Looking good Greg! You’re actually giving me a lot of motivation growing a full beard out for the first time because my cheeks are a little patchy; however, if you yourself can start out with some patches and end up looking like Zeus, I guess I can, too! 😂😂
Damn that's growing in quick Greg! I shaved mine off a week before you and I'm at around the same stage of growth. And yeah, I had A LOT of itchiness and made a video about how I stopped it. Took a lot of product tweaking
To start, your second theory is the closer to being a scientific fact. But more on that in a minute. I highly suggest that, if you do a beard reboot like Greg, Jack, and myself, you shouldn't deviate from your beard routine. The differences is how much. You should still be using a beard wash to your preference, co-washing as soon as even week 1, and oil/balm from day one. Back to Greg's theory and my reason for suggesting the use of beard oil/balm from day one is simple. At complete shave, your skin produces enough oil to protect itself or keep itself moisturized (providing you're sticking to your old routine of beard wash 1-2 days a week or more if needed). By week 1-2, your hair is long enough that it's soaking up the oil that your skin produces and leaving nothing for the skin, hence the itchiness. Beard oil is really meant for the skin despite its namesake. Also, if you keep to your beard routine from day one, then your beard will be softer and not so coarse in the first few weeks of new growth. One last thing: GREG! Your bald patches are starting to not be so bald. Instead, now it's thin patches. I freaking love the randomness of how beard hair decides if and when it will grow.
Greg I live in Saskatchewan and I wear a beard and it's the dry climate summer, fall, winter and spring. Beard oil has helped me considerably. Take care.
I’ve tried both beard oil and beard balm and After trying both I use the Lumber Yard Utility balm from beard brand . I’m on my second jar and love it! I have recently had some heavy itch and flaking on the corner of my chin and the utility balm worked like a charm.
You know what's great about these vids? Everyone was in love with Gregg's beard, because it was pretty much perfect. But shaving it off, you can see Gregg has allot of the "issues" we all have: the growth of the hairs that isn't dense, some patches and bald spots here and there, itching, etc. Goes to show you can have an amazing beard as long as you take good (daily) care of it and above all, have patience.
I’m so excited now that my mans beard has finally gotten past the “rub my face off” stage when we kiss. He’s growing his at the same time as you! Keeping up on your progress
Well it’s comforting to see that a guy like you has a bit of a patchy beard in the beginning considering I’ve seen what you look like with a full one. The patchiness in the early stages has always stopped me from growing one because I was worried it would stay that way. I’m going to try growing one out for 3 months and see what it looks like at that point.
I am almost finishing my 2nd week with growing a beard for the first time. I have much bigger patches as it seems now, but will give time and see what happens. Itching is a problem (serious one), and the most effective solution for me was beard lotion. It is mint, it smells good, cools and soothes the skin and the effect last for a significant amount of time. The lotion gets absorbed more quickly and is not oily/greasy, so it does not cause any inconvenience for me when applying it.
I’m both a beard oil and beard Utility balm guy but not a beard styling balm guy. I use beard oil twice a day. After my morning shower while my beard is still damp after patting dry w/a towel I use beard brand beard oil (Spiced Citrus) then in early evening I’ll use beard brand Spiced Citrus Utility Balm for more skiing hydration on my face especially underneath my chin. The I’ll use the beard brand beard oil, you guessed it, spiced Citrus again before bed. I’ll with shower a second time which I use Beard brand utility bar in a like warm water, or I’ll rinse my face off fir 2-3 minutes w/the spray on the sink, oat dry and use the oil. For second time. This is my beard routine daily and I’ll wash beard every 3rd day a/beard brand shampoo and softener. Anyway so I’m both a oil and utility balm guy. If I could only use 1 I’d definitely use the beard oil. My beard feels so soft w/the oil so light and so natural. Using the utility balm my beard feel a little heavier but I do think it moisturizes my skin more and long than the oil. But I’d pick beard brand oil over everything but use both
From an outside point of view (not a frequent watcher, that is), he looks fine either way. He might look more ‘iconic’ with his beard, but not necessarily better - it’s just hair!
Wow so impressed, Irritation so bad almost shaved it off, rinsed out my beard for 10 mins, 180° turn, face feels so much better. Washed my beard last night with some new beard shampoo conditioner, today awful irritation. Washed it out. Feel great!
I have a relatively springy/bushy beard with 2" hairs. I use oil every single day when I get out of the shower. Sometimes first thing in the morning when I don't plan on showering until later in the day and I still occasionally have beardruff issues. It comes and goes. It's definitely a product of dryness because it is almost always associated with itching. At this point I'm not sure if I need to try a different product (ie switching to balms instead of oil), a different brand, or change my washing habits (I wash every other day with grandpa's pine tar soap).
I'm both. I do 10 drops of oil first, then I put balm on. Mainly for styling and keeping the fly aways at Bay but it also helps with keeping my hair and skin moisturized.
I use both, balm for everyday use, and oil for special occasions solely for the amazing smell of the brand I use! I'm enjoying the progression of your beard growth videos, looking forward to Zeus' return!!
