Not one of my friends or work colleges have commented on my 2 month beard so I gather they don't like it...guess what!....I'm not growing the Beard for them! I'm growing it for ME!
Thank you, George, this is an epic share. Found you much later than I would have liked; many failed beards; longest growth was 5 months and you've addressed everything I ever confronted and wondered about, but when you went to the jailtime 'thing', as amazing as all the other vids are, you took me to another level. Just started my first yeard and it's on my bucket list to make a year or two and get together with you, in the chair, for your magic and love, as I meet and dance my last years. Thank, m'friend.
I subscribed for the beard info but stuck around for the honest rants. kudos George.
I have had a long beard for over 30 years and have learned more on proper care with your videos than any barber I have gone to.
As far as women and beards,the longer the beard the fewer the women that like it. Too masculine for many to deal with.
I'm married and she ain't crazy about it but accepts it. My advice find a hippie chick.
Bro, well said. Let it grow. I made my first mistake at 3 months. I decided to go in for maint trim suggested by beardbrand. Never again. I’m letting it grow. Focusing on beard care. Let the natural beauty come out.
I honestly think every guy should grow a beard once in their life. Because it's life changing and for me personally it's helped me not care about what other people think. Some people have that already dialed in and my hats off to them. I had no idea how thick and full my beard abilities were and how it has been a great conversation piece. I've been following you through my journey and started with your beard videos and as you involved you videos so did my outlook on life and my beard. Thank you George for all your advice across the board and for helping me to simply love myself and learn patience and grow as a man. 👊
Craig Fletcher Well said. Thank you.
I'm a tattooed, Harley-riding church pastor who has been growing out my beard and hair for 17 months (one very slight trim at 1 year). My beard is just shy of 12 inches long. I look a lot more like John the Baptist than Joel Osteen. Some of the folks in my congregation do not approve of my appearance, but most of them have gotten used to it. The longer my beard and hair gets, the more I feel like I look the way a natural man is supposed to look. I am way past the point of worrying about what society views as an "acceptable appearance" for a man of God. I am not growing my beard to please anyone else. I'm growing it because I like it. Have another cup of coffee and go ride your motorcycle! Wind therapy is good for your soul!
Where do you preach? Sound like a church I want to be a part of!
Jesus SAVES, he doesn't SHAVE. :)

Just described me...except to throw in being a lover of 70's Rock. 25 years as a Pastor and I have gotten more flack over letting my beard grow than riding a Harley or getting tattoos. Haters gonna hate...we gotta love (even when it's hard as h@%*)...ride safe and let it grow. speakhope619 - anchor-of-hope.org
I've taken all your advice since I first subbed at only a couple thousand subs. I was very obsessive the first time around, trimmed way too much. I shaved in July last year and started over in January. I've taken all your advice for my beard this time around. Haven't trimmed it once. And even though it's only been about 3ish months, already I can see it looks SO MUCH better than the first time around.
Exactly. I trimmed WAAAAAAY too much early on. Hitting the reset button is good thing to do sometimes. Peace.
Excellent video, it's great to hear you talk openly and candid. I couldn't have imagined the journey my beard growth has taken me, the changes to my life over the 14 months has had ups and downs. I found getting involved with a beard club was great for my social life, like minded people and the females I've met that enjoy the beard culture, it's been great support.
Thanks for your videos and advice, you've always helped to keep me motivated
I needed this video man thanks so much. I'm only over a month in and have been binging videos and groups etc. Gonna take your advice and enjoy the whole process without obsessing like I am everyday. Love your content and advice. Hope youre having a good one today. ✌️
I'm just over 4 months on my first beard and was at a crossroads with it, having not trimmed it except for straightening the neckline. Then Bruno worked his magic on it and I am back in love with it and more importantly so is my wife. I get compliments from people who haven't seen me with it before. Do what you want to do, ignore haters and ignorance.
Great video! Thank you, George. I am also trying to make it to a year and am now in my seventh month, if I have any doubts then I go to YT and watch some videos and that gives me courage to continue, so you are a big help in my journey to a YEARD. Thanks so much for all your great videos.
LET IT GROW AND LET IT FLOW
I love your content it's honest and straight to the point. I have been growing my beard confidently for 6 months now because of your wisdom with no bs just conditioner, oils and time so thank you so much 👌
Great video George. As a younger guy with a similar personality, I really appreciate the insight.
