I’m trying to grow the Kratos beard and I’m definitely scared to trim it myself. I always end up shaving too much off. I’m 100% going to a barber and showing them the video
Mental health is so important these days. Good to know that there are so many kind people around. Take care and keep going! Greetings from Tirol/Austria
Thank you very, very much for those DIY videos. They are really teaching me to keep my beard as I like, particularly this one. Worth mentioning, the "mind blown moment" on the other video and this one where you lean the head back to produce a straight line on the lower part... I still feel dumb for not knowing this earlier, and thankful for being taught on your videos! Keep up the awesome work!
I thought the same thing when i heard it. I said to myself, it couldn't be that simple. Sure enough, i tried it..... shame fell upon my house that day lol.
I have only had bad experiences with barbers 3 by 3 they took off almost 6 months worth of length off cuz they couldn't handle my beard. So i stoped going to barbers for years. Seeing your dedication to the craft it's giving me hope that there might be a local barber that can deal with my beard. Great content. Keep it coming.
Likewise, been to 3 different barbers locally each time ive shown pictures and said very clearly not to touch the length outside of trimming strays, every time i lost months of growth.. So here i am, DIY time!
I love Kratos and God of War but the anatomy was my favorite part of the video. It helped tremendously in debating what I'd like to do with my yeard later, my original goal was the Kratos/Ducktail but I am starting to think round/The Boss style. This made me realize I need to research more on full beard styles and beard anatomy. Luckily, I'm only on my 3rd month of the yeard and have plenty of time. Thanks Matty! Incredible video, you slayed the Kratos again.
@@mattyconradgrooming You're welcome! The info graphic was very useful. Very cool guide. I personally would be interested in more nerdy/scientific videos!
I’ve been hairstyling since 1994, but barbering is a whole other craft! You’ve got some mad talent and a great teaching flow. Now I can trim my Hubb’s handsome beard, thanks a bunch!
Late to the party my friend, I apologize for not somehow finding your channel sooner; I’ve been cutting my own hair since marrying my beautiful wife twelve years ago. However I haven’t quite had the patience to grow out my beard to the point where I could shape it and have fun with it. I love what you’ve done here, it kind of reinforces some ideals that I’ve come to know by clipping my head and made me confident that I can do my beard too after another month or two of growth. I use very similar products to fade and outline my own head and the use of the word “flyaway”, I knew immediately what you meant by that and I’d been hesitant to cut those until now. Thanks brother.
Thank very much man, after visiting your channel i started growing my beard at the age of 17 (now 18) it is a small beard but thank you very much you gave me the confidence to grow my beard keep doing the good work .
Great video! I was finally able to give this a try tonight and I think it turned out very nice. A few “oops” moments so ended up being a little shorter than I wanted, but now I can grow it out and continue the shape maintenance over time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill with the rest of us!
Looks Great. After your last video I loved the beard so much I had my barber do mine like a Kratos beard for my father daughter dance. Thanks for this DIY video, it gives me some tips on how to keep the beard shape on my own. Thank you.
I am watching these videos for my fiance since he is growing his beard for the first time after I told him how attractive he looks. Thanks for all the tips!
Dude! You are an amazing barber. How could anyone justify leaving a negative comment on your channel. I use a lot of the techniques from your videos for my beard. Keep doing your thing.
Lol at 13:50 I feel like there's not a human anywhere that can seemlessly switch to their less dominant hand while trimming and maintaining the correct angle whilst looking in a mirror and accounting for the the fact that it's a reverse image and all of your movements need to be opposite of what feels natural, whilst using your less dominant hand to trim the thing that literally everyone sees every day. What's more fun is adding a second mirror when tryna trim the blind spots! Kudos to you Mattie! You make it look so easy! Love your videos brother! Keep up the great work!
Hey, Matty! I highly recommend you invest in a dedicated microphone (if you're not using one already) and a pop filter. The pop filter will shield the microphone from those sudden bursts of air that you can shoot into it when speaking out plosive consonants ( like "p" in the word "pick" at 8:33 ), making your voice-over narrations leveled out and even.
