Blonde Patchy Beard to Yeard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มี.ค. 2018
- Do you feel that you have a patchy beard and are unsure whether to grow one? So did I, but I decided to grow a beard anyway and it has been one of the best things I have done.
In this video (my first ever TH-cam Video) I discuss my Journey giving tips and advice and hopefully offering motivation for those who have doubts.
This is the beginning of a bigger project but wanted to do a pilot TH-cam video to become familiar with the process of creating a video. It is clear I have a long way to go, but I thought rather than perfect this video I should just get it out there, in the hope that I can improve as I go.
I did this because I would just keep procrastinating and never have published this video. Lots went wrong, my sound did not record on my recorder (thankfully the Camera mic was better than anticipated), my editing was dodgy but in many ways I do not want my videos to be perfect, I am generally a chaotic soul, and feel that this should be somewhat reflected in my videos.
I chose to focus on my beard journey, however the future project will extend to my general Journey to try and do good in the world despite my mediocrity, despite my chaos. I believe that If someone so mundane, average and unspectacular can do good, then we all can.
I hope that when I do begin this project, a revolution of sorts, people will help me along the way. I wont give too much away at this point, but the REVOLUTION will be focused on FEAR (including philosophical discussion and exploration on this subject)
For those who are interested I used a Panasonic G7 with the G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH lens.
Thank you for watching. I am genuinely really grateful.
if you want to be there for this ambitious journey please do subscribe and look out for more sometime later in the year.

Any donation, however small is received with genuine thanks.

UPDATE VIDEO IS OUT! Check it out! Thanks so much, Mark
Can‘t see those patches he‘s talking about...
Dude. I’m a 3 months into a fairly patchy beard. I watch this video probably once a month. I love it. It’s corny to say but it’s pretty inspirational. Growing a beard especially if it’s not the “Mercedes Benz “ of beards ain’t always easy. Very much appreciate what you’ve done and I want to thank you. Never posted on TH-cam or anywhere for that matter. Thanks brother ✊🏻
3 months is good going my friend, 2 months more and you will really know what you are working with! I really do appreciate your feedback, it really means a lot...and I prefer corny to be honest, so many hide behind a thin veil of stoicism and feigned strength, so it is great to be authentic. Keep going and let me know how it goes!
That was impressive growth. Thank you for your words of wisdom. I'm at week 9 wolith starting my first yeard. Gives me inspiration to keep going. You have a solid ten mustache!
I'm about 5 weeks into growing a beard. Mine is blonde and super patchy and this video helped alot! Thanks for the inspiration to keep going brother!
Early stages my friend! Awesome time ahead.
Honestly you just have to give it that time. You do learn to be emotionally/psychologically resilient during the journey, as long as you focus on the goal.
Are you doing a video? Time lapse?...start doing one, then you can be the next person to inspire a future budding beardsman!
Thanks so much for the comment
Best beard video. I'm starting month 3 today. Most videos tell you to wait a month which is to early. 3-6 months depending on your hair (ie, longer for curly hair). I've always cut it after 2 months and just assumed I couldn't grow one. Patience and time.
Awesome video dude! I have a few patches in my beard, mainly the connectors between the tash and the beard. This video has given me a good boost 👍
Thanks bud, your beard looks strong from your pic, it will be an epic beard methinks. How long is that growth? and how long do you intend to grow it? I'm not even sure you could call your beard patchy. I often think that this "growth pattern" is reflecting your personal gene expression which is quite cool when you think about it...that a beard is a window into your very own genes.
What's fantastic video. Bravo!!!
Everything you said is my experience too. I just completed my yeard in April. I have battle wounds from nay sayer. That being mostly family. I to am a weak goal finisher and feel very accomplished in my yeards journey. Your beard is fantastic and the mustache is the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing your story...
Hey Mark, thanks for letting me in on your personal experience. I often wonder how many guys out there harbor such doubts like you and I. I imagine it is more than we think. As I'm getting older I am willing to take a risk and open myself up to ridicule, trying to remember that tomorrow may never come, so what does it matter if others look so judgementally on anything I do, anything I am?
Well done for battling to your years. You should be all the more proud because of the challenges.
My next challenge and goal is a novel (and more TH-cam content). Slow progress, but with people like you offering such positive feedback, I shall keep moving forward.
Thanks again Mark, I wish you the best of luck in any future Journey or Goals you may have or undertake... and in life in general of course...
The most inspirational beard video I have seen. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Justin, really high praise and really appreciated, glad you enjoyed this. Hope you beard growing goes well...
Thanks for the vid! I already love my beard, but your positive message inspires me that much more. Subscribed!
Thanks for comment and the subscribe, early days, so any support I can get is honestly gratefully received. Really great to hear that you love your beard... especially because it might be argued that it is proud statement of who you are. All the best to you
Looks great. They say we are not defined by beards but it is definitely part of us. I'm about 3months in now. I liked it at 6 to 7 months. Thanks for sharing
What a great statement! It is strange how a beard does become elevated to one of your more important anatomical regions!
I think I will settle for the length I get at 6-7 months...I will call this "Peak beard".
Thanks for the nice comment, have a Merry Christmas.
Dude most of the things you said I really felt them as I have been on my own journey. 7 months so far. And that background music kinda make me sad thinking about my journey. Be well brother!
Thanks for sharing my friend, and being kind...bearded... work...education...life in general... whatever the journey there is beauty, sadness, joy...wonder and so much more...7 months you are going strong l, keep in touch and let me know how it goes...take care bro
Thank you for your advice. I'm only six weeks in to a slightly patchy beard....But I'm loving it to replace my long hair that I cut off a few years ago....
Nice one...another 6 weeks and you will almost out of the awkward stage...6 weeks after that...and your beard will really be taking shape! Not far when you break it down...good luck my friend!
Thanks for the video. You look so much more masculine with a big beard. Congrats on reaching your goal!
Haha, indeed...I always wanted to somehow personify irony...I think I have achieved this on growing the beard ☮️
This is beautiful and a well put together video that is so so underated. I'm glad that I stumbled upon your video. Cheers and beard on my fellow bearded gentleman
Thank you so much my bearded brother for the kind words, feedback like this is greatly appreciated.
My moustache has so far changed shape twice in the first 3 months. The right side sat weird for the first 2 months, then it sat like the left did for the first 2 months. Then the left side did the opposite, and is now sitting like the right did. I know the beard grows out and kinks in different ways as it gets longer, and I know it will also sort itself out as it gets longer. It's annoying that it's swapped in it's unevenness, however patience is a virtue, and I know the end result will be glorious.
The moustache is a very satisfying feature of the beard in my view, but I am definitely hearing what you say about the frustrations...you are right about patience... perseverance is the key, and also making sure you train it throughout the day when it gets to a good length...using wax in the morning...good luck bud, and keep me updated 👍
Wow this was powerful! Great video.