You're a handsome, rugged rascal with a great laugh and smile. You obviously have lots of world experience and definitely care about others. Not everyone can grow or have the patience to grow a beard like yours, but you certainly wear it well. One of the things I admire most about you is that you make the beard, the beard doesn't make you. You could be clean shaven and still be an influence to others.
Yes, I love my coffee .... and I have to get one of those Grumpy mugs for my collection.
Best wishes to you and all your loved ones.
Yours is a majestic beard, George! It grieved me to go back to a goatee, but for now, I'm enjoying the variety of double edge blades, the Merkur 34C, the Edwin Jagger, all the different shaving soaps and after shaves, and the welcoming embrace of wife and daughter.
Your advice about prison "ministry", in any way, shape or form is priceless and blesses you as much as those you visit.
As far as coffee drinking, I'm currently enjoying DeathWish Coffee!
Thanks for continuing to share your life wisdom! Have a good one!
Just want to say thank you George Bruno. You are such a light of wisdom and knowledge not just about beards but life itself.
You are a king, not a servant. Subdue the earth!
How badass is this man. i thought about shaving my 6 month beard. After this we're going for a year. thank you sir. As for the poon the right lady will come around. Regards, Pablo from Cali
Hey George, I understand the dilemma that comes with the decision to shave or not to shave especially after so much time and effort. I ended up shaving my 8 month beard back in November but have recently started the journey again as of March 1st. Now I was only at 8 months, where you are now at month 20! So I understand the dedication and commitment that you've put into your journey. You made the yeard, your first goal along with reaching the 3rd button and then looked forward to the tweard (is that what it's called lul) and letting it grow and letting it flow. So as I see it, you can either continue growing for the next 4 months and reach the 2 year mark, or shave and start all over from scratch and this time resist the urge to trim. I love your beard and respect your knowledge of beard care but as much as I love the beard, I would also love to see you shave and begin the journey again and this time you'd have 20,000 others right along with you! Whatever you decide, I will cotinue to come and share in the experience. Cheers!
I’m 50yrs old and this is my first beard. I never tried until almost two years ago the wife gave recommendation. It’s been prob about 20 months now and my beard isn’t near the length of yours. I have trimmed the sides up but always had goal for length. I have learned so much from your videos your right you just have to go for it. My biggest regret in this journey is the trimming but like you say if I could hit the reset button. You can’t. And you don’t want to start all over so what do you do??
A pleasure watching your videos as always George.peace
the best thing I ever did was start using my left over beard oil to run through my hair, no more gooey products I don't need. ive learned more in the last year of beard care than the first three years of not taking care of it. (thinking it would grow itself out)
Month 4, so glad I haven't trimmed it at all yet. Has your moustache stopped growing? I'm planning not to trim mine at all and just hoping I can train it sideways to go around my mouth to minimise eating/kissing problems. Thanks for the videos, I like to listen to them while resting my eyes and just let your wisdom seep into my inner beard brain
Im Blowin away!! What sound advice!!! Im 51yr and growing my beard for the first time ever. Some people comment most dont. I never did care for what people think its my life and my journey. Im on month 3 and as time goes on its lookin better and better. The women love it. I think its because facial hair is the true mark of a man. Todays guys like to look the part but cant play the role. Thanks for all your advice George its helped me alot. Funny story for you. I was just wondering when do I trim this thing what do I do? I come across 1 of your videos.Your main theme was let it grow let it flow,and focus on beard care. It saved me thanks again!!
I'm not a bad looking guy at 52 really, luckily attracting the ladies was never a problem for me but I noticed now that I've grown a beard I'm getting more looks. I've also noticed that men seem to be more friendly with a head nod or hello...So strange how are image makes for different reactions in people.
Yes. Shorter beards are so common now, the hot ladies are becoming more attracted to the longer epic beards.