Matty's videos never disappoints. 🔥 I've learned a lot from your videos and over the past couple of months I feel very confident to shave my beard myself. Thank you very much.
1 minute 21 seconds in and already loved it, there's something relaxing, interesting and easily understandable even for someone like me so just want to say a big thank you 😊
I'm new to beards and I'm trying to learn. I've always had jobs that require a clean shaven face. I retired at 46 and am now going to grow a beard. I've got about 2 months of growth and I'm looking to shape it for the first time. So far I've learned what not to do on the different angles to make my head look funny. I just ordered some tools and will be shaping next weekend. Thanks for the video assistance.
Hello I found out that if you use a second hand for free hand technique you won’t cut in the beard so often making it easier to do your beard. Can you please like this for the love of beard ? So that more people don’t ruin their beards by cutting into them.
Great video, and thank you for showing us the DIY version! I've been growing my beard out about 7 months now and might try an experimental shorter ducktail.
My dude and fellow Canadian! I stumbled upon your channel just now and love this vid! Just this past year I've decided (with a lot of encouragement from my wife) to grow out my beard. But I've always gone to my hairdresser to let her trim it up. Mostly because I don't trust myself to do a good job. But with this instructional vid for one of my favorite types of style, methinks I'll try my hand at this and save me some cash! Thank you very much and I'll be sure to check out your other videos too.
Is it just me or is his jawline somewhat shining through from 20:00 onwards? I think that is the tricky part of that style it isn't just a triangle pointing downwards but also somewhat forwards. Which is probably easier done in the computer than with real hair (without applying excessive products)
Love it! I never expected to smile trough whole video about beard trimming. That is simply amazing. 👌😂 U really nailed that „LACK OF INFORMATION” Thank for filling that void!
Now i'm here thinking about: 1. Kratos spending hours to groom his beard so it looks nice and tidy and 2. The sheer skill he has in doing all that without the proper tools and products lol Awesome video btw, will definitely try this out when mine grows a little longer
Absolutely rad. Thank you for this perspective, Matty! The square style already looked great on you, your sacrifice is not lost on us. Thank you. I appreciated the nerd time, and I'm here for more! Great editing as always.
This is the first time in my life I have decided to grow my bear out for more than one month (November) I have discovered Beard Oil and Beard Butter, thank GOD!!! I've subbed thank you for the great content!
I am here to learn how to trim my husband’s beard better. He is growing it out, he is my handsome guy😍 Thank you so much for doing this video, it is so helpful and easy to understand.
you've just earned yourself a sub!!! I am fairly new to a beard about 18 months and it costs a fortune at the barbers to get it looking fly. I have took the step of getting a beard trimmer with guard and taking it down but I don't think I could ever fade it or have the confidence to do it. Having said this your video has given me more confidence not to be afraid and go at it. Excellent video, thanks :)
Excellent video as usual. My question is that my beard starts growing downwards on the left side of my face, however, on the right side, it grows to the right, 90 degrees, how do I change the follicle direction?
My suggestion is getting a makeup mirror. It's lighted for better visibility and it's got 3 mirrors. One for face on and one for each side of your face.
Sir, I'm so glad I found your channel. I am growing my beard out for the first time in my 50s and have no idea how to shape it. I have no idea who "Kratos" is, but I love the content!
I recently hacked about 8 inches off my beard, I used to use beard rings and left if alone mostly, no trimming, shaving for about 20 years. I'm now Learning to start over, I'm thinking about this style as mine looks very blocky, and kind of starts to split in two down the middle. I use scissors, not sure I'd like to risk the clippers. But hey it will grow back, eventually. Great content, subbed.
Hey John.. I don’t really subscribe to the whole alpha beta thing but I appreciate the sentiment. Thanks for watching snd I really appreciate the support.
