Definitely do a video showing how to DIY this!
Let’s see how many people agree
Do it
I agree
I also agree, the bottom is really hard to do by yourself and self tutorials on this specific style are scarce unfortunately.
Also, that 45 degree angle thing would be nice in a DIY vid👍
But shorter please !
You should definitely do a DIY short ducktail beard tutorial! Your videos are always a treat to watch and has helped my beard tremendously, I've spent 40 years not knowing how to trim my beard to look it's best (to my ability....) until I just happened to see your videos by the magic of the algorithm.
Aww man that’s so great to hear! Thank you 🙏🏻
Yes 🎉🎉🎉 I love the duck tale it’s my preference thanks to Chris Ramsay he’s the reason I wanted to grow a beard lol savage af for a Canadian aye?😂😂
I would definitely love to see a shorter ducktail tutorial! I kinda learned to do it on my own based on all of your videos, but I wonder how you would approach it directly.
Alright. It’s on!
@@mattyconradgrooming Sweet, thank you man!!! Much love!❤Your videos changed my beard game forever!
These videos (music, style, voiceover etc) are very peaceful to watch (and totally compliments the Old Fashioned I just made 🥃 :) thx Matty!
I can’t think of a better way to watch it then with an old-fashioned
Man I’m at 1.5 months of beard growth, your beard care tips just worked on me like magic, thank you and the KRATOS beard is awesome, keep growing and take care.
That’s awesome! I’m so excited to hear that!
Hell yes Matty! Not only have I been searching how to trim a ducktail beard, I also JUST bought the same exact set of clippers and trimmers from Wahl!! Thanks for this!
I’m just editing a version where I give it to myself at home! Hopefully it will be helpful!
You're a master barber. All your vids and products have helped me level up my beard and hairstyle game for almost 2 years now. Love the Kratos Ducktail, gonna try and do this ducktail style this year!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for this ! love Kratos , ur model is
awesome for working on him - always the constant professional with just the right amount of humor - great video and awesome work as usual !
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I really appreciate it.
Excellent as always Matty Man!
Please do a DIY short version of the Kratos. I love you videos and personally, your tips have made trimming my beard fun and easy. I love the content Mr. Conrad, keep up the great work!
looks very good. the angles you showed really are a gamechanger for a "do it yourself" version.
as for right now I am letting my beard grow a bit longer than usual so I have more room to work on it. I might try that one out.. and even if I mess it up, I can get it fixed by the barber.
love your videos and everything. started off as a complete newbie.. and with your advices, I would say, I can do the "small maintenance" that is necessary after a few weeks thanks to you.
That’s all I am trying to do. Thanks for the encouragement!
3 months of beard and hair growth and I'm following your tips - it works awesome! it is slow but progressive 😊
I was rocking short to mid beard for last two years. Thanks to your videos I was able to maintain it in good shape and visit a barber only once in quarter. Now I've changed my look and shaved everything - so that my kids can see my face for some time ;) but I found out that you have your channel and I'm addicted to watching it. It is like ASMR, the way you operate your tools with such precision, like sculpting and your soothing voice describing each step of the process, I just can't stop. Thank you for your work and willingness to share it with us.
Lol thank you! I have always hated the sound of my own voice so I really appreciate the support!
GREAT CUT ! loved this vid, and looking for this KRATOS CUT myself when im ready !
Thanks for watching Richard
I would very much love to see a DIY to do a long style of this beard. I have been growing my beard out and it has a rounded-square look using your previous tutorials. I’m proud of it but there is something about that longer, duck tail style that really looks sharp. I’m willing to try it and if it doesn’t look good, I’m proud to say it will grow back soon. 😂👍 Well done on this one Matty!
Coming soon!
I came across your videos last year when i started growing out my beard for the first time. I kept thinking it would be great to find someone like Matty locally to go to for my very first beard trim when the time came. Imagine my surprise when I found out you're LOCAL!!!! lol I have my appointment booked with you for my very first beard trim on March 2nd. Looking forward to it :)
Right on!!! Looking forward to it!
I do enjoy your videos, Matty! Got me inspired to get started. 3 months in, getting somewhere!
That’s awesome Simon! Glad it’s helping!
Awesome video!! Finished product was sleek! I've been growing my beard out and using your how-to videos to trim and sculpt it. So far, so good! Wish I lived closer to your shop!!
I’ll keep posting videos! Hope they help you!
@@mattyconradgrooming thanks Brother!