Thanks JT, really appreciate it (and for subscribing).
Thanks for sharing, this was exactly what I needed for motivation to keep growing. Your beard looks really great and your choice of words very inspirational.
Nice one Lars, thankyou so much for the feedback. How far are you into growing your beard? Is it your firsr time growing?
Thanks again.
REVfearOLUTION I’m only in 1 month of growing, the longest ive grown a beard for was 4 months, but that was with trimning. This time I’m gonna try leaving it as it is.
Did you get a lot of comments on the way?
4 months is pretty good, but over six months and you really know that you are growing a beard. Strangers (particularly guys) tend to make really positive comments, whilst without doubt family were my greatest dissenters! This is perhaps motivation in many ways, because strangers will be looking at you from a far more objective and less emotive lens and therefore give you confidence to continue. Do you think you will do a video?
Would love to see how the beard develops.
I agree on the months of growing. First time I did trim my moustache and the sides as well. This time I'm really gonna try to just leave it as it is and first trim way longer into the process. Are you growing out your sides now?
My beard has some patchy spots here and there and sometimes its hard not to focus on that negatively. But I´m gonna try to love my beard as it is, cause someone told me that would be a good idea.:-)
I'm in the really itchy state right now and it tests my patience and inner voice already.
If I'm going to do a video, I´m gonna do in a way similar to yours. I really like the way you showed us the final result first, followed by your pictures of your journey. I must say, I have seen a lot of beard videos but yours is my all time favourite. I´m not sure I´m gonna post on my channel though, but I will gladly send it to you if you would be so kind as to give some feedback when the time comes.
Thanks for replying and also showing interest in my process, it means a lot.
+Lars Hugo That inner voice doesn't really go away, but it does get quieter and less annoying over time, and besides, as I'm getting older, I'm learning not to worry too much about my doubts or indeed the negativity of others...
I was lucky not to get too itchy, but I always exfoliated my skin...Twice a week in the beginning which I'm sure had a positive effect.
I don't take compliments well but thanks for the kind kind words. I'm actually doing an update video as we speak that will discuss the sides out of respect and thanks for the people like you that have been so supportive (I was only ever going to do this one!).
I would love to see any video you do, this whole thing... growing a beard, doing the TH-cam video. I would highly recommend to anyone, taking those tiny steps to overcoming some of our inner fears!
Thanks again Lars.
Your beard looks awesome! Who cares if your beard is a little weak on the sides. Your front is strong and makes up for it. 👌🏻
Nice one Cal...thanks so much. I'm sure others with doubts will appreciate this comment too. Stay safe ✌️
Best video I have seen on growing a full beard. Thankyou sir! Your spirit shines brightly!
Thanks Dr W, I am glad that people are still finding something positive in this video. I wish you all the best 🙏
@@revfearolution Do you still have the big beard?
@@reinhardkruger2536 I did just trim it by half, but it never goes below about 6 months worth of growth. I am due to do some more vlogs soon, so will give you an idea of that lower limit.
@@revfearolution Thankyou! Did you ever watch Phil Robertson on TH-cam? He has a long beard.
I did as it goes, an interesting fellow and cool beard!
Forget the beard, those eyes are beautiful wtf. Staring right into my soul guy..
And there I was thinking that my eyes looked dead inside! The glare of a desperate sort awaiting the next edition of OK magazine! Nice one...thanks for the comment 👍
Nice , currently growing out mine 6 weeks into it , very similar to yours strong goatee and not so strong cheek. Was interesting to see the pictures thanks :)
Awesome, let me know how that goes! It would be great to have better cheek growth, bit it hasn't held me back or stopped me loving my beard. Good luck...
Looks great. I'll be at a yeard in 11 days. My cheeks are a bit weak as well, but they're slowly starting to fill in a bit since I started taking 10,000 mcg of biotin and multivitamins a couple of months ago. I've decided to shoot for 18 months, perhaps a tweard before having it shaped. I subscribed to your channel, looking forward to seeing more from you.
Awesome...11more days? The countdown begins! I have taken 10000mcg from the beginning, seems to have worked ok for me too.
18 months sounds like a good timeframe. The tweard would be an epic achievement!
I trimmed a few inches off just after the yeard. It is about years length again now and might see if it gets close to terminal in the next year.
Are you happy with your beard? Would you do a video?
Good luck and truly well done, nearly there!
I loved your story, and I felt very identified in some aspects.
I will tell you my case, briefly.
I let me grow a long beard, my wife didn't like it but it didn't stop me either, we have some personal limits and these are separate decisions, I like him for who he is, not for how he looks, and I firmly believe that he thinks the same, I would like it the same with a punk crest than with hair down to below the waist, which by the way is how she wears it.
Everything went well at the beginning, I had my own company that started well but sadly and after the pandemic I had to end up closing...
I'm still actively looking for a job, yes I've done some shifts and overtime where I can, but nothing really fixed.
He once told me that it would be easier for me if I kept my beard trimmed... I told him that he simply doesn't understand, I have had a long beard for so long that for me it would be like losing an arm, or an eye, and this will sound very beast, but even I would prefer it before trimming...
I keep looking for a place that really fits my long beard, it's part of me and my personality... and I love it, but sometimes there are bumps in the road... but without my long beard, I feel like it wouldn't be I... it's complicated.
Thanks for taking the time to share your own situation, I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the impact of the pandemic, and the challenges you continue to face.
After having a beard now since 2017, I completely understand the reluctance to change the length, my beard really is a big part of who I am.
It must be frustrating to consider that this may be holding your work prospects back.
Perhaps you could experiment with slightly shorter...I'm tempted at times to experiment and I think this is the beauty about facial hair, you do have options, and if it doesn't work out, you can be back to a bushy beard within a few months...knowing that you can grow a beard.
With my moustache, I have been tempted to try the "beardstache" which I think looks really cool, or even the verdi style.
I think the important thing is that we should get a little excited with the options and possibilities of experimentation that come from having a beard, which is far more than we could say about a smooth faced brothers!
i really love the progress!
Thanks Chris, I really appreciate you taking the time to say so (even in my day to day life Guys are always the most complementary) . The beard fraternity is the best!
Love this bro! Great advice for me as I’m starting to grow mine too, a similar colour to yours actually. About one month in.
Nice one my kindred beard! Is it the first time you are growing? Good luck with the growing, if you remember, let me know how you get on...try to get at least between the 4-6 month mark! Thanks for the feedback my friend...
REVfearOLUTION yea first time! I’ve never done it because some of it’s quite blonde and the cheeks don’t fill in as thick but I’ve decided to just give it a go. Will let you know how I get on!