This took some courage to try at home going from a square shape to a triangle and having never touched the shelf myself - but it turned out great! Possibly the best beard trim I’ve had and certainly the cheapest haha. I feel like after a week I already want to touch it up tho - does that sound about right? It seems like a different animal just keeping it neat vs a major transition - perhaps a video on general maintenance for those that would prefer to do it once a week to keep it in check rather than wait a month for it to get unruly and then do an overhaul. I am also bald so for me I find i need to touch up my sideburns to fade to bald even after a few days (I shave my head every day) which in turn be throwing off the rest of it as it isn’t all growing in unison
I have a very week chin and my beard likes to curl. Can you point me in a way on your channel or diy on how to make the curls stop and maintain the a stringer looking chin
I'm having a hard time to understand the angle. When you do a square beard...you cut a straight line on the shelf, as you called it, with the head slightly up. From the front to the neck and you don't really touch the sides. When you want it to be pointy...you do the same thing but instead of a straight line from front to neck it's more like...from front to back but \_/ right? At 9:10 do you punch outside of the beard and straight to neck creating a flat angled shelf? Sorry if it is not clear. I'm French Canadian so English is secondary language.
I tried on mine but ended up so short because I kept messing the bottom part. I felt like the outside of the beard was always shorter the bulk...making me look fatter. Every time I cut it feels that the under him is chubby since it seems to be like this. Front √ back (seen from the side) so it goes short...long...the. Angled up. I've heard that you are Canadian...do you have any salons in Montreal where you meet fans for quick live tutorials? I would gladly get a beard trim to understand what the F I'm doing wrong XD Anyways great content :)
How long does it take to achieve this look? I currently have a clean trim, 3 clip so it’s close. Would you say 3 months? Also, there’s always the awkward stage of growing out the beard where it doesn’t look good. Any tips to surpass this stage would be appreciated. Thanks.
Just subbed you because I love your videos and I am starting a beard for the 1st time I’m a 45 year old burly hefty bro that benefits for knowledge in beards to apply wisdom to my own. I’m only 3 weeks in however I’ve “tested the waters” over the years and had a “Kurt cobain” look for 10 years(2012-2022) went clean shaven until mid December but really seriously on New Years and so I say “New Years 2025” is my “my heart into growing a beard” commitment. Keep me updated.
Great, detailed video!!! I tend to always over-trim now that I’m growing out a bigger beard. I’m too used to my Boy Band skinny chinstrap beard I had for over a decade. 🤣
I just did the Kratos trim at home and it looks great, too bad you cant post pics in comments but i want to say thank you, i went from a hobo to a god of war thanks to you😊
Im still having trouble wrapping my head around how to create the soft point at the front. There's nothing wrong with the video or the way you explain it, but I just can't get it it in my head. Also, I wonder if this a good choice of beard for me cause right now it's very naturally wavey so Im wondering how it will look when the hairs turn back to theri default shape
Just came across your channel and I'm a bigger guy with a round face. What is a good beard style that would help my face shape? Also I have very curly beard hair and when I tried to straighten it it looks terrible
I really love your videos and these DIY videos are nice. However, I’ve tried going many places and can never seem to find a barber that can handle longer beards. Do you have any suggestions on how to interview potential barbers to see if they actually know what they are doing? I’ve had too many ruined beards that I’ve spent countless hours at home fixing instead of receiving an experience better than myself.
Mr Conrad, I have been trying to grow my beard out for some time. When I first started, it didn't look too terrible. However, lately I can't seem to get much, if any, of a good thick beard in my opinion. I NEED HELP!!!! Any ideas or pointers, any advise at all would be greatly appreciated sir! Thanks in advance! Brian
What can i do when my beard is long and the tips are starting to curl outwards. Its so frustrating for me to keep it long so i just resort to cutting it short again. I am asking this as i want to try to grow my beard aslong as yours. Also my moustache curls into my mouth what tips can you give. Do you have a video i haven't seen that can help. Thanks again i find your videos interesting and keep up the amazing work your doing to help us
Wait….can I ask do you really like the beardscape machine?….I heard your older video you said it was average and good for the price…curious why you don’t use your higher quality machines?