Utility Balm is the one product I could not live without. I used to get terrible itchiness at my old job because I had to wear a beard net (the indignity!). Sadly, this was before I had discovered Beardbrand or beard care in general, so my itchiness went un-soothed until I left the job.
I use the utility temple smoke or tea tree balm daily and then later in the afternoon/ night I use the beard oil (same fragrances) to prevent the itchy and to help skin keep moisturized during the night.
I've tried dozens of times to grow facial hair but always got disappointed with all the bare spots, thanks to you I got motivation that I didn't have before. I started with the mustache six years ago and had a lot of itch, then went to the goatee five years ago and the itch was even worse but I wanted it so I dealt with it. My spotty four week beard though no itch at all, oddly. Never used any oil or balm until recently thanks to your channel. Wish I would have known about it years ago. Never used the balm so can't say anything about that yet.
First time I grew a beard it inched like crazy when I got to the 3 week stage I wanted to set fire to my face it was so bad even the hair clippers were taunting me lol, it also felt like I had a dirty face too, you know when you eat a sugar donut and have suger all over your lips it's felt like that for ages ones I got to 60 days it was done and I got used to it, I rocked a beard for a year then foolishly went to far with the clippers, so shaved the lot off and forgot about having a beard until a year later, the second time round my beard didn't itch at all and never had the feeling of a dirty face either it's like you body remembers the last time and already developed a fix and applied it like a computer patch lol.
I use oil for the first month or so of growth then I switch to oil + balm when I start getting some length. I always add the oil while my beard is still damp and warm from the shower, before any blow drying. Then, after it's dry, I'll add the balm for a little extra moisturizing and also for the little bit of hold the balm provides. I'm 3 months into growing my beard back out and am getting to the stage where things want to get a little wonky so it's nice to have that bit of control.
No itching never had that issue. Growing my bead back in. Used a heat brush and burnt a good 6 to 7 inches off my beard. It is on the mend. My lesson learned is to eat well and balanced and to use vitamin e and aloe and let the beard grow in naturally. No more mechanical adjustments. Natural is the best way. I wish I never used the heat brush. It was a nice beard then. It will be a nicer beard in about 12 months
I’m mixed race and my beard is quite spilt. On the cheeks and chin it grows pretty straight like most white men, and under my chin and along my jaw line it is quite curly and coarse like most beards in black men, and under the chin where it gets quite curled and maybe tangled is where I sometimes find it itches. Especially since where the hair curls it may rub against the curve down into my neck which also comes into contact with the area where I shave to line up my beard. I use both beard oil and balm as per the needs of my beard, the balm I use helps keep my beard soft and easy to groom and the oil keeps the roots moisturised and adds that nice sheen to it
Right now I'm trying coconut oil to see it it works for me. People said online that I should try it but then other people said don't use it. But still gonna try it for the week.
Greg's beard is looking good. The first 3 months of growth are always awkward. I wash my beard more than most (3-5 times a week) because I run a lot. Therefore I use both butter and the oil to keep my skin and beard hydrated.
Greg beard grows so fast would take me a least 5-6 of growth to get to that stage.. Think most men when they want a beard they want to be thick and long in a month and mostly don't have the patience to let it grow because it isnt growing fast enough
A good tip...i use ecology soap which are so excellent to use in the face when you wash. It does not dry out the skin and are good for the hair too either beard or on the head. The itch are normal common problem for all men, because it is hair that start grows like jungle to get thicker. My beard is now two weeks since i did shaved last time. And the finally...yes you do fit better with a beard but not too long. I suggest short beard.
I use both depending on how my beard feels . I've trimmed my beard down from Half its length to deal with this red dryness patch on one side of my chin. For that use balm or just Nivea creme. To really moisturise the red flaky area only.
I shaved my beard off, we have a similar look, but I have been keeping clean shaving. After about 2 months I am completely used to my face again. Now going out stubble looks weird to me..lol
I am guessing that the seasons matter a lot as to why you get the itch while growing once and not another time. I am into day 25 of growing my beard and can relate to the itch. Being my first serious attempt, I found the tips on washing off properly and using the balm, very helpful. I am using oil at the moment and I must say it does add shine but is not helping a lot with the itch. I'm going to try some natural beard balm now. Thanks for the tips 🙂
I used to get an itchy beard now my process is wash my face and beard well use cocoa butter to help the skin get moisturized then i apply beard balm has worked wonders so far.
Greg, I always enjoy your videos and insight. I myself have been growing a beard for a few months now without cutting. I always have a beard but typically keep it trimmed and shorter. Since I started growing my beard fuller and longer I have used both oil and balm. I’ve noticed a great smell as well as texture. My hairs are much less coarse.