@@isaacizdabest Nice one... Don't worry too much about the cheeks... My go to example of a great beard with virtually no cheeks is Leonardo Dicaprio... Most of his beard comes from the chin and neck... I think he has a very strong look and shows how growth on the cheeks are not really necessary...thanks again for the comment Isaacs and Good luck with the growing bud.
I think you have a great beard and also you should continue to just listen you your instinct for how you would like it to look like, I’ve also got patchy sides which irritate me while my chin is the thickest, but I’m sure by watching your video I’m going to continue to grow and see how the sides grow in time with the rest of it, hopefully they get a little thicker with patience and time!
Instinct is a great term...it plays a very important role in my future videos, but I think it is really well applied when growing a beard. Patience is also so very important...is this your first time growing a beard? Is your goal the yeard? Thanks for the comment and beard love.
Your beard looks awesome, brother!
Thanks RPC, appreciate you taking the time. Take care my friend
I felt more alive hearing and watching you speak. Great video! - And beard!!
Thanks for this lovely feedback...wishing you a very excellent coming year
Excellent beard. And excellent content. Loved the theme music and the way you explained the entire thing.
You got an amazing moustache. Keep growing, beard on.
Thanks so much Arnab (is that you in the pic?...super cool beard pic)
I really appreciate the feedback, and my moustache wasn't even at its best! I really wanted music...this is important for future video's (non beard related) to create that emotion so thanks for mentioning this.
Thanks again for taking the time. All the best to you and your beardlife! (and life in general of course)
REVfearOLUTION yep. That's me in the pic and thank you. Appreciate your kind comment.
I would love to connect over Instagram if you are on. I go by the same name as my youtube handle.
Looking forward to more content from you.
Nice one, I do have an instagram account with the same name, but I really am a newbie and have only just begun to frequent this platform. I know that to get any message across i will need to be far more savvy in these areas...in building such "platforms" but you know Arnab...I want it to be more organic. I am honestly at the beginning of doing this social media gig and want to be genuine and honest which means that I m not going to be as slick as the more experienced social media operators and perhaps this will always be the case.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings. I shall look forward to seeing more of your awesome beard on Instagram. Thanks again for the input and the support.
REVfearOLUTION stay positive and stay real. Good things shall come your way. They may take time but eventually they will. Don't lose hope and keep doing the good work.👍
Great advice. My sincerest thanks.
And dude....awesome instagram pics. The beard is epic and you personify coolness, You are a natural!
Will be seeing you around my beard brother.
Keep rocking it my bearded brother.
Thanks my friend...I will, without a doubt I am now bearded for life! Thanks for the supportive words...
3 months in it already looked mega
Thanks! In my view, 3-4 months is the period when you really can see a beard emerging, and gives an idea of what you will have. You have a strong look with the beard and shaved head, that I will eventually match, since I am thinning significantly...I did shave my head coming up to the years, but I didn't feel it looked right...I would say 3-6 months is the best length with a shaved head, and after this year (I'm going for terminal beard this year) I will settle for 3-6 months growth. Anyway enough waffle...thanks for the comment, weirdly only just seen it!😂
awesome. Music sounded sad for something that's excitingly impressive.
Thanks for the comment, I agree about the music...I don't think I could argue with a person that accused me of being a maudlin type!
@@revfearolution perfect choice of music.
Great video, especially for a first try. I love your beard, it looks very good on you!
Thanks for that, it is always scary to post your first video. I have always found the beard community to be so positive! Nice to see you rocking the "lone stache"...a bold look and completely underrated in my view!
I'm about 2 1/2 months into growing my first beard at age 56. It's quite patchy...I'm committed to growing to 6 months and access from there. Your video really encouraged me to keep going at a time when I really needed it. Thanks and BEARD ON!
JIM K This is really great to hear, honestly I'm so happy to have been able to give you that little bit of motivation. I think maybe the beard community is amongst the most positive out there... I have never seen a collection of guys or people be so consistently supportive and non judgemental.
If you can let me know how you get on I would appreciate that...6 months is a really good amount of time to assess the beard. You might be shocked how much better it looks, but I would say sometimes you might need longer.
Whatever the case I hope you enjoy the journey, what you are doing is bold...it's exciting, it's daunting...just try to enjoy it. Growing a beard changed me on many levels (for the better). I hope it does the same for you. I wish you the best of luck my fellow beardsman!
Man, what an inspiration!
You just saved my beard brother, thanks!
Great video AND beard!
Beard on. B
My friend, I'm sure I am not worthy of such praise, but I really appreciate the comment and the sub...
I'm a bearded brother for life, hopefully you will be too! Good luck bro.
Thanks, yes the yeard certainly is a commitment!
No worries about asking, glad to offer any advice.
So here is what I do:
- Towel dry gently, soaking up the water by applying pressure.
I never rub my beard like I would with my hair.
- I will then brush it out with my Kent comb, usually the large comb teeth. I shall brush mostly down and out a little. I will brush a bit from the back and down...and out, but not too much because it can get caught and you lose too many hairs.
My moustache at this point I will brush in a natural position.
- I shall apply some oil. I use a pippette, because I can reach the chin area that tends to get quite dry. Usual dime amount used for the rest of the beard. I am not fussy how I apply this, I just make sure that I have reached all the beard.
- I will use my Kent comb again, just brushing down, at this point I will also use my oval palm sized boar bristle brush for the sides. I will use it sparingly, about two to three strokes for each side.
- if I need to, It isn't always necessary, I shall use a hair dryer to blast the sides...very quickly about 2-3 times using my hand or boar bristle brush to keep it straight as the hairdryer moves downward.
This will work well, but I will often fluff the sides out a bit using my fingers underneath.
- I shall take a finger nails worth of balm and work it in my hands and work on my beard, sometimes I shall work from the inside, sometimes just on the outside. I don't think it makes much difference.
- I shall then decide if I want to do anything with the moustache. I will often just leave it, but if I need to, I shall use the hairdryer very quickly after applying a small amount of wax to get the handle bar look. Overall, without rushing, this takes about 10minutes give or take a few minutes.
It is about the best routine I have found so far!
Hope this helps, feel free to ask any more questions!
@@revfearolution Thank you Mark, I appreciate you getting back to me. I enjoy beard videos / information etc, but I must
say, your 2 videos have been not only useful, but very, very enjoyable. Thank you.
Let me know how you get on, and even think about a yeard video yourself! Would love to see the end result!
@@revfearolution Ha ha, we'll see Mark. I will keep in touch, maybe send a pic of the beard, not sure about a video
just yet. Have a great day and bravo to keeping with the yeard. You did an amazing job, and your end result
is wonderful! I'm feeling completely energized about this today and I appreciate it so much.
Enjoyed your video and beard journey. Stay true.
