Just entering the world of beards at young age of 55, best video tutorial I've found on here without a doubt, clear and precise, Keep em coming Greg. Thanks
This is one of the few videos where I click on each and every ad on purpose, just so that the producer of this video makes more money out of it. Thanks for that tutorial. I was looking exactly for something like that and I have spent hours watching other videos that weren't as applicable as yours.
Ha ha, great comment!! 😂 Well, now that I'm older I have to be more careful.....but yes, I kind of used to be that way. I haven't totally changed, though. On the other hand, it would be nice to be remembered as being one of the nicest guys ever. Thanks for watching!
I have to point out. When he brushes his beard out and then brushes it down. Brushing it out like that is important. That's what gives it more body and if you brush it like that everyday the hair will more naturally have it sit more how you want it to. Just a little trick I saw him do and wanted to throw in my experience.
I was getting so flustered on trying to trim my beard. I was almost ready to throw in the towel and go back to a stubble beard. So glad I found this, thank you man!
I’ve been shaving my beard for over 15 years and this is one of the best videos about it that I’ve ver seen. To the point and with good advice. Thanks!
I greatly appreciate your video! I just retired from the Army and have always wanted to grow a beard. However, not ever having one, I didn't know how to keep it looking good. I followed your advice and couldn't be happier. Thanks again!
My beard grows really fast and I have never managed to shave it in a proper way without being dissatisfied. Ended up with me shaving it all off. With this video I finally managed to shave it nice and clean! Thank you so much!
thanks Greg for this clear tutorial video... never had the balls to do a beard trim myself.. (scared of messing up) with this video i finally did it! no regrets.. beard is looking clean and crisp.. huge boost in confidence here
I accidentally trimmed my beard into an awesome Kratos style beard a few months ago, and I completely forgot how I did it 😭 haven't been able to get it back that way since then.
thanks Greg this is by far the best video for beard shaping. your beard is majestic. I've been growing my beard for the past 3 months and i just created a v shape and i'm so proud of how it came out. you are the goat my friend.
I have been shaping my own beard for 24 years now, 15 years since I even went to a barber since I started shaving my head, I was way ahead of the game rocking a full head in 1994 lol the bald head in 2006, Its amazing how we all find the same tricks to shape up from trails and errors
So I've been groiwing my beard for a full year and decided to trim. After watching this video I decided to try the stuff you told in this video and it was a success... I need a hair cut tho too... Im not doing it myself.
Thanks Greg for this excellent tutorial, my beard is still a work in progress since January this year. I keep looking for simple, basic, well explained videos and the internet search keeps coming back to your ones. Just about to go and shape it now. Thanks again 😊
This is a brilliant video simple and smart ,I went to barber and he made a mess of it neck line was too high and it was just a mess I was going to shave it off and start again but left it for a few weeks and followed this video really pleased with the result !
I tried this a few months back & really liked the result but wound up over grooming & screwed it up. Wound up shaving it all off, decided to grow it from scratch proper using beard oil, biotin, etc. Came out way better in terms of hair condition. My beard was getting kind of wild after about 2 months so I came back to your tutorial, did it again but perfectly this time, dramatic difference in my beard, looks way different I'd forgotten how much better it would look. I always wondered how to cut my beard like this but never knew how, big thanks. My confidence is way up, just felt like before my face didn't have nearly as much shape & the wild hairs made it look crappy.
This is 4y old video but i still find it very useful. A suggestion - If possible, Please re-record this whole method with actual cutting of hair for more explanation. I almost always mess v shape on chin.
Awesome tutorial man good job! After 5 months of natural beard growth I'm very uneasy about trying to shape my beard (even though I've spent years trimming and shaping it at a short length) cos I don't want to ruin anything I've worked hard to grow... But I really want this v shape/kratos style beard and I reckon I have enough beard growth to do it. Just too on edge about trying it lmao but once again great video dude!
wish i seen this yesterday.. i removed way too much... i miss my longer beard :( also great shape on your beard, looks v.professional.. Also the whole 2 point on the chin is legit!, thats the way i naturally trim mine, think its part of our genetic memory :),.. i find my beard edge (between ear and back of jawline) gets too scragly with length so this style suits perfect