@@donmatt2234 And the " dad bod". If you have 6 pack abs,they are afraid you'll get more attention than them. So, put on weight, get a beer gut,grow a beard as long as George's in this video,and before long you'll be sleeping with the women you see in playboy!!🤣
Great vid again George! Remember: The purpose of the beard is freedom. If yours has become a self made prison then take your own advice and "let it go". I don't give advice because who am I but just make sure you don't do anything you'll regret... ;)
Peace with you always
I'm not sure if this would work on straight hair types too. But I've started using honey as a wash out conditioner. And then I use cold pressed organic coconut oil for hydration and leave in conditioning. Works a lot better and is more natural and cheaper than all of these commercial products. Give it a try
Ive done it and it works great!!!
The longest I ever grew a beard was three months due to the fact I hate shaving and maybe only shave once a month anyway. But after stumbling across one of your videos I decided to try do your yeard challange. In my second month now, one month less than my longest run. However while I have no desire to shave it and am confident I can go a year, I am constantly obsessing about my beard this time round because I know I'm in for a year. It used to be just grow a beard and shave whenever I get round to it but now I'm constantly checking it, looking in the mirror for growth or patches. So maybe it is the knowing and trying to grow a beard that makes us obsess instead of just letting it do its thing and forgetting it there. Because before I decided to do a yeard, I just didnt think of shaving for a few months and forgot about my facial hair. But the yeard is making me obsess
I did the whole let it go and let it grow with my hair. I let my hair go untouched except for washing for a whole year. essentially letting my hair dread. the whole process is very similar to growing a beard. it changes you... and how people see you or fail to see you. it makes you realize how superficial we can be as a society. love your channel.
Thank you ! Great information even from someone going on a 11 year divorce! Real Class you have going on!
Soooo true well said brother!
I loved the way your rubbed Ur forehead with 1 finger at a certain time 😂😂😂 love the beard I'm trying first time aged 56 reckon it'll be look similar to yours bro in 8 months time keep it going 😀
never fear Alvin is here, George great talking points bud I feel like I obsess over my beard it's getting longer and s curving like crazy drives me nuts but I will just let it grow and let it flow take care bud, Alvin
Hold on to that glorious beard, George! But if you've set your mind to making a change, don't trim less than 6 months of growth. Your 6-month beard photos rocked.
Growing my beard out now, loving the experience. Thanks for helping me with the journey.
I'm so lost as to how your beard is so long after a year and a half lol. I'm at 7 inches in 2 years... what the heck am I doing wrong?? I don't trim, I co wash 5-6 days, use good natural products, don't over comb or brush, healthy life style.... what am I missing man lol
Genetics.
Or maybe your beard is curly like mine
I have been growing mine for man at least a year and half now and I don’t have near rhe beard you do. Do you think I could send you few pics and you recommend what I should tell the barber to get it fixed up
good morning to you too! :-)
wisest beard advice ive ever heard
Great video. You continue to inspire me.
Would you be able to share what growth vitamins you took? I'm doing the yeard with a couple of friends. We're at about the 6 month mark and I'm ahead of them by a little over an inch so far. I know a lot of men with great beards like yours don't share their secrets but I sure hope you can pass it on. Love your videos and keep up the good work brother!
12:20 LET IT GO , LET IT FLOW! 🌬
I said when I hit 6 months in that I would go and get a shape up. I'm now at 6 months and I'm glad I saw this video, I think I will postpone it until my yeard is complete. However, my stache is really bugging me when eating, mostly things like burgers or subs (love Subway!).
Any tips, besides cutting up my sandwiches, to avoid eating my mustache? haha
Love you man, love your videos!
So somehow I missed this one years ago. Did you ever give that beard vitamin growth trick away?? I sure don't recall it. Loads of your old videos are popping up on my fyp btw. Guess thats good news Sultan maybe your monetization is coming back some?
George, love the insight. When you described your personality, I'm the same as you. And will admit beard obsession is on my side, haha. thanks for the truth, peace and God bless.....
Don't do it George.
because of my employment, I have to keep things tidy, i.e. light trimming. "Do you like coffee ?", yes very much, the hotter & blacker the better
Started my yeard December 1st looking forward to journey
It’s true that having a beard is more masculine. But guys think beards are way more cool than girls do unfortunately.
I generally hear negative feed back about my 11 monther.
But on the other hand about half a dozen dudes I work with have started growing.
So that must mean something.
Advice. Don’t trim the sides. I did for the first 6 months and now wish I hadn’t.
If you leave it the sides will eventually lay down the way you want it to. And the shape will look way more natural.