Cheers Stuart, great advice. Take care bud 🙏
So cool, what an awesome beard bro
Nice one, thanks bud...stay safe at this weird time
That mustache is legendary. I wish I could grow a good one.
Thanks bud, though you do look like you have good volume...do you trim your moustache? Or does it just stop growing? I had to train the mustache during the whole time of growing my beard...barely trimming...
@@revfearolution that's just good lighting. It's actually pretty thin/wispy, relatively speaking, and does stop growing fairly quickly. The shorter I keep it, the better it looks but then will clash with the beard unless I keep the beard short as well😆.
But as you say, I still love my beard.
Great lighting then! Lol...your beard does look great, I quite like the 'verdi' beard style, and you don't need a big moustache for this, a bit of moustache training with a good wax, and careful trimming will give a cool luck. Like I say in the video, the uniqueness of each manfacehair is the coolest aspect of growing...thanks for the nice comment have an awesome Christmas/festive period...
@@revfearolution thank you as well. Your video was one of the first, if not the first, beard videos I watched when I decided to grow back in 2018/2019, and was very encouraging. Now I can't not have a beard. Happy holidays to you as well friend. Take care.
You have a awesome beard. Well done!
Cheers for the message...
Not gonna lie I’m having a bit of a tough time in life right now and the combination of the music here and you telling your story made me a little emotional. You should consider reading for a couple audio books, great voice and great beard lad. Also can you inform me on music used in this? Absolutely beautiful
Hey Harrington, sorry to hear that things are difficult at the moment. Hope things improve, life certainly throws curve balls but hopefully you don't feel that you have to get through everything on your own...thanks for the nice comments, I've always hated my voice so I appreciate it...I can't remember the music, but when I get a second sometime in the week (I'm working long days this week) I will let you know...I'm pretty sure the music is a free to use TH-cam one (unknown artist), that I stretched out...it turned out better than I thought...thanks for the comment, and I genuinely hope things turn out okay ✌️
@@revfearolution hello I have taught myself lots of things in the last year and left this mindset behind. I hope you’re doing well sir
In times of tumult and strife if you are still learning, there is much to be hopeful about! Really pleased to hear about the changes, I would be interested to know what you have taught yourself! Cheers for coming back to let me know 🙏
You’re beard grows very similar to mine. It has inspired me to do the yeard challenge 🫡
Mark keep putting videos out they are good.
Thanks dude, that means great deal. I might release my first vlogesque type video before the new year that introduces the project I initially began this channel for. It's bloody scary putting yourself out there though. Thanks for the positive comment, have an awesome new year and maybe let me know what you think of the next video (sadly it isn't beard related, but your feedback would still be appreciated).
I think your beard looks amazing, and I especially like your mustache. I would love to know how you trained your mustache to look the way it does. You look incredible!
Thanks Patrick, appreciate that coming from a beard king like you (going by your profile pic). With the mustache, I would say it is all about letting it grow...then with a bit of wax and a period of time curling it regularly throughout the day, it seems to eventually "stabilize" into the handlebar style (although it will require daily maintenance, especially on waking)...if I want it to stay longer throughout the day, a hairdryer can be used alongside the wax...but I don't really do that, (maybe for a wedding or something like that I will). Thanks for message and subscribe...are you planning to do any vids? Your beard looks epic!
Hey Mark, thanks so much for the reply. And thanks for the info regarding training the mustache. I appreciate your compliment too. My beard actually has a bit of growing to do, at least until August until it gets to the length I'm looking for. I'd like to keep in touch with you somehow. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Nice one Patrick... how long are you hoping to grow your beard? You can message me on my email for this channel, I don't get many messages to this email address (none at the moment!) but will check it sporadically.
The email is revfearolution@outlook.com
Thanks Patrick for the interest, have a great day.
Can't wait to start to start my beard journey!
Thought you had already started it? (the tash is definitely coming on strong 😋)
REVfearOLUTION I feel violated, to say the least.
Dont worry "Niece" You will feel much better... more resilient as the beard grows 😂
Damn. Great beard and growth.
Kellz 9 Thanks dude, always nice coming from a guy that also has an awesome beard (from what I can tell from your profile pic). Thanks for taking the time and having the decency to comment 🙂
Love the video and the beard.
Thankyou good sir! Hope your experience is as good as mine. Wish I could see everyones end product...you should do your own yeard video!
Great video, im 1 month in and getting lots of complimemts, i also have a, well not exactly patchy more thin cheeks and i aiming to get what you had at 3 months, keep rocking that awesome beard!
That's awesome, so great in those early days if people are actually saying nice things, really pleased to hear it! Things can only get better from here for you.
Thanks for the feedback, my beard is a permanent fixture, perhaps yours will be! Let me know...
@@revfearolution thanks i will do, guess it comes with having a bald head.
Things ive noticed so far -
It gets sweaty at the gym.
I have to trim stragglers on my lip that drive me insane.
Some hairs like to stick out instead of going down.
I love sitting at my desk at work and stroking my face.
I have to shave my neckline every two days or it gets scruffy.
Also im a redhead so the cheeks are so hard to see if im not in natural light, anyway im ramblong but i deffo think you should make more videos, and if you do a trim record it, thanks!
I honestly think that redheaded beards are the best! Classic viking look! The cheeks will improve with growth, but as you probably know, the bulk of the beard will be under the chin/neck area... I have known people to have virtually no growth on the cheeks and still look awesome.
If I do a big trim, I will likely do a video for that, I am thinking that if/when I do, I will actually get Mahesh Haywards from Beardbrand to do it (if that is possible )... I might just wake up and decide to just do it myself though... we will see.
Whatever the case, it would be great to see your progress... Are you doing a video? You could at the very least do a monthly time-lapse if you haven't already been doing a daily/weekly picture record...
@@revfearolution i lurk on jeffs beard board, i am posting my progress, if i make it to three months ill send you progress pics feel free to use them in a video, peace out
Jeff's beard board was one of the beard forums that I visited for motivation...in fact without it, I may have actually not reached my goal! Annoyingly though I could never set up my own profile which was a bit disappointing. Would love to see the progress on here...let me know how you can be found...I'm sure others on here would also find it super useful. Thanks so much...
Great beard, Love the Moustache !
Ahh, that is awesome, thanks, especially coming from a future TH-cam Beard Guru!!!
REVfearOLUTION haha I’m not sure if I wanna be the next YT Beard Guru :) but it’s good to know people like the stuff. Thanks so much :)
I really like watching you, subscribed!
Thanks Mike, really appreciate it.
Amazing colour 🎉
Great looking beard and moustache Mark-well done for having the courage to grow-it was certainly worth while-a great look. Especially like the handlebar (kissing aside!) so hope everything still flourishes and you will do more "hairy" videos in the future.