I use a lot of different machines! You’ll notice. I still used my professional trimmer to outline. But overall the Beardscape isn’t bad at all. I use it at home quite often.
My beard is as thick as yours but i don't have any sideburns. its essentially a giant ghoatee. Do you have any tutorials planned for this kind of growth? love the channel by the way!
Thanks for all the tips you give us. I'm new to your channel and I've watched some great videos. I plan to purchase a set of your victory barber and beard brand supplies for myself, now for my question. I've seen you describe how to trim a fine or light mustache. How would one go about getting a more fuller and defined mustache from a fine one? I've always envied how good another beard style looks with a more full mustache, help lol.
Amazing video. Learned a lot. I have a question though. How do you keep your beard straight? I have grown a beard for sometime and its always curly after I take a shower. Even brushing it is not enough to make it straight. The only thing that worked was a beard straightener with 430F temperature but I don't think using a straightner regularly is good for my beard. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Great tutorial! Thank you! I'm doing my 3rd trim now on this style. I love it. And if you mess up a little, guess what? It grows back. Looking forward to checkin out your other videos. All the best.
Hello Mr. Conard. can you please make a video of the best things to do in order to keep your hair healthy and get the full potential of what your hair genetics are capable of?. Thank you in advance. P.s : sorry if my English is off, since its not my mother language.
Thank you so much for this video. I"ve been struggling a lot with my beard lately, and this is the exact style I've wanted to do. (not necessarily because of Kratos, just that pointed look to the beard) but I had no idea what it was even called. Definitely looking forward to giving this a try!
It's great having an 'in shop video' and a 'DIY video' for those brave enough to attempt the self trim!
Lol thanks buddy… but I got you covered
Brave enough to attempt the self trim? Is there anything more normal than trimming your beard?
@@filipesousa9990 not for us guys who take Pride in our Beard and are afraid to fuck it up
I’m trying to grow the Kratos beard and I’m definitely scared to trim it myself. I always end up shaving too much off. I’m 100% going to a barber and showing them the video
@@UkrainianHunk do it cause i tried and f my beard up 😅
All i can think is how impressive it was that kratos did this with a leviathan axe
Underappreciated comment 😅
LOL he’s dadgum Kratos, he didn’t use his axe he used his fingernails to shape it once and then told it to not piss him off so it stayed.
Or blades of chaos😂
😅😅😅😅😅
Facts
Thanks for helping a grown adult learn how to improve his beard game. Family has commented how much better it looks.
That’s awesome! I’m really glad to hear that I could help
Mental health is so important these days. Good to know that there are so many kind people around. Take care and keep going! Greetings from Tirol/Austria
I love Tiroler music
Thank you very, very much for those DIY videos.
They are really teaching me to keep my beard as I like, particularly this one.
Worth mentioning, the "mind blown moment" on the other video and this one where you lean the head back to produce a straight line on the lower part...
I still feel dumb for not knowing this earlier, and thankful for being taught on your videos!
Keep up the awesome work!
Gotta love those lightbulb moment!!!
I thought the same thing when i heard it. I said to myself, it couldn't be that simple. Sure enough, i tried it..... shame fell upon my house that day lol.
You've got such great content Matty! Keep 'em coming. -Eric
Thanks Eric! The feeling is mutual!
Holy shit, my two favorite beard channels on TH-cam
I have only had bad experiences with barbers 3 by 3 they took off almost 6 months worth of length off cuz they couldn't handle my beard.
So i stoped going to barbers for years.
Seeing your dedication to the craft it's giving me hope that there might be a local barber that can deal with my beard.
Great content.
Keep it coming.
Thanks for the encouragement! I appreciate it!
Likewise, been to 3 different barbers locally each time ive shown pictures and said very clearly not to touch the length outside of trimming strays, every time i lost months of growth.. So here i am, DIY time!
I love Kratos and God of War but the anatomy was my favorite part of the video.
It helped tremendously in debating what I'd like to do with my yeard later, my original goal was the Kratos/Ducktail but I am starting to think round/The Boss style.