You have encouraged me to start my yeard.
The beard looks great. Nice and full. Great color. Keep it going.
I just trim mustache but let the rest of it go
Just saying if you decide to shave it just give it a dye first and see what happens
It seems to me that you are telling to yourself: let It grow and... The thing is that We want to be good, happy, healthy, etc. so if We are not there, maybe, It would be a nice idea to do something to be there no mattle people don't like It because It is for us. Thank you for your reflections. Have a Nice day.
Nice... Beards and jail advice. Great content mr sultan
I hate that I have to use pomade, but I'm a chef and I have to keep it netted. my boss is cool enough to let me keep it, so I must abide
I live in s. w. florida and can't seem to find a good shop that does beard and hair care, wish some of you guys on u tube would set up shop down here 👍.
Sometimes I just need a dad talk from George.
I grew one for a year without touching it. Had it long for a couple years. It gets annoying. Just cut it down to less than a inch from my chin. I ride motorcycles and i dont like riding with a huge beard. Ill grow it back out when im older.
Seeing this beard makes me want to curl your beard in little ringlets like Santa! 😂
I chopped my beard off last year because I found that people were becoming incredibly hostile towards me. Seriously, everyone started giving me a major attitude. I was growing it for 10 months, it was approx 9" long.
This time I'm just going to deal with the 'tude. I've been growing it out for 8 months now but interestingly, it's only about 5 1/2". I've been dieting lately and I think that might be stunting my growth, we'll see come the next few months because last time those last couple months were turbo-beard (probably just the curve going out).
+Joshua Perry A 10 month beard is no joke. That's serious beardage but I hear ya on the tude thing
I get plenty of "wisdom" impressions too, but I think individuals who grow a sage beard were already apt to be sage-like. For me, people had always asked for my opinions or advice on a subject. The Sultan here, for example, was predisposed to shelling out commentary long before he decided to grow out a beard that is associated with understanding - having or not having the beard was/is only a representation of the individual's natural tendencies.
Simply put; you don't grow a wizard beard without first being a wizard.
I need hair! The more thee merrier. More is better. More is now. I’m looking forward as to what life has in-store for me. Let it go and grow.
A couple things...
Beards- I don't care whether a guy has a beard or not.. but if it's a sad scraggly patchy thing, just don't. If it's thick, do what you want. Met a guy at the beginning of the Covid pandemic (April 2020) who happened to have a "freedom beard"- he'd retired from the army about 6 months prior to us meeting. I've seen pix of when he was in the service, clean-shaven, and I think he was gorgeous! Sure, I enjoy the beard, but with or without it, my feelings for him are about him.. not the beard.
Jail/prison- I was with a man once who had a warrant for things that happened before we got together. He eventually got picked up, spent 3 months in jail, over the holidays, no less! I visited him twice a week (the maximum allowed) the entire time. You say they never forget. Eh, I think that some people do forget. They're wired different from the rest of us, and time spent locked up is not spent getting their head straight, learning the skills and habits needed to not go back. It's just marking time until they can get out and do what they want again. He forgot.... and I found out the things he was doing, and left. He didn't handle it well, ended up having to spend more time in "grown-up time-out."... and I haven't looked back. I kinda regret giving him a chance, investing in him... but I'm not. I wouldn't appreciated my bearded darling as much as I do if it hadn't been for the guy before.
Just a quick question, I have a curly beard. Will it straighten out? Should I try the hair dryer bit? Thanks Man!
nhoj johnson I advocate experimenting with different styles and styling methods
Word!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽✌🏽🙏🏽
"as far as pooping...that's cool" hahaha
I would really enjoy seeing you shave the beard George. Don't get me wrong, I love it - but I want to see it grown from scratch! Without trimming the sides or boxing the underneath. It would also be good to see your journey from clean shaven guy to big beard guy.
If you do it I will do it!
Jake
You've hit the 18month mark so I think it's time to chop it. You already have chopped 3/4 inches off it and you have reached the goal of 3rd button. Time to start a new journey George. Jake x
man i would love to get a haircut by you, my hair reaches down to half of my back and im getting small temples but i want short hair again. unfortunately i live in germany and im kinda scared about going to a random barber to get mky hair and beard cut.
George , I have a 9 inch long White beard this time going on 10 years and i'm pass the negative comments. From some . My Wife & I love letting it Grow and Flow !