Ever since I started growing out my beard beyond a simple stubble, I've learned so much from your videos over at GQ. Thanks Matty. You've made it a pleasure to trim/shave myself.A happy coincidence that I find your channel the night before I planned to trim it again.
And if we're doing "old style" beards like Kratos, could you do a video about trimming a Leonidas beard? I've been aiming at that style for a while now. Could be from the film, or history.
Thank you, Matty!
Great idea!!!!
Main protip for me here was the straightening part. I always had completely straight hair (before I went full Kratos up top) but since growing my beard longer it's developed a lot of kinks in the cheek area. Need to give this brush turning technique a try! Thanks Matty, you're the man 🧔♂️
Prep before trimming definitely leads to a cleaner result!
This is prolly gna be my fave video❤
Loved your products since before I started barbering and I’m happy to see a TH-cam channel now! I may have to take a trip north for a service one of these days!
Thanks for supporting the Brand! Come by the shop if you are ever in town!
Awesome video...can't believe I didn't find your video sooner. Got a new sub with this one
Thanks for the sub!
When I saw the preview and thumbnail for this video, I was like "hey, that's what @Matty Conrad calls a ducktail!" Lo and behold, you say that 3 minutes into the video. Great work and this just cements the fact that if and when I get up to Vancouver, Victory Barber & Brand is a must-visit.
Thanks Jared!!!
DIY'd my beard based on this video, and although not perfect it's not bad at all. Very helpful.
Great to hear! I have a DIY version coming soon!
Great video thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another great video ! And a great beard.
Thanks for watching brother
This was a great video, and one I've been wanting to see. As others said, would be nice to see a DIY, although conceptually nothing would really change.
Thanks!
if enough people request it I will definitely do one
Really nice
Nicely done, looks great. I'd like to see that future video of you giving yourself this cut also.
Coming up!
Cut and model ( Rahim ) combination are very good. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
That's the exact beard shape I tried to describe to my new barber. I have a pretty thick beard like that, can't wait for the next trip. Cheers👍
You knock that out the park!! I'd like to see a short version ducktail tutorial 👍
You got it 👍🏼
Great job. Fun to watch.
Thank you!
Been recently looking into beard channels here on TH-cam. Just came across yours. Really like your content, so I subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos great ideas. Since I grown my beard my confidence has grown I have lost my uncle few years back I quit saving just let grow my life change
Congratulations Robert. Good luck with the beard.
This was solid!
Thank you sir!
Awesome video! Really enjoyed the cut. Bonus points for the killer Dixxons sir 👌
I am addicted to DIXXONS
@@mattyconradgrooming I'm the same man. Just wish they would stop with the weekly drops it's destroying my bank account haha. Anyway I'm going off topic! Keep up the awesome content!
Great work, that was a beautiful beard that fella had, loved the symmetrical grey at the front, and finished style looked awesome, might be my next too.
Thanks! He has an amazing beard definitely
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir. I am a big fan of your writing
19:12 Wow. Great job! You are a Master of Your craft, Sir.
I'm starting to grow my Beard out and it's looking good. I get a lot of great compliments. However it will be that time for a Beard trim❤
Man, this video's giving me all kinds of inspiration. I've been growing a beard mainly because it's February in Saskatchewan and it would be a really dumb idea not to have one in this arctic weather. But, now that spring's here, I might keep it around, and have fun with it. I do kind of have to be careful because I'm bald, 6'5 and a weightlifter with 25 lbs of muscle, so I end up accidentally intimidating people a lot, lol.
I’ve been to Saskatchewan in February… I feel you
Thank you for making this!
Thanks for watching.
Great video tutorial and beard shape!
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
this is one of my favorite beard styles! I've had several barbers attempt this on me and none have really pulled it off like this! i would love to see a shorter version done
Challenge accepted
Man this is a bad ass beard to have! Growing my beard out right now and hope to have it shaped like this one day.
Great video guide, I watched this and your at home version the only thing I would like to see is if those plastic guides are helpful or hindrance or if it's just user error on my part because it seems like I always get closer on one side of my beard than the other when I use them. Thanks and have a great weekend
Yep fave video!! Prolly cuz I’m a huge kratos fan and Greek mythology lol that’s defiantly a godly beard!!!!
Man this looks beautiful
That was str8🔥
Thank you sir 🙏🏻 much appreciated !
Perfectly done!! 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
I need this too.
Gotta do it man.
Excellent!
Thanks!
You are my new favorite channel
Thank you!!!