Thanks so much Medomsley (curious username! Rather cool methinks)
I wouldn't have had the confidence as a youth to grow a beard (or ability), but as you get older, you worry less about the small things and learn to live like everyday might be your last! Thanks again for the kind words, all the best to you.
Village in Co. Durham Mark where my folks were in the 18c. Thanks for the response and I do hope you resist any temptation to shave.
I'm pretty sure I am a bearded man for life...its as if my bearded potential had been crying out to be released all these years!
interestingly I did some research on the name (it is my nature to run with my curiosity)...Medomsley, known for mining...and love the Derwent Valley. Tremendously tragic however to hear about the revelations of the detention centre there!
I have looked after teens in a Mental Health Hospital since I was 19yrs and always tried my very best to give the best possible care that I could...I can never understand how people can pray on the most vulnerable. Really sad.
Anyway, sorry to put a morbid spin on things. Thanks again
Mine were at Snow's Green within the Parish Mark. They were never down the pits-always farm labourers changing cottages with hiring. The Derwent Valley is really beautiful-worth a look. Am going up there (en route to Inverness) at month end, so will go round all the old places that they were.
A gt granddad of mine died at the Cheshire Asylum, Upton-by-Chester; got his hospital records-pitiful reading " being difficult" "won't eat" etc.etc. Even though it didn't say I would think he had had a series of mini strokes which did for his mind. He died 1917. You must come across such scenarios at work.
Anyhow be proud of that beard-expect you got ribbing from mates as it was growing, but suspect you now only get jealousy....lol
Nice to see that someone has invested time to look at where they have come from, however sad it can be...enjoy your trip (very jealous!).
Friends were not too bad...it is Mums and Wives that were the issue! They are reasonably cool now thankfully (THEY HAVE NO CHOICE).
My genuine thanks for the self disclosure, always interesting when people share a bit about themselves...peace out friend
Legendary mustache man. I wish I could grow my facial hair to look like a civil war general!! Instead I have full coverage but it’s thin. How depressing! 😢
Thanks for this, Like they say on beard brand..."rock what you got!" I like that all facial hair is different, and now I appreciate all styles, colours, hair growth patterns...I definitely would have been able to grow one before 35, so sometimes it's just a waiting game. Good luck!
And he says " I have a patchy beard " :(
Indeed...
Love your video. I am one week shy of my yeard and I have made quarterly videos to map my progress. I have made all the mistakes people talk about even knowing in advance of the pitfalls. So hard but so rewarding. I am going for another year I believe. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome...are you going to post a video? Would love to see that! Your beard looks magnificent...
The Tweard would be epic...if I don't hear from you, happy yeard day!
Thanks for the support. I will be posting a video next week at the year mark, August 1st.
This is excellent news. Really look forward to it. Good luck my bearded friend!
REVfearOLUTION I would love to see where you are at with your beard now that it is been a few months since this video. Obviously, based on the number of views and positive comments, others would agree. I hope you check back with us but most importantly, I hope you are still satisfied overall with wherever you are at.
Skull Pain Thanks for this, I was just saying to another upcoming bearded TH-camr (The Beard Dream) that I'm unlikely to do much in the way of beard videos, this was a pilot for a future pathway I'm exploring... This was a good start to test the whole process of planning, shooting, editing and posting a video (and also overcoming the anxiety of putting myself "out there") ...honestly though I can't believe how fantastic the experience has been. So many awesome people... Genuinely... It gives me so much hope for the future... Whatever that looks like.
As for current beard progress. I did trim about 3inches shortly after this video, but it has grown again since. I think I'm going to keep going for as close to terminal as I can get it. Plus I still want to see what the sides do with no trimming.
I plan to post for my long term project sometime before the new year. So you will no doubt see the beard progress then! I may yet post a pure update beard video, just to give the respect that all the people kind enough to watch, comment and subscribe on this video deserve.
Whatever the case, I think I will be bearded now until the end of my day's (hopefully) so will be keen to support my bearded brothers like yourself and the beard dream in your futures on this platform. Whatever that entails. Take care my friend (haha... and we'll done if you managed to read right to the end of this rather tedious reply... I like a chat! ) .
Awesome beard!!
Thanks mate, much appreciated (wish my Mum and Wife thought so!!!).
this isn't patchy at all!
you've a really good beard.
wecckyou Thanks for this...many guys I know think the same as me and never try to grow a beard. Comments like yours will hopefully inspire them to think again!
Oh and thanks for my first ever comment and for being so positive! Cheers bud
From the front you wouldn't even notice but from the sides you can see that the cheeks grow in quite patchy. A lot of guys are like this though
The Indivigilante Exactly, it's far more common than I think people realise and is often what stops people from growing out the beard. I'm hoping as the years past the cheeks might get stronger, but if not I will be happy with what I've got. Thanks for the comment.
REVfearOLUTION It's quite possible that they will get thicker throughout your life. The annoying thing about patchy cheeks is the longer you grow the beard, the more pronounced the disparity seems to become
This is a really valid point, i'm struggling with this at the moment and hopefully it will as I age (quite nice that as everything deteriorates the beard gets stronger!). I want to grow the sides out a bit more, but it might be that keeping it trim on these weak areas will be the best for my long term look. I'm going to give it another sixth months to see if it makes a difference. If not I think will settle for Tsar Alexander 3rd's length and style.
you (with this & the following video) helped me a lot to keep growing my beard, thx. my plan is also: the 'yeard' - [having a beard without patches (sorry...) but] - it's a wonderful adventure; looking different, different, different each week. i'm now into month 8. i also found, that my moustache is the same as my grand-grand-father's. when my father saw the 'stache: he went quite emotional. he knew his grandfather, i didn't (only from photographs).
keep on growing. your beard is really nice. and: thx again.
[excuse my poor english: greetings from germany...]
Many of my European brothers have better English than many English people I know!
No apologies necessary...
You also don't need to apologise for having a beard with no patches. This is excellent news, I imagine your beard is looking magnificent!
It is really lovely that you have a link to your Grandfather and also your Father. Thank you for sharing this..all guys should go and take a look at those old photos!
Thanks for the comment and for sharing your positive experience, good luck for the yeard and do let me know how it goes...
i will try to convince my father, to let me take a picture of his beard - and him giving me a photograph of his grandfather. then i will ad a picture of mine, to make up a tryptichon.
That would be so so cool!
What an awesome idea, brilliantly creative...that would actually make a really wonderful present for your Father! or any children you may have...
I think this idea could take the bearded "community" by storm!
/Users/FW/Desktop/Bildschirmfoto 2018-10-10 um 01.36.50.png this is my beard, looking the same as my grand-grand-grand father's, then in the trenches.
Hey Frank, sadly there is no way to view this image!
Woah man, great video bro. Thank you for subscribing to my channel bro! You should make more videos man, the audience certainly loves your content!