:{}}}}}}}}}}>
Gary you sound like Elsa from frozen: LET IT GO! LET IT GROW! LOL
I had a goatee kinda long...been 4 months...should I trim my chin whiskers down to let the sides catch up...I know you say let it grow...ha..thanks
When I was almost 400lbs... that bathroom problem you referred to was called DickieDo Disease... it's a condition in which you belly sticks out further than your DickieDo... lmao
Gray Bailey, love your videos. I'm hitting a yeard in a week. What pills are you taking for the beard?
Christopher Ortiz he keeps saying he'll never tell. But we'll see... ;)
Drew we'll get it out of him eventually lol.
Happy 420...
+Gary Moore ...and also with you! Lol.
I have really flakey skin. After a few months, I just can't take it. Any advice?
my facial hair grows faster than an idea: In 9 months my beard was about 14inches and the moustache was about 5 inches. I chopped it all off, save for about an inch worth of mutton chop.
The moment you start trying to make things symmetrical, the less they are. Just remember: Asymmetry is like Waldo: it's hard as Hell to find when there's a shit-load of other things on the page. Grow the beard out; it'll sort itself.
So well said. Thaink you for your contirbution
Will this stuff you put on your beard also help hair on my head grow long?
Better camera angle, better beard, better talks. No gross infuriating swallow noises. go back to this format, please, and we'll follow you forever!
time to change it up g0 for the wide long goatee 0r short boxy beard
Been there, done that.
What vitamin do you use for the beard?
It's like I've said to you before. Do what's right for you deep down in your gut. Only you know what you want not everyone else. 😄 Just saying.
What about nick line and cheek.
Don't touch either one
100%.
To me, if a woman doesn't like me because of my beard then she isn't worth being with any way, down the road what else is she not going to like about me, like me for who i am 👍🇺🇸.
What is the product you use to make the sides of your beard weighed down
Blow dryer
Out of all my friends and family I’m the only one who grows a nice thick beard. I keep telling them to let it grow and don’t trim it. But they crack by a month lol
I'm a 29 year old that wishes he can have even a fraction of the beard that you have. I'm trying minoxidil to try and grow one out with no progress so far. iv got too much native American blood in me to grow a beard or goatee.. Btw I thing you are one of the happiest MGTOW guys out there. a lot of what you say reminds me of MGTOW.
I have a medium long beard 😉 and I know sometimes It annoys the heck out of me.... but to proud to shave it off. whaha
I hear ya man
@GrayBailey. And i Really like the beard. If work allowed me i would have a yeard😉 im thinking of starting my own beard supply store. But where i live beards are not Really a thing.. Do you have any tips/ideas in that george? I'm curious what your coffee News is. Big time coffee drinker👊🏻😉
George I think you really want to start over again by shaving the beard off but maybe afraid too. Your beard is awesome but maybe you should, I think your getting bored of it🤔 I've been thinking about it but I am afraid that all my beard oil and balms will expire and I've spend some good money on
+herse83 Possibly.
Shave the beard. Ain't happening... first women take a man's moonshine, then his beard? What next? Hehehe
Beards get respect.....but not dates.
Omg the funniest thing ever . hes gonna swing by jail and see if his friend can have some beard oil hahaha. Ive obsessed over my beard for 2 years shaved it twice and started over. I went to jail for 5 months one time iver a DUI and couldn't have anything for my beard. And finally got a cocoa butter stick tongrind up and mix with water in a shampoo bottle haha its all I could get. I even thought about gett8a kitchen worker to get me some kinda oil from the kitchen haha.
I miss you with without your big beard bother please don't shave anymore. You look better with a beard
i'll stop trimming my beard from now on. it can't be that hard
So how is it going?
Well , how is it going ????
How is it going?
What an amazing video this was. If I have the chance to grab some cherry tobacco and my Chris Morgan pipe and hang out with you for one day I could die happy man! Lol
9:18 Amen
send your guy in prison my blessings! I send him hope!
Love the beard
yes. yes. yes, go visit someone in jail. absolutely
You keep saying your are getting older . maybe try dying it and maybe it'll make you look younger and it'll be a change and you and the women might like it and you won't think of shaving it anymore cause women dontblike it as much