Looks awesome!!!! Nice work!!!!
Thank you!
Great job Matty
Thank you!
Thx for this video.
Thanks for watching!!
Pure genius…definitely need a DIY video of this
Coming right up
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Awesome vid. Wish I could finmd a shop like yours in my area.
Thanks for watching. I have a video that might help you with that!
Would love to see a shorter Kratos on Matty! Haha.
THE INTERNET HAS SPOKEN!
Perfect job
In beard trimming there is no such thing as perfection… the goal is to be close to it.
beautiful work
Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome 👍
That beard looks awesome nice job
Thanks Steve!!!
Looks great
Thanks Steve!
Matty, you just seem to know when trim day is around the corner. Perfect timing!
Edit: yaaa buddy you know we wanna see how you'd do it yourself. That type of video is the most informative for us DIYers
THE INTERNET HAS SPOKEN
Great video man!
Thank you i
Very nice tutorial. When are you gonna bring out your own set of victory-tools? ;)
That guy really has the aura of a legend. The colouring of his beard is magnificent.
🧐. Hmmm I should probably do that
The video we’ve all been waiting for
Edit:and I’m definitely down to see the DIY shorter version.
Ive been trimmin my own beard for a few yrs now but to this day, im always nervous af trimming the lower sides, very hard using a mirror and everything is backwards.
It makes a world of difference trimming someones else's beard. I trim my brothers and i have to admit, i do better than some barbers. Using premium clippers and beard trimmer definitely helps also.
Alright. I’ll get to work 💪🏼
Matty is the GOAT 🐐
Lol 😂. Thank you 🙏🏻
Right on Matty! 💪
Thank you!
Amazing!!!
Thanks!!
Love this
Thanks Paul!
You the man. 👏🏼
Thank you sir 🙏🏻
This was awesome! Ditto on the DIY version!
Coming up!
Looks great.
Thanks!
This man’s beard is strong, loves this video
Thanks for watching!
Spot on, and it suited him too.
Thank you! Much appreciated
I would love to see a faded square beard tutorial! Great video, thank you for your lessons
I just posted one 2 weeks ago! Check it out on my page:
Do the Kratos beard in it’s full glory on yourself! Great video! Been waiting on this for a long time
Coming up!
Good one dude
Thank you sir!
Aight need you to move to new york and be my personal barber. Haven't been to one yet kinda been trimming and maintaining the lines myself. Its been alright but you craftsmanship of a beard is fantastic.... I don't hold a candle.
Awww man… thanks for the compliment
Magical
A video on how to grow out the beard would be great, especially keeping it neat along the way.
Example how to keep the neck neat enough for an office but lower the neckline as the beard grows… I think so far all I’ve seen is basically just let it grow, but I don’t want to be too unruly at work but I don’t want to be trimming away what I may need later.
Basically how to go from a short beard to a kratos beard and be tidy along the way!
Excellent suggestion!
Good job
Matty: "Honestly, who the hell is Kratos?"
Kratos: BOY!!!!
Lol. 🤷🏻♂️ now I know!
I liked that he was confident enough with his current looks and wouldn't allow anyone including you to dictate what to do with his beard and hair. Men should learn a thing or two from him. 😊
I never dictate my clients looks… it’s always a colaboration
Awesome beard style!!
Thank you!
You're a great teacher! Could you please do a video on fading a skin fade beard? Thanks !
I have one up! Check it out!
def do the DIY short kratos!
I’m on it!
Woow, this is great. Could you make a video on face shapes and hair colours? I'd like a flat top military haircut but with a long kratos (or the squared version of it) like beard.
The only thing is, I have a long face, am blond and have a darker (almost red) coloured beard. And I'm not sure if I should go this route as I think it will make my face even longer and turn the attention more to my beard than to the rest of my face. Do you know someone who matches this description to show us what I need to keep in mind whenever I trim my beard?
Love your channel! Would love to see a video of a beard that doesn't have the normal wirey texture. My beard hair texture is more like the texture of hair on the head. I do have a shaved head so this beard shape is perfect.
Just awesome! I'm sure he got more than a few comments on this afterwards!
He did! My dude went on vacation the next day and said he got asked at least 50 times who did his beard 😂
@@mattyconradgrooming I believe it. Pure art what you do.
Definitely give yourself the Classic Ducktail!
You got it!
Please come to Guyana!
100% Njce work Matty.
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
What a beard 🔥
To be fair. It was a beauty to start with 💪🏼