Thanks bud, it is really tempting to do more, I have loved the experience and the amount of decent people you engage with is amazing...but this was only ever a practice run for another project. Besides the bearded community will be well served by guys like you and others I have met along the way. Thanks again for the kind words though, I shall continue to support all those in the bearded community. Good luck my friend 😁
REVfearOLUTION awesome man, if you ever decide to make more videos (no matter what they are about) let me know.
You have a perfect beard my friend
Nice one SB thanks for saying so 👍
Thank you very inspiring
Thanks for the kind comment, wishing you a very merry Christmas and s happy new year!
If you stop trimming the sides they will grow just long enough to cover all the light patchy areas and will taper into the neck hairs. Just like the soul patch has a terminal growth limit the sides also will stop growing at a point. Not all beards do that but its a type of beard pattern.
Nice advice, I have let the sides grow more and it definitely provides more coverage and balance... thanks for the comment and subscribe.
I have natural platinum blonde hair and my facial hair comes in the same and I’ve seen a few videos of people saying they have “blonde” hair with a beard but nothing as blonde as mine and my facial hair doesn’t change to anything like brownish or redish it just stays blonde which is cool because I want to have a full platinum blonde beard but there’s a few patches which I’m gonna grow it and let them cover up but it’s super easy to see thru the hairs so I just hope the patches aren’t very visible when it’s growing out
Also I am only 20 so I know my facial hair can still grow in thicker and the patches still have a chance to go away but I’m now starting to just let it grow and start my journey I’m just not ready to go thru the bad phases
@Pace Von Freund it’s been about 7 weeks since I started growing mine out and honestly it’s not too bad like it’s still lacking in some parts but in time it should hopefully grow over I’m just hoping with the blonde it doesn’t start to look all wire like or turns darker or reddish which I don’t think it will but I’m excited for this next month to come because I feel like that’s really gonna be when I start to see what I can and can’t fix
Great advice and support PVF...glad you are persevering Jacob, nice one...I think our beard color has certainly been helped by influx of all the Norse based historical dramas that have been popular over the last five years!
Keep going guys, and let me know how things go, whether you keep the beard or not, got to admire anyone who at least gives it a go!
@@revfearolution I just passed the 2 month mark yesterday and I’m gonna go for at least 3 and see what it looks like from there either I’ll trim and style it or maybe get beard balm or something to controll it but that all just depends on if I like it how it is or not
@@jacobfulbright659 That is a good timeframe to see where you are...I now think 4 months is a better time frame. If you haven't got one, a boar bristle brush after using a Kent Comb is great for controlling the stray beard hairs. I like the oval shaped hand brushes.
Man you got a great beard! I wish I could grow a beard this long!
mynameismoritz Thanks mate. The fun thing about growing a beard is, in many ways the uncertainty...you never know what will happen until you do it. It's perhaps one of the few surprises in life! As I Say in the video, you have to give it at least 3-4 months to judge. Perhaps you just need to try to get past this...maybe even 6 months. I know people who can literally only grow under the chin and on the neck but their beard looks great because this is where you find the "bulk" of the beard.
REVfearOLUTION you are so right! I grew a beard from 11-10-2016 till 3-5-2018. It was the greatest time of my life. I learned so many new things about me! But I trimmed my beard sometimes. And 3 weeks ago I shaved it off. And now I'm starting this journey again! I will take a picture every day and don't trim it like the last time! It will get longer.
Thank you for the awesome video!
Nice one...its amazing that simply growing a beard can be such a big moment in your life, its great to know the impact it had on yours...so really you are a beard pro! out of curiosity though, what made you shave it off? Will be great if you can do a time-lapse style video! let me know if you do one.
REVfearOLUTION I asked myself for so long how I would look with just a moustache. It looked so different that I shaved it all of. And yeah, I will make a timelapse video. I let you know when it's done.
I think it is great you tried, you should never regret stuff like that, plus the "beardstache" (moustache with stubble for those that havn't heard of this) has been one of the most popular/fashionable looks over the past year. Look forward to your updates. Take care dude.
Good beard Mark, I hate the ones without the moustache as the Amish have.
Thanks VBK...To be honest, I have never tried without, I can see why it would be more practical, but definitely.something that hasn't appealed to me at this stage, can't imagine it would suit me, plus my moustache is arguably the strongest part of my facial hair so seems silly not to have it..
You have a awesome beard
Awesome beard man...All hail the men of beards
Bearded men of the world rise up! Nice one...your beard looks like a beast! Warrioresque indeed. Thanks for the support.
Ill drink to that bro....Thanks, I done the yeard myself....
Awesome! when did you do that? did you settle at a specific length, or did/have you continued to grow it?
Just over a year ago and I actually reached the length I was hoping for. Which is around the same length and yours. I did leave it grow a bit longer but it didn't look thick or full at the bottom. So it trimmed it back to the length you have or there abouts.. Have to say that moustache is kicking ass
I really like the length of your beard in your profile pic. I think I may eventually settled for the length that I attained at the six month stage. It is fun to grow long, but you are quite right, the thickness gets lost with length. Your beard does look crazy dense! Thanks about the moustache, though I should have made it look better for my video. I usually put more wax on it, and have it looking more symmetrical. I was procrastinating though leading up to doing the video,, and just decided to do it. I also thought I didn't want the video to be too contrived, so the beard didn't need to be perfect.
You are a good man.
Thanks bud... appreciate it.
"You are not in the room with the beard, the beard is in the room with you"
Haha Indeed...but am I bearded or beardless depending on observation?
What do you mean?
@@revfearolution The beard is in the room with you because the beard deserves the higher attention and honor.
The beard definitely does... Sometimes I feel like the beard is separate to my rather mediocre being. My statement was a reference to Schrödinger's cat 🐱
Great video. You can grow an awesome beard and mustache. Wish I could grow what you can grow.lol
Cheers Matt. You never know what you have until you give it time...also I had to be older than 35, otherwise I would have likely had no hope! Take care bud
I'd have felt complete, I think, at 11:56! I can't even get that far - I start to smell like a sheep - don't look after it well enough though. How did you overcome beardruff (As I call it)? Did you get it? I see you've got a black hoodie on, if I had one on with a beard, it would be a black hoodie covered in white sprinkes of flakey skin! :(
My good friend...it's all about having a consistent routine, committing to the beard, loving the process. Co-washing everyday (using beard conditioner), then using oil perhaps twice a day...this helps with the beardruff. Also twice a week I found it necessary to exfoliate, particularly in the problem areas. I now only find I need to exfoliate once a week.
Do all of these things, and I would be surprised if you didn't get positive results...
Oh and love your Channel by the way...you have a distinctive musical style! 😉
That ain't patchy bro. Your under lip is full, which is rare as hell. I'm very envious! Congratulations on your achievement!
