I’ve been growing my beard for almost 20 years. Almost shaved it to a mustache. Because I’ve made to many mistakes. Especially in the backline. I didn’t know you till this day and I just want to thank you! I’ll grow out my badboy again and follow your tips. Thanks brother! You’re a genius. Much love for you.
Your tips helps massively! However, after having a beard for over 10 years, I finally went to an actual men’s barber specialized in beards. After an hour of a full cut, trim and shave I wondered why I never had done this. Amazing experience.
That is excellent. These tips are in no way meant to replace what an actual barber should be able to do with your beard. But they do help you keep it tidy in between visits.
I want to do this but I don't know any actual barbershops near me. They'll advertise as a barber shop but it's just like the chains (sport clips, etc) that have a revolving door of girls fresh out of beauty school that probably won't be there next time you go in.
How much on average is a beard trim from a barber? I see people pay 75 or 120 and they draw an outline to make a fade and I’m not a fan.. I just want a clean natural look with very little if any fade… also how does it take an hour for a beard trim?
You have a tremendous amount of impact on men across the world, but you probably already know that. Whenever I get questions about my beard I just link your GQ video which has been a tremendous help for at least 1 1/2 years now. Happy to have found your channel and this extended cut now. I'd unironically buy your products if shipping weren't 39.95 USD. Unlucky for european students. So I guess liking, sharing and commenting for the YT algorithm boost is what I can do to help instead lol. Thanks dude!
Just came across your channel. This is the first time I feel I understood a little about how barbering works. The way you are able to articulate and explain little important details is a reflection of someone who truly understands his craft. Every field has its intricacies and tricks and you're someone who's mastered yours. Thank you so much for sharing all this content. Respect!
I watch TH-cam on how to do pretty much anything I have questions about…but never on how to trim my beard which I struggle with the most. I needed this immensely!
This might be the best freehand beard trimming tutorial on the internet. Kudos to you, sir. As you mentioned, scissors can be very handy, and I find them especially useful for the moustache and back of jaw areas.
I just got out of the military. Joined when I was 19, I'm 24 now, and I just started growing an actual beard for the first time in my life. I'm not as blessed in the facial hair department as matty, but good enough is good enough. But I have next to no experience with a beard, and these videos have helped tremendously not just with technique, but also what styles will look good with my faceshape, what products to use, etc. I will definitely be returning to up my beard game even more
Thank you for this video. My husband decided to stop shaving and he looks like he’s 90 instead of his 75. Today he finally asked me if I’d trim up his beard a little bit and it’s something I’ve never done. I feel a bit more confident in tackling the job. He still wants it long which I don’t understand since we live in Florida but .. I’m going to give it my best shot. Thanks for all the info.
Trimmed my beard for the first time without a guard thanks to your guide. Followed the steps and shaped my beard perfectly. It looks amazing, thank you!
Thank you for making this, I've been growing my beard out for the last 7 months and its looking like your beard is now. I've been a little worried about doing anything to it but watching this makes me feel a little more confident about doing some trimming.
Just trimmed mine with your guidance, been growing mine out for a while and was looking a bit wild, not really knowing what I’m doing, but this has helped massively. Also perfect timing just before Xmas. Great video dude 😎 ✂️
I’ve recently started trimming my own beard. And feel like I do a pretty good job. But with a few little tweaks I learned watching this video, I feel like I’ll be able to take my beard to the next level. Nice vid man. New subscriber.
could you do a video on how to trim/ shape and grow out a curly beard? lots of us have very curly beards and it’s a lot more challenging to keep under control
thank you! bearded since 1980… first time I’ve seen how to maintain my beard correctly. I used to keep it short…have always wanted to go longer / fuller. I’m a 70+ year old great grandpa with a white - ish not quite Santa beard. I’ll be using your tips come Spring, not touching it until then❗️😎
I've watched a ton of somewhat similar video, well, similarly-themed videos, over the years, but nothing compares to yours. I've stumbled upon your how-to guides years ago and they really helped. It took me some time to get used to the freehand tecqhnique and everything, but it changed the way I take care od my beard. I also learned a lot about trimmers and clippers, and so much more. Thank you for your help, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it, and that I love your work in general. Keep pushing out content, you're great at it. I'll watch every single one of your videos, that's for sure. Great work and thank you! 👌
It has been interesting to watch your approach to “cutting back the brush pile.” I tried the clipper method once about twenty-five years ago. Oooops! I went back to the scissors and comb. The last day that I shaved my face, was 10 Sep 68. This was for my Army physical, which a serious insect allergy caused me to be passed over. I may grow the courage to get a better trimmer, and try it again. The white hair seems a bit stiffer. I thank you again for letting me watch you work and explain things in a sensible manner.
