one. Looks like McThursti gives it a thumbs up too so it must be proper.
I like this video. What are your thoughts on trimming under nose to give the mustache more shape (as opposed to letting it grow up into nostrils)? Thanks!
Hey Louis. Need to let you know today on American TV you were featured in a UA-cam commercial. It was showing your DIY haircut tutorial along with other UA-camrs. It was very quick but there you were!
We trim very similar. I may have a little more on the upper cheek and I have more between the stache & beard, other than that, I do the same process, but a tad bit longer.
One thing that really annoys me is that my moustache always grows spiky outwards. And whenever I trim it, it trims unevenly, so that I end up with, again a spiky moustache, just shorter. And they cut unevenly, no matter what type of trimmer I use. Whenever I go to the barber, they manage to trim it perfectly evenly. I don’t understand how they do it. It’s depressing me because my moustache looks really uneven and spiky in between barber visits and I want to learn how to maintain it myself.
Jaysis man, so I'm gathering you're not keen on the obvious line following the jaw beard look then! Spare a thought for us lads who no longer grow black hair evenly across the face and now have ALL white or grey from the chin/jawline down, it becomes very hard to get a natural rounded fade under the jawline then without the grey dominating your beard. Great video though and appreciate the tips on evening the growth out and the 'tache, cheers
@@DJJammyD I thought it did too but I get the idea that it must be very obvious looking in real life when your face, jaw is moving, as opposed to just looking in the mirror. I was doing it to cover up a double chin but prob highlighting it even more. I'm trying the method in the video now.
Why do all of you guys say not to follow the jawline? I do experiment, and recently i disregarded your advice and went with my jawline, and i got compliments on my night out . Somebody even told me i look like a model lol. So i take issue with yt advices not to follow jawline when trimming neck
Now that I know how to groom my beard, I can shift my focus to growing one
Yawn
Lmao 😂
Use bear oil, or dragon kunnunghal also help
Use minoxidil. End of. Works for me. Theres large online community around it too.

we have the exact same facial hair type. The density, the growth pattern. I found the perfect video!
I love the way you appreciate and not looking down on the "just uniform touch" trim
Thanks! I'm just beginning to grow myself a proper beard.. (18) so It's nice to learn the basics of maintaining a nice beard!
i cant believe i actually watched a man shave his beard for 10mins. But to be honest what a great video i learnt so much

Bro your jawline is just 🔥, need tips regarding it.
For those trying to get the "U" shape under the chin, I go with placing two finger widths above my adam's apple to get a good point of reference.
Best video i have seen regarding this topic !! Thanks cheers from Toronto
So glad I’ve found this video. Just grown my first beard and it is looking a mess. Now I know how to look after it. Thanks.

This is beautiful i tell you guys I achieve this look with just a blade and a 0mm razor I wish o could afford some guards
3mm looks great
coming here after messing up is a humbling experience
Excellent tutorial!!
Good unique content. That’s what I searching for.
I have always mistakenly shaved downward. Also, I'm not intimidated by your looks. I am fine in my own skin.
But sum people say to trim the patch to blend it in with the terminal hair
Now time for the real challenge
*GROW A BEARD*
Hi Johnny! Johnny Bravo!
Good video man, helped me allot! 👊🏼
My facial hair is still quite short but if it ever grows out more This will be useful xD Thanks for the tutorial either way :3
Thanks your video helped me my wife loves it.
Best instruction so far😊👍👍
I like this video. What are your thoughts on trimming under nose to give the mustache more shape (as opposed to letting it grow up into nostrils)? Thanks!
The natural way a mustache grows under the nose looks much better then that stupid line some ppl like to do
Cool buddy, impressive!
Braun BT 7240 is also great. BTW What did you do that your teeth are so white and clean?
You ever tried the phillips 9000 prestige bud? And how would you compare it to this one?
I don’t have a beard, I don’t have a boyfriend and watching this 😂
Philips 7000 series is the best trimmer one should buy
The mistake is to cut the connection between your beard and moustache. It's not a nicer look
Disagree
Personal preference
It’s called opinion. Google it.
Thx for the top instructions from Germany 🤙👌
Can’t believe you have actually removed moustache beard connection
Yeah i think is better all conected.
Thank goodness I have glasses less likely for flying hairs getting in my eyes when touching up my beard.

Thanks for the very informative video.
Great video! Thanks for all the advice!
The kind of tips I was looking for. Thanks!
My dad never taught me and wasn’t really around… thankyoy
Thanks, God bless you, mate!!
My beard is the same as you. A little patchy. More than 3mm is well? Like 4 and 5 at the sides.
We trim very similar. I may have a little more on the upper cheek and I have more between the stache & beard, other than that, I do the same process, but a tad bit longer.
Your beard's nice but your hand fur needs a 1.0mm trim from the knuckles down halfway and a 3.5mm trim to where the wrist starts.
I want to know what hair products you use.
Believe it or not, I wear goggles when I use the trimmer because it seems my eyes have a magnet for the hair clippings 🤷🏻♂️
One thing that really annoys me is that my moustache always grows spiky outwards. And whenever I trim it, it trims unevenly, so that I end up with, again a spiky moustache, just shorter. And they cut unevenly, no matter what type of trimmer I use.
Whenever I go to the barber, they manage to trim it perfectly evenly. I don’t understand how they do it. It’s depressing me because my moustache looks really uneven and spiky in between barber visits and I want to learn how to maintain it myself.
Ask ur barber for tips. They generally know what they r doing.
They use a small comb to trim the moustache, it allows you to blend the fulcrum more easily
Just ordered mine, thanks for making the video! :-)