Thanks bud...to be honest, I have never had a problem with the underlip, this has always been a strong growth area. The goatee region has always been good...it is the sides that are really weak. I didn't realise it was a rare thing, so thanks for that!
@@revfearolution yes bro 😂. It's the rarest to get full.
@@KrisVic91 Perhaps interestingly one of my favourite beard styles is the Verdi Beard...It is a very sophisticated look and actually think this looks better without any under lip hair, your beard (from what I can see) Looks like a great version of this!
@@revfearolution i googled it, looks cool. I think Jason Momoas beard looks badass and he has very patchy cheeks and no underlip.
Thanks bro. Truth be told I shaved it off, gave into people making comments and also wanted to attract more women.
Turns out I'm just as fucking miserable with stubble as I am with a beard so might grow it back not sure ha.
I have some real patches. Like there are hairs growing along the jaw line and there is a 1 cm patch with no single hair before the chin starts. Like no connection and only on the right side. My sides are just thin strips of pubic hair anyway. There are also some smaller patches under my chin. Thank God I have a pretty decent moustache but yet...way behind you. I'm gonna try some suplements and see if I can grow some baby hair. I don't know what's so appealing about beards, but I wish I had one. I'm 29. My grandpa's had quite decent beard so chances are I still have time haha
Yeah, I think it maybe a time issue, I don't think my beard would have looked like it does now at 29years...grow what you can now, and if unhappy with this, revisit the beard growing 35-40years. A moustache with a little stubble (wherever it grows) is a strong look...one of my favourites (the beardstache). Might be something that you can pull off? Whatever the case, be patient if you can, if you're Grandpa had a decent beard, it is very possible yours will come over the next 10 years. Good luck ✌️
@@revfearolution Yeah yeah, kind of bartender look. I'll go for it. It's still quite unique accross the people and...I believe it suits me. After all some can't even grow that so I'm grateful. Anyway I've just ordered my biotin supplement. Might be I'm deficient. If not I'm just gonna wait till my late 30s and hopefully the pubics become a grown up beard one day. Thanks man and you've got a beautiful beard.
Awesome beard. I have similar growth patterns in my cheeks... I'm almost 2 months in. Did yours finally grow in a bit? Did it bug you that it was thin there?
Thanks Tyler. In all honesty it has never really bothered me having the thin cheeks and once you start bulking out and gaining mass under the chin and kneck region it really distracts from the cheeks...I would say you can afford to keep the cheek region short once the bulk of the beard comes in, but I would definitely only do this once you have seen what you have after the yeard. I thInk I have also made a few errors, trimming my sideburns too low which would have added coverage to the cheek area. I'm experimenting with growing the sideburns out a bit to see if this will make a difference...I think this could take a while and it is going through an annoying phase but it could be worth it.
Just remember you will scrutinize your beard more than anyone, so people in passing will only really see the bulk...try not to spend too much time noticing the weak areas and celebrate the whole...because it is the whole that makes your beard distinctly yours.
Good luck and let me know how things go!
REVfearOLUTION Thanks man. I will. I might go see a barber for a trim (no length) in a month at 3 month mark. Just to make sure it's all neat and maybe start shape.
The only trimming I did was the kneckline in that time frame (within the 3months range). This can really make things look tidy, but be selective with the Barber. Some love to hack at a beard (so my bearded brethren tell me). Make sure you clearly tell them about your goals...less is definitely more. As mentioned in the video I did trim the sides at about six months for a wedding. This was a good choice at the time and would consider this style in the future as part of a long term look but I have paid a little bit for it since (hence why I am now growing out the sideburns).
I think the key is learn as you go and don't beat yourself up if you make mistakes, the beard journey is a genuinely rewarding one if you relax and enjoy it. Peace out my bearded brother 😀
REVfearOLUTION Yeah I've only cut in neck and cheek lines so far. I'll be careful. Thanks for commenting. Cheers!
Your 6 months is my yeard lol dude you may have some patches on the sides but you have really awesome beard genetics alot of people can grow beards but not alot of people can grow long beards
Thanks bud, Though I think age has certainly helped...also I do think the biotin supplement I used sped up the process!
@@revfearolution hellyeah man. Either way i wish mine would grow that long.. do you think terminal beard length will extend with age? Bc im 24 now and it seems like once i get to where you are at 6 months it pretty much stops growing in length..
@@johndillinger348 You know that is a really excellent question...I have seen one places that suggest it does improve with age, but they are not from any objective sources. I guess you are in a superb position to test the theory! It would be really awesome (and a bit random) if you were to let me know in 10years time!!!!!.
Whatever the case, it still sounds like you have decent length, even if your Years is my 6months, and if I am honest, I my favourite length for me is my 6 months length! I really appreciate the messages, beard on brother!
Nice beard bro!
Thanks my friend...beards are a labour of love. Always nice when people offer positive comments (the nice comments also act as a counterbalance to the comments made by my wife and mum!!!!)
@@revfearolution Amen to that!
Awesome beard brother
Cheers dude...I'm going to create a collage of all the positive messages on here, so that when my wife or mum moans about I will just silently hold it up in thier faces!!! 😂
REVfearOLUTION that is priceless I'm on my third week of growing the beard back, been rocking the looong stash for the past few months. Like you said I miss the routine of the beard it's like making the bed but on your face! Haha God speed brother subbed with the bell look forward to more content from you! 🤙
Haha..."it's like making the bed but on your face" that analogy is genius! (I shall definitely use this in the future in general discourse, and will reference you of course)
Rather aptly, since creating my beard routine I have also started making the bed! All fun aside I do think there is something in these seemingly trivial routines, i think it is a way of sending a message to the brain (and inner most being) to create order!
I need this in my personal chaos...(I'm sounding a bit like Jordan Peterson methinks)
Thanks for the support Kyle, hopefully anything I post in the future will be worthy of it. Peace out Brother 👊🤝✊
Your beard is very likely mine, the cheek side is thinner than whole beard areas and mustache. I'm at my 2nd month and it's growing nicely, I don't trim it at all... Anyway thanks for this inspiring video...
You have a really positive attitude which is great...I'm sure you will stay determined. You will look awesome at 6months if things are going well at 2 months.
Wishing you all the best for your beard journey. Let me know how things progress!
Thanks for the kind Feedback 😀
Great beard. Very handsome.
Thanks very much...good luck with your Yeard, will look forward to checking on your progress!
You look cool i too grow my beard,if you can you tell me how long you grow your beard, Thank you, gary uk
Hey, usually about 6 month's growth before the next trim, and then I will trim it back to about 4 months growth
welcome to the beard on world looks great
Cheers bud...It is a great world to be in!
@@revfearolution amen
It helps to just grow your chin goatee for a few months before you let the rest of your beard grow , doing this will give your beard a great shape as it grows
This is a great tip...my chin goatee is the strongest part my beard...it essentially IS my beard... without it I would be seriously struggling! Thanks for the comment...