This made me realize I need to research more on full beard styles and beard anatomy. Luckily, I'm only on my 3rd month of the yeard and have plenty of time.
Thanks Matty! Incredible video, you slayed the Kratos again.
Thanks brother! I’m glad you found it helpful. I’ll try to find a model for a few other options.
@@mattyconradgrooming You're welcome! The info graphic was very useful. Very cool guide. I personally would be interested in more nerdy/scientific videos!
Watching Matty makes me feel absolutely chilled (his movies have great vibe, how cool is that!)
The illusion of this shape is that after it’s cut to look that way, it looks longer than when you started
right? It actually the purpose of that beard shape. it elongates the face shape
GREAT, I just need a beard
Great Job Matty! I'm learning alot! 43 and first time growing. Best channel out there!
I’ve been hairstyling since 1994, but barbering is a whole other craft!
You’ve got some mad talent and a great teaching flow.

How long should I grow my beard out before I start trimming? Do you control the fly aways as it grows or just let it rip?

How have I been growing my beard for 9 years and am only now doing something to clean it up...thanks for great options!
Solid. Though I'm not a fan of cutting length off a beard.
I have a three mirror cabinet over my bathroom sink that really helps with beard trimmings❤
This took some courage to try at home going from a square shape to a triangle and having never touched the shelf myself - but it turned out great! Possibly the best beard trim I’ve had and certainly the cheapest haha.

I absolutely love the amount of effort you put into this video. Thanks for all the guided steps and illustrations. Love ya!
How long does it take to achieve this look? I currently have a clean trim, 3 clip so it’s close. Would you say 3 months? Also, there’s always the awkward stage of growing out the beard where it doesn’t look good. Any tips to surpass this stage would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hiya, id love to be able to grow a beard like that, my problem is it takes so long to grow and looks thin also it grows patchy on one side
Just subbed you because I love your videos and I am starting a beard for the 1st time I’m a 45 year old burly hefty bro that benefits for knowledge in beards to apply wisdom to my own. I’m only 3 weeks in however I’ve “tested the waters” over the years and had a “Kurt cobain” look for 10 years(2012-2022) went clean shaven until mid December but really seriously on New Years and so I say “New Years 2025” is my “my heart into growing a beard” commitment.
Keep me updated.
Just in time!! Can't wait to try this! Thank you Matty!!! 🖤
Great, detailed video!!! I tend to always over-trim now that I’m growing out a bigger beard. I’m too used to my Boy Band skinny chinstrap beard I had for over a decade. 🤣
Thanks for watching!
Might have to try it. I used your trimming video on the squared up style to maintain mine.
I just did the Kratos trim at home and it looks great, too bad you cant post pics in comments but i want to say thank you, i went from a hobo to a god of war thanks to you😊
That’s amazing! I’m so glad I could help!
Just appreciating that this video exists. God bless everyone.
I need to find me a barber, every time I try to do my own beard I mess something up and have to shave it all off. lol
Same lol
Sir, how do I get to this stage if one side of my beard grows perfectly vertical and the other side grows horizontal?
Keep the awesome content coming brother
Thank you my guy 🙏🏻
Im still having trouble wrapping my head around how to create the soft point at the front. There's nothing wrong with the video or the way you explain it, but I just can't get it it in my head. Also, I wonder if this a good choice of beard for me cause right now it's very naturally wavey so Im wondering how it will look when the hairs turn back to theri default shape
Just came across your channel and I'm a bigger guy with a round face. What is a good beard style that would help my face shape? Also I have very curly beard hair and when I tried to straighten it it looks terrible
I really love your videos and these DIY videos are nice. However, I’ve tried going many places and can never seem to find a barber that can handle longer beards. Do you have any suggestions on how to interview potential barbers to see if they actually know what they are doing? I’ve had too many ruined beards that I’ve spent countless hours at home fixing instead of receiving an experience better than myself.
I couldn't decide between ducktail and lumberjack. Thx for the tutorial!!
My pleasure! The lumberjack is usually more of a square bottom beard. They are both great for creating an elongated shape!