This video helped me a lot. I never used to go down. I always used to go up and took too much off. My beard always came out OK but it was shorter than I wanted but today I did this method and it looks great. Thank you.
I color my beard at 43. I have a young looking face and I just can't do the natural look yet. The hard part is keeping it colored on the very short parts of the beard by the ears as it grows out.
Excellent. I was lucky to have found your video first. It chose it because I like the present shape and length of your beard. I wish mine to look like this and no longer.
Yes, I have one video where I go against the grain. But I also explain that this is not the norm. However, it can be done. It's just not my preference because the hair does lay differently.
Hi Greg, just found this video as I've been looking for instruction on shaping a v shaped beard like yours. One question... how do you trim the bottom part of the V directly under your chin to keep at the length you have it at without making it too square? Thanks!
Great video of a very easy way to keep your beard looking sharp and clean. This video and the one in which you used the Aqua Blade are both saved on to use as reference. Good luck in everything you do!
Greg, one trim video, you said don’t wrap under jawline. A few others, including this one, you say wrap under jawline. What’s the difference please. Thanks
I have the same question. In the short to medium beard trim video, we’re going against the grain with a #6 on the sides under the jawline. Why the difference,? It’s certainly easier to use the wrap under technique. I hope Greg answers your question. His videos are so helpful!
Right on man, took me years to figure some of these things out. Great advice. I went against the grain for so long, great demo on how to line it up with the razor, I will be using that technique.
Why couldn't I use a bigger guard and go against the grain (on the sides)? Just wondering, because no body really ever advises to go against the grain aside from doing a bit of a fade, so I guess there must be a good reason for it?
You said to cut the cheeks with a number 3 straight down along the cheeks and to stop before you get to the chin. How do you that flat look under the tip if the chin?
Great video, but after watching it a couple times I am still confused about two things. First of all, before you trim it, do you comb it so it is basically fluffed up or sticking out? I think I've been doing it wrong and combing it down and under the chin. Second question is about the bottom, you said don't trim the point, you don't need to, but now that part is long on mine an curling left or right. How do keep the point shaped without a trimmer?
The hair on my chin gets dry and splits easily no matter how much oil I put on, has stopped me in the past from trying to grow it out and get that v-shape. I'm trying to see how it goes now, though.
Oh man, growing my beard for the first time I did to myself exactly what your barber did to you. Used a long comb to cut a very straight v, it looked so unnatural!
One of the best beard technic which I like. I followed but have a bulge underneath the chin in the middle how do you trim. I have very thick hair. Also is there a technic to soften the beard.
Either trim it to match or let the hair on your chin grow longer to conceal it. To soften the beard use a good beard wash, conditioner, oil, and balm. Check the description box for good places to make your purchases. And use the codes I've provided to same yourself some money.
My wife always told me she won't like beards, until i got one like yours and now she cant take her hands off of me. I have a nr 2 hair so I skip the nr 1 upper sideburn. Great video Greg. You're the man!
One question, I am a bit confused about the middle part of the chin. Let's say my trimmer has a longer guard, like 30mm am I then allowed to go in the beard like with the rest?
I have been looking for a good tutorial on this forever. I have the exact same head shape and beard type as you. Going to copy this to the T. Thank you so much for sharing
This is dope. I’ve shaved my beard off. I’m growing it back right now. Some of the guys have been giving me a hard time. Calling me baby face lol. And that I look to young to do the job that we do. I’m in my mid 30’s people lol. Awesome video.
After trudging through a bunch of unhelpful videos, we have all struck gold with this mans video. Exactly what we needed.
For all those asking a #3 guard is 10mm (#2 = 6mm, #1 = 3mm)
Thanks for clarifying that! I wasn't really for sure what they equated to.
Thanks just what I wanted to know.
u mean 9mm
???
Julian Pettifer No.3 guard is 9mm
@@akg.69 plot twist, it depends on the brand
Kratos used this video
LOL!! I clicked on it cause he looks just like Kratos in the thumbnail!! LOL
BOI
Haha yes he did!!!!!
On this day The man the legend will have his beard trimmed...