@@mattyconradgrooming Just please don't be too critical on yourself, editing skills is a life-long process in time. So if this is how you start off, it is already more than enough, very well I'd say, and I guess it can only get magnifique eventually - so please keep up the good work! And thanks for your reply, will definitely visit your store when crossing the pond!
@@mattyconradgrooming the transitions from color to black and white just aren't working. The black and white, for a how-to video, loses so much detail. You can't even see the difference between the clipper and trimmer teeth.
I nearly give up on my beard until I come across you dude. Love you tutorials. Mine is nigh on white now, tried dying and just not for me, guess it's time to embrace the grey.
Matty, my man you are amazing! I cannot even tell you how many videos I have watched from other folks and they haven’t even come close to the information, professionalism and accuracy that you just provided! Liked and Subscribed!! You are now my go too for beard trimming. I’ve had one all my life since an adult, and I am finally taking it seriously at 52😅! THANK YOU for providing great and thorough content!! Cheers and Happy New Year! You ROCK!
I learned from you the care of my beard but a professional is needed at least 4 times a year. I am sorry not to find Victory products in Italy. Shipping costs from the USA are really high. Thank you Matty for your valuable advice. Saluti dall'Italia!
Seriously man thank you so much ❤️ I've been struggling to take care of my husband's beard (yes I know he can go get it done but I like doing it for him and I feel like I was doing an ok job) I feel like I'm gonna rock it the next time I do it! 🎉 I've never been so excited to do his beard 😅
I've watched this so many times and each time gotten progressively better. So worth paying for premium for this to help me tonight with a NYE clean up. Thanks Matty! Can't wait for the coloring vid. Last 3 yrs have aged me something fierce 😂
Thank you so much for this video. I'm 50 and for the first time in my life i work in a career where I could grow a beard if I wanted to.. The scariest part of this whole experience is the trimming and having no idea what I'm doing. I really appreciate this video and learned a lot!
Great info! Thank you. Almost time for my first self trim..... Hey your short clips on Amazon for Victory Beard Wash, AWESOME!!! Orders in. Really look forward to trying it out.
Finally another Matty Conrad video!could you do a video for guys (like me jajaja) who have patchy beards and want to let it grow, what are your recommendation and if you can use a model for explain it that would be great, thank bro
Man…. If I only knew this 50 years ago. I look great it took me very little time compare to extra time and really bad results…. Now I’m clean and my girl loves it. Thank you
I've had a pretty long beard for a while now and want to say I think it's better to get a nice pair of small grooming scissors when trimming the stache. What I do for avoiding the cats asshole stache style (😂) is hold the scissors vertical to your lips as you progress across them. This will help you avoid a, in my opinion, bad look due to it looking too straight. By holding the scissors vertical, you get the length and shape you want while it being easier to avoid going too high above your lip. The tip you have about "less is more" is gold and applies here too - start low to trim, but give yourself room to progress further up. Back away from the mirror for a few seconds after every few cuts and brush down with a horse hair brush. Make sure that when you do your mustache that your beard is ENTIRELY dry. Wet hair is longer than dry hair so that makes a difference when avoiding the cats asshole. Very good video my friend!
I love your tutorials! Thank you so much. I’ve been growing my beard out for about three months, and I’m going to try this tonight. Side note… What kind of watch are you wearing in this video? I love it!
After my first attempt to grow a beard was destroyed by a barber who messed it up, I found your GQ videos and only made touch ups at home since. Thanks for the detailed vid and great content! Can you make a video on a good way to taper a beard to a bald head? Any bald&bearded tips would be highly appreciated!
just used for tips for the first time. not the cleanest cut but i can defiantly see a nice shaped beard. look like a man now thanks dude! really helped.
If Tom Brady had a perfectly manicured beard, you would have this man. Great tutorial, you've inspired me to grow my beard out. My entire chin is grey, I have a salt and pepper mustache, and jet black beard hair along my jaw line. Bring on the beard coloring video my friend.
You know this is channel for men when you scroll the comment section and you find zero comments on not closing the water when he's washing the beard. Wonderful!