Hi man every morning i see more than 10 beard hair falls in it's normal or not 😢
I'm not sure my friend, but I lose quite a lot too, I notice it daily, particularly when I comb my beard...
@@revfearolution ok you don't notice that your beard 🤔 is get less
Thanks for video
Nice one Barry, thanks also for the comment my good sir...
Welcome been growing my beard 18 days and going to keep growing it thanks again for yours videos
@@barryllyon4350 That is fantastic news, set yourself mini goals...one month, perhaps 3 months, them six months, them perhaps the years! From your pic, you look like you have good coverage, so your beard will look awesome. Good luck Barry, let me know how you get on!
Ur beard is looking good man. Yeah it is little bit thinner on cheeks but also it seems you trimmed the cheeks, right?
That's exactly right, trying to grow out the sides now, give it that time to see how it grows. Thanks very much for the kind words
blonde hair blue eyes💪
...thinning blonde hair (that's what caps are for!) 😁
Thanks for the comment.
i also have a blonde beard, its really hard to figure out. Ive ended up shaving it off so many times
What is the longest you have grown the beard? How many months?
REVfearOLUTION about 2 months. Was thinking about trying minoxidil
@@dquaid666 I would honestly try to avoid Minoxidil if you can. I think you really have to wait at least 3-4 months to see what you have... Better still give it 4-6 months. You will be surprised how much growth happens at this time frame.
Also If you are struggling with the cheek area, try not to worry. Most growth comes from under the chin/neck area.... Do not shave any of this and you may be surprised what you have at 4 months.... One of the best celebrity examples is Leonardo Dicaprio... Check out his beard pictures... Virtually no beard on the cheeks, but I think he has a great beard.
@@dquaid666 oh and checked out your TH-cam channel... Great talent... Nice voice and some great original songs (including covers)
REVfearOLUTION thanks. I’ll give it another try. It just doesn’t look as thick in the early stages as dark hair
mine is even , and not patchy at all, I usually have some sort of facial hair. Don't really like being clean shaven. Have a beard on and off. First couldn't grow one until over 30.
Excellent to hear.. may the beard force be with you forever more ☄️
@@revfearolution yours looks pretty good. If you hadn't mentioned the patchy ness I wouldn't have known. Will get mine longer, the next door neigbour doesn't like it,yours has really filled in below the bottom lip, I wonder if mine will. I said that I would trim it right down when all these ongoing pestilence restrictions have finished,that don't seem to apply to the m.ps. I usually have facial hair and a beard on and off. Took it right down to the skin a few months ago and didn't like it. Not done that for years, So trimming it back to long stubble when this ongoing crap has finised you can't say fairer than that. Not trying to get off with her. She is married and 17 years older than me. I think she hates beards. Mine is about 4-5 weeks from a no 0. Makes a change you being English. This ongoing pestilence plague is going from bad to worse, really fed up of it.
I Like the term pestilence! Im surprised I haven't heard it more frequently over the past year! Others have said my beard isn't patchy, but I notice the variations in thickness on the different areas of my face...so it is probably all a bit relative. I was wondering, what is the longest that you have grown your beard?
@@revfearolution yes I use the word a lot to describe this plague from china. I can't put Chine disease because you tube take it off. Yes re my image a few days ago 22 dec. slightly longer now about an inch roughly may be a bit longer. Longest I have ever had it. Girl friend didn't like it too long. But she sadly died on feb 14th about 3 weeks before this ongoing disease kicked in. From your accent you sound like you are in the uk. Also with every where shut can't socialize or anything. So may as well let beard get longer.

Picture at 13:26 is brilliant, your beard in it is quite literally my beard goal!
Cheers Tom, I was thinking that pic is a wee bit dramatic (who doesn't love a bit of drama?), I do however also think it shows that photo editing was meant for beards!!! If I recall, that pic was taken just after the 6 month mark. I will probably settle at this length long term.
Where are you at currently in your beard growing? Are you going for the yeard?
Cheers for the positive message, and good luck at reaching your goal!
REVfearOLUTION REVfearOLUTION my beard growing is in the early stages ie the ‘awkward stage’ of about 3 weeks. I am thinking about going for the yeard however I feel that mine is still to patchy as I am only 18 but its encouraging to know that that beard style can be achieved in about six months, even if I have to wait a few more years for my beard to develop fully. Keep up your videos as it was brilliant and gave an actual insight into what it is like to grow a yeard and what it does for your mind.
Tom Martin Impressive to give it a go at 18. I wouldn't have had the confidence then so kudos to you...those early weeks/months are tough, but 4-6months will give you an idea of what you have. The Verdi style (check out the beard brand website) could be a good starter beard, particularly if your moustache is reasonable...I wish I had explored this more when I was younger!
What made you decide to grow a beard out of interest?
REVfearOLUTION Cool, I’ll check them out. I have always liked the idea of having a beard and others in my family have them so I thought hey why not if it doesn’t work then I’ll get rid of it but if it is full enough then I will keep it.
the key is to let it grow....
Exactly...akin to Disney's 'Frozen'
Nice beard
Cheers mate, have an awesome holiday period.

@@revfearolution also sorry to hear about your depression, i suffer from that too-not easy, hang in there tight man. utilise light hearted things that don't require heavy cognition, works for me
Thanks Neon, 6 months is a great period of time! I definitely think the first 6 months is the hardest...so nice one. Are you going for the Yeard?
Thanks for this, and sorry to hear about your own battles! Good advice...I'm hopefully coming through the worst of it. Thanks for the messages...and keep ne updated on your progress...
Hella beard!!!!
clinton Rodgers Cheers dude...you look like you have a nice beard yourself...you would probably put mine to shame if you ever let that beard grow right out! Let me know if you ever do...
REVfearOLUTION actually letting it out now only 2 weeks in though never had before I'll send you pictures maybe you can give me some pointers thank you kind sir!
That's awesome to hear...now that I have a beard, i have become genuinely interested in other peoples Journey. It would be great to get your updates. I would be more than happy to give any advice or support you need. Good luck!
REVfearOLUTION awesome thanks!!!!
Man thats no patchy beard?
No trimming, just grow it out, keep it clean, it's Mans divine & natural badge & trademark.
Nicely put!
🧔🏽💥🤙🏼
You look like Robert Patrick the terminator guy
That's one of the better lookalikes that I have had in my life! I have had some seriously bad ones...mostly UK based Z list Celebrities in the early 2000's...
Extremely patchy beard 😰
I think Leonardo DiCaprio highlights that patchy shouldn't hold anyone back...he doesn't look like he is able to grow anything on the cheeks, but really does "grow what you got" and I love his beard...