Matty, you did this beard cut perfect! Unfortunately some barber take way to much length off but you nailed it!!!!
How far down should you grow on the neck, with reference to the Adam’s Apple?
Mr Conrad,
I have been trying to grow my beard out for some time. When I first started, it didn't look too terrible. However, lately I can't seem to get much, if any, of a good thick beard in my opinion. I NEED HELP!!!! Any ideas or pointers, any advise at all would be greatly appreciated sir!
Thanks in advance!
Brian
What can i do when my beard is long and the tips are starting to curl outwards. Its so frustrating for me to keep it long so i just resort to cutting it short again. I am asking this as i want to try to grow my beard aslong as yours. Also my moustache curls into my mouth what tips can you give. Do you have a video i haven't seen that can help.
Thanks again i find your videos interesting and keep up the amazing work your doing to help us
Only decided to grow a beard because I stumbled upon your videos a few months away from needing to style my beard so these are good learning materials
That’s awesome! Good luck with it!
Any tips for dealing with multi-directional growth ?
Wait….can I ask do you really like the beardscape machine?….I heard your older video you said it was average and good for the price…curious why you don’t use your higher quality machines?
I use a lot of different machines! You’ll notice. I still used my professional trimmer to outline. But overall the Beardscape isn’t bad at all. I use it at home quite often.
@@mattyconradgrooming ok thank you so much for the reply
I love watching your content, espessially at night while chilling and falling asleep! Very educational and soothing chilled feel. Jesus Bless You. ❤🙏
My beard is as thick as yours but i don't have any sideburns. its essentially a giant ghoatee. Do you have any tutorials planned for this kind of growth? love the channel by the way!
Thanks for all the tips you give us. I'm new to your channel and I've watched some great videos. I plan to purchase a set of your victory barber and beard brand supplies for myself, now for my question. I've seen you describe how to trim a fine or light mustache. How would one go about getting a more fuller and defined mustache from a fine one? I've always envied how good another beard style looks with a more full mustache, help lol.
Amazing video. Learned a lot. I have a question though. How do you keep your beard straight? I have grown a beard for sometime and its always curly after I take a shower. Even brushing it is not enough to make it straight. The only thing that worked was a beard straightener with 430F temperature but I don't think using a straightner regularly is good for my beard. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Do you blowdry it with a brush?
@@mattyconradgrooming yes i do. But it still remains curly
Thank you! About how much growth would you recommend before trying this style?
Hey Michael. Thanks for watching. To get this shape you need around 5-6 months growth at the chin. It’s the longest point.
Thank you
What face shape would you say this is best for? Thank you for the awesome videos 😎
Great tutorial! Thank you! I'm doing my 3rd trim now on this style. I love it. And if you mess up a little, guess what? It grows back. Looking forward to checkin out your other videos. All the best.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped! And yeah if you screw it up it’ll always grow back but the more you practice the better it gets.
This has got to be the best beard trimming video I've seen on TH-cam!
Thank you!!!
Ducktail is easily the best looking beard in my opinion. Gives a man a very well-groomed look while still having a decent length of a beard.
Great video, how do I grow my "walls" is what I need now I am just jealous and can't wait to grow those and get this style...
How long does your beard need to be before you can really shape it into a ducktail?
Hello Mr. Conard.
can you please make a video of the best things to do in order to keep your hair healthy and get the full potential of what your hair genetics are capable of?.
Thank you in advance.
P.s : sorry if my English is off, since its not my mother language.
Yes sir. I will work on that.
@@mattyconradgrooming
Thank you sir!. 🖤
Thank you so much for this video. I"ve been struggling a lot with my beard lately, and this is the exact style I've wanted to do. (not necessarily because of Kratos, just that pointed look to the beard) but I had no idea what it was even called. Definitely looking forward to giving this a try!
Glad I could help!
I wonder, when you are doing the freehand on the walls, could you switch to instead use a guard to trim down the sides?
You could do just as a safety but I find you get a smoother result from freehand. So you’d want to try to take off those training wheels ultimately