Great video. It took me 3 years to understand what to do to make beard like this but this video helps a lot. The problem is you look good in any way (and yes I'm straight guy)
Thank you for that regrouping my beard and asked a company that post alot to no reply...... awesome... now to just get my unsteady hands with these trimmers and the Helpful Hint at a pair of clippers as I think that is most of the problems
I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these dude. I am kinda scared to try anything though, I don't want to fuck my beard up. I've never had one so I'm just leaving it alone even tho I think it could use a professional trim.
If you are concerned about screwing it up find a good barber. Just start with a “trim” before letting them change the shape. See how they do with a clean up first.
You should have used the zero blade that brio provided you. I just picked up the V2 and love this clipper. Used the zero blade to outline and didn't even need to go in with a razor after. I would like to see a video on how to fade a beard on the side using those clippers and the zero blade.
wanted a beard just like this. went to a barber here in washington and the guy basically did opposite of everything you said. he ruined a 12 month old stache and my long beard. i want to come to your barbershop. please open one in seattle area.
@Matty Conrad Excellent video. I'll be trying this in the morning. As others have mentioned I's also like to know how to fade sideburns into a bald head and what to do when the beard is wavy on the sides and tends to naturally curl up underneath. Do I let it grow out more or keep it shorter underneath? p.s.-@29:47 you say you use matte product to "scalp" your beard. I'm sure you meant "sculpt", so I thought you'd like to know.
Hello! Do you have any advice for someone whose beard is curling into itself at the bottom? Only just turned 21 and never showed care for my beard. Though 2 years has already shown quite a bit. Also, came back at the perfect time, glad to see a new video alongside the poofy face we enjoy. =)
Matty like a lot of other comments just now coming across your channel as I am starting the beard journey. I have had a beard for many years but have kept it nice and trimmed tight. Now I want to grow it out and wish I would have come across your channel sooner. After about 20 different beard oils/balms and a heated straightener brush realize that a trim is probably more of what I need. I look forward to finding a barber (watched your video on that) and plan on going soon. I did have a question, noticed you didn't have a wide tooth comb at the Victory Barber website, any plans on carrying one in the future? Sorry for the long comment and question, enjoying your videos!
I have a wahl clipper, I think I bought it for 1200 inr (15-16 usd) in 2015 and still using it. It is still giving me a nice beard shape (half cm less than shown in the video) My first clippers
Love these videos so satisfying seeing a beard tidied up, the hard part is growing one in the first place though. I always get patches pretty sure it’s from me playing with it though
Great video... it'll help me from making mistakes that take weeks to recover from! Left field question - what is your hat in the B roll at the beginning? I've been hat shopping and yours looks very close to what I'm looking for... Thanks!
@@mattyconradgrooming stuff like this is great, this is more of the style I want to try out, kept my beard short for years just because it was much easier to manage and I had limited time, I do not have those excuses anymore.
dude thanks for sharing this. I've tried to freehand a little but always mess it up. I think if I go in the order you did ill be fine. I was kind of hopping around
I definitely find the prep part ( wash and blowdry) to be one of the most important steps when it comes to getting a good result. Doing all of these steps in order is just what makes the most sense to me.
Great tutorial. Could you do a 'touchup' beard trimming video to highlight the do's and dont's to avoid those mistakes that will ruin a beard? It seems to be easy to go too far when touching up.
I found I had to be brave when tackling the base, but thanks to this video I thankfully didn't butcher it - raising a beer to you from Ireland Matty! 🍻
I’ve been growing my beard for almost 20 years. Almost shaved it to a mustache. Because I’ve made to many mistakes. Especially in the backline.
I didn’t know you till this day and I just want to thank you!
I’ll grow out my badboy again and follow your tips.

This. Go to the barber for a regular beard trim and pay attention to how they trim your beard before butchering it yourself.
That is excellent. These tips are in no way meant to replace what an actual barber should be able to do with your beard. But they do help you keep it tidy in between visits.
I go once a month and I can keep the shape in-between I keep my beard tight to my cheeks and don't have my mustache connected to my beard
I want to do this but I don't know any actual barbershops near me. They'll advertise as a barber shop but it's just like the chains (sport clips, etc) that have a revolving door of girls fresh out of beauty school that probably won't be there next time you go in.

I've had a beard for over 30 years. The trimmer vs. clipper information was news to me. Super helpful as I need a new trimmer..., no, clipper.