As an Apprentice Barber 💈, this tutorial is better than in shop/class tutorial I’ve been in thus far. Well done Sir.
Wow, thanks man! I appreciate that
I was getting so flustered on trying to trim my beard. I was almost ready to throw in the towel and go back to a stubble beard. So glad I found this, thank you man!
aye man just did this and it worked like a charm... I now have the confidence to walk in public and its because of you!!

AASR I was thinking just the same thing. Thanks Greg, always something to learn even for us long time bearders.

That's fantastic!
Awesome video! I felt at a loss how to shape up my husband’s bushy beard and this was so helpful. It turned out great and hubby loves it.
this is the best video i have ever watched. Better than any barber!!!
That beard clean AF! And the bits of grey say “u ain’t on my level, boy.”👍🏽
You should see some of my older videos where my beard is longer.
Thanks Greg for this excellent tutorial, my beard is still a work in progress since January this year. I keep looking for simple, basic, well explained videos and the internet search keeps coming back to your ones. Just about to go and shape it now. Thanks again 😊
This is the art of manliness. Our make up. Thank you for the timeless videos man. Big up

How to trim a V shaped beard: Step 1. Have a V shaped face
Never ever left a comment before on TH-cam, but your delivery is brilliant you should be on telly
As a straight guy can I just say, you look absolutely beautiful in this beard.
Nice looking beard. I will remember this for when I grow up and can grow a beard... I am over 20 and still waiting.
This is great. I tried this technique and my beard turned out great. Thank you for the pointers!
With this and the shave head tutorial I’m confident now In giving it a shot this weekend .
Thank you for this video. Most tutorials do the box shape and it does not look great on me. This is what I've been wanting.
thank you the tutorial. I recently went for a trim and the barber completely messed up my beard. Now I've planned to take the matter in my own hands 😅
Cheek lineup was super helpful
Great technique using your finger as a guide! Awesome!
Thanks!
This is 4y old video but i still find it very useful.
A suggestion - If possible, Please re-record this whole method with actual cutting of hair for more explanation. I almost always mess v shape on chin.
Used this as a tutorial today, best one ever... thank you from UK

Beard Geometry- a subject worthy of a thesis. Very scientific, Greg!
Nice and simple...👍
Mate by far your advices are the best and easiest to follow to keep a nice natural trimmed beard. Thanks a lot and please keep going helping us

EyeAmBatman I know the feeling, brother! I've messed up my beard many times. But so have barbers. It's all trial and error. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I really need the help, and this video (I hope) will do the trick. Cheers.
This video helped me a lot. I never used to go down. I always used to go up and took too much off. My beard always came out OK but it was shorter than I wanted but today I did this method and it looks great. Thank you.
Good to hear
I color my beard at 43. I have a young looking face and I just can't do the natural look yet. The hard part is keeping it colored on the very short parts of the beard by the ears as it grows out.
Bro chicks dig gray tho
This is the best tutorial that I've found for this type of beard.
great finaly a man who knows how to do it and how to explain it, never really got it right but with this video i got it spot on thanks mate.
Excellent. I was lucky to have found your video first. It chose it because I like the present shape and length of your beard. I wish mine to look like this and no longer.
It's BIlly Zane with a beard
love it how in one video you go against the beard and in another, by the beard. great.
Yes, I have one video where I go against the grain. But I also explain that this is not the norm. However, it can be done. It's just not my preference because the hair does lay differently.

Thanks! Well, the women are not swooning but it would be cool if they were.
This is sage wisdom right here.
really helpfull video for someone like myself new to growing a beard. thanks for the good advice
Thank you for posting this video Greg; you were so helpful! Your beard shape and length is exactly what I'm trying to do.
A tutorial how it should be. Real, fast, clean and to the point. I enjoyed watching it!

You said to cut the cheeks with a number 3 straight down along the cheeks and to stop before you get to the chin. How do you that flat look under the tip if the chin?
if your aim is to grow length on the bottom, you would simply use a higher guard than a 3 to curve inwards towards the neck correct?

You've been a massive help Greg, thanks so much for your easy to understand and execute videos, much appreciated.
You're very welcome!
Great tips Greg. Every couple of days I use an Andis Foil to keep my cheek and neck line stubble in check. Fast and blade close.
This type of beard looks great on most but is especially good for those looking to gain some chin
Do you have any tips to do it more of a longer ducktail beard style? Would I just follow the same directions here, just with a bigger guard?
A very healthy looking beard.
God of War beard.
BOY!
I have been looking for a good tutorial on this forever. I have the exact same head shape and beard type as you. Going to copy this to the T. Thank you so much for sharing
Hey greg thanks for the video.. I just got a question on the one thing u didnt mention.. How do u trim or mantain the length of the goatee area?
Love this technique so easy to maintain and keep it natural looking 👍👍👍
You changed my life bro! Thank you!🔥
I Wish you would tell the mm of each spacer 😊

Very nice tutorial. Anyone has any advice to dye the beard with out being too “invasive “?
Great videos. I have learned alot about beards watching your videos.

Thank you Greg! I'll try this out tomorrow morning!
So can i follow your steps, but keep growing the bottom longer V ?