Honestly I have learned that just about any clipper will do… but the difference in trimmers is massive. A good one can be worth it’s weight in gold.

we need mroe videos man! haha, im heading to Vancouver in march so ima stop by for sure
This is better than barbers doing it to clients. Thanks for this!
My pleasure. Unfortunately we are limited to only doing what style suits us on ourselves… so sometimes we need to demonstrate on other people 🤷🏻♂️
The first QG video made me confident to grow my bear about 3 years ago, this video made me want to keep it until I died. amazing tips
That might be the best compliment I’ve ever gotten… thank you 🙏🏻
wanted a beard just like this. went to a barber here in washington and the guy basically did opposite of everything you said. he ruined a 12 month old stache and my long beard. i want to come to your barbershop. please open one in seattle area.
Thank you I needed this video. Followed the tips and my beard looks 100% better.
That’s awesome!!! Thanks for watching!
@Matty Conrad Excellent video. I'll be trying this in the morning. As others have mentioned I's also like to know how to fade sideburns into a bald head and what to do when the beard is wavy on the sides and tends to naturally curl up underneath. Do I let it grow out more or keep it shorter underneath?
p.s.-@29:47 you say you use matte product to "scalp" your beard. I'm sure you meant "sculpt", so I thought you'd like to know.
You know Matty is a real man when he mowed lawns growing up.
I had a paper route too 🤷🏻♂️
I like this guy, clear, simple, skillful
Hello! Do you have any advice for someone whose beard is curling into itself at the bottom? Only just turned 21 and never showed care for my beard. Though 2 years has already shown quite a bit. Also, came back at the perfect time, glad to see a new video alongside the poofy face we enjoy. =)
A very informative video, I learned quite a lot. Thank you.
Saw you on GQ initially. Just found your channel. Really good stuff pal.
Thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate it.
Matty like a lot of other comments just now coming across your channel as I am starting the beard journey. I have had a beard for many years but have kept it nice and trimmed tight. Now I want to grow it out and wish I would have come across your channel sooner. After about 20 different beard oils/balms and a heated straightener brush realize that a trim is probably more of what I need. I look forward to finding a barber (watched your video on that) and plan on going soon. I did have a question, noticed you didn't have a wide tooth comb at the Victory Barber website, any plans on carrying one in the future? Sorry for the long comment and question, enjoying your videos!
You tips helped me so much, thank you!!!
I have a wahl clipper, I think I bought it for 1200 inr (15-16 usd) in 2015 and still using it. It is still giving me a nice beard shape (half cm less than shown in the video)
My first clippers
That’s awesome… I love a long lasting clipper
Will you also do a short beard tutorial in the near future?
Love these videos so satisfying seeing a beard tidied up, the hard part is growing one in the first place though. I always get patches pretty sure it’s from me playing with it though
Try a brush when you want to play with your beard. It increases blood flow and might actually help thicken it up.
The "cats asshole" lives rent free in my mind every time a trim the stash LOL
Been waiting for this 👍
THIS helped me immensely!! Thanks! Subscribed!
Great video... it'll help me from making mistakes that take weeks to recover from! Left field question - what is your hat in the B roll at the beginning? I've been hat shopping and yours looks very close to what I'm looking for... Thanks!
It’s a Stetson Open Road in silver belly. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the tips. My first time doing a beard!
Welcome! I hope it helps!
Stunning seiko there !
I found you on GQ, found your channel to follow over theirs.
Thanks for the follow! Let me know what videos you’d like to see!
@@mattyconradgrooming stuff like this is great, this is more of the style I want to try out, kept my beard short for years just because it was much easier to manage and I had limited time, I do not have those excuses anymore.
Incredibly helpful! Thanks man! Definitely subscribed 👍
dude thanks for sharing this. I've tried to freehand a little but always mess it up. I think if I go in the order you did ill be fine. I was kind of hopping around
I definitely find the prep part ( wash and blowdry) to be one of the most important steps when it comes to getting a good result. Doing all of these steps in order is just what makes the most sense to me.
Great tutorial. Could you do a 'touchup' beard trimming video to highlight the do's and dont's to avoid those mistakes that will ruin a beard? It seems to be easy to go too far when touching up.
Great idea! I’ll work on that.
I found I had to be brave when tackling the base, but thanks to this video I thankfully didn't butcher it - raising a beer to you from Ireland Matty! 🍻
Thanks for watching Rory! HPpy to help!