Here’s something that causes beard itching that nobody talks about: growing a beard after wet shaving with a razor! Instead, don’t shave for a couple days and then trim it down to stubble with a good pair of clippers (no guard) and grow from there-you will thank me! Shaving with a razor creates a sharp edge to each facial hair which will irritate the skin-especially when your beard is short. Trimming with a clipper creates a blunt end to the hair and the itching is way less, and for me, it went away almost entirely with the addition of beard oil/butter/balm. Try it out next time you decide to grow a beard!
Each time I would go into lazy mode with not shaving then try to go into growing a full beard mode, the itching and bumps in my lower sideburn areas would drive me nuts to the point I'd shave, altho I even be afraid to do that with the bumps. Funny thing about it is I didn't realize when washing my face that I was subconsciously avoiding my facial hairs til one of my friends said I should scrub the bumpy burns hard cuz he had same issue. That was all I needed to do, and when I started going hard in growing my beard, beard oils and balms were picked up early. I virtually never have itching anymore.
Thanks for all the tips they were extremely helpful, especially the itchiness of my beard that was caused because it was too dry. I use rosa musqueta oil, something used for healing wounds and it helped tremendously
I used to get very dry skin under my beard, was almost like dandruff on my face, used exfoliating face wash and beard oil/conditioner daily and that stopped it
For me it is the sharp end of the hairs irritating my skin and causing it to itch. It's murder from 1wk to 3wks but after that out gets better and only minimal itch here and there
Im 49 and 3 weeks into growing my first beard and I recently picked up beard oil and it is amazing! No more itch and the vanilla wiskey smells so good I wanna drink it!🍻🤣👍
Yeah Greg great video yeah the itch goes away in about 90 days or so...so if you have any issues now, it should be going away soon. I had terrible itch and what I did is moisturize my face and it helped tremendously. Today is my beard is getting a little longer, I use a combination of beard oil and I also use beard balm. I use beard oil to hang around the house and right after I shower or wash my face and the balm when I'm going out for either business or pleasure. I wash my face often because nothing is worse than your girl telling you your beard stinks. Keep it going Greg, you're getting back to your old self it's good to see. Cheers!
wow it is really unbelivable how he can get a fully looking beard with so many patches and you can see close up he doesnt have a thick beard ! nice ill try doing it myself
When I was younger I'd get beard itch for the first few weeks after starting a new beard, but nowadays that's not an issue. When I was a kid I didn't use any beard oils or beard washes , I just used regular shampoo on it and that may have something to do with it.
Greg if you are going to grow your handle bar back in can you talk through the awkward part where it too short to style but still gets in your mouth. I’m right there now.
I'm also on week 3 going into week 4 of my beard/mustache growth. Thanks for the tips on itching, will have to try out both oil and balm due to the fact I wash my face everyday.
Ever since scotch Porter co washing I've had ZERO itch. And this is my second growing of a beard started using the conditioner at the end of my first beard journey and have been using the conditioner every night since a clean shave and now have some good growth hadn't been itchy at all and I was one to have bad beard itch
Utility Balm! I think I have everything in the BeardBrand lineup EXCEPT oil... my beard type just needs more control, and I like the sheen with the mild hold that the balm provides. I combine it with the sea salt spray for hold and sheen. - Eric
Starting to grow my first beard at 38 years of age. Thank you guys for these videos! They are fun to watch and are very informative. I’m about 1 month in and am getting the itch. I don’t have the money to afford your products yet but I soon as I do I’m going to pick some up. I’m using something I believe is called Bronson brothers or BB which is designed for hair growth. It is sort of a balm. It is helping with the edge but I’m not sure if it’s helping or hurting my beard. Do you guys have any insight on this product or have you heard of it?
No insight on this product, however, as long as you're keeping your skin and hair healthy, hydrated, and keep a healthy lifestyle, you'll achieve the best environment for growth. -Randa
I'm growing my first beard ever at 62 years old. I'm at 16 days, starting to look like something. I shaved the neck a little high last week, for work, so I'm now letting the rest below catch up. It will probably even out in a few weeks? I wish I could attach a pic for your response. Thanks for the videos. It helps.
Not gonna lie: I think you're more of a short than a long beard guy. You looked alright with and without the beard, but this length you're rocking right now (maybe a bit more) is perfect for you
I think it is very simple. Without the beard you look mortal. With your big beard you look immortal. Simple as that.
Well said.
Excellent

I can’t imagine Gregg ever being angry or in a bad mood

It's so true 😂

8:17 he put his eyebrows DOWN!!!
I swear, Greg’s voice sounds different without a beard
It's the confidence that goes with the beard. Kind of like the confidence one gets when wearing glasses. It happens, I noticed it too.
The sound changes because the beard covers the throat and produces a kind of subwoofer.
@@monalisa3870 Soundwaves dont work like that. By that logic, wearing a scarf makes you sound like Vin Diesel
Damn that's growing in quick Greg! I shaved mine off a week before you and I'm at around the same stage of growth. And yeah, I had A LOT of itchiness and made a video about how I stopped it. Took a lot of product tweaking
No its not..I can get his beard long in 10 days
Or 1 week
The itch reason is winter
@@armaxxxgaming It was a lot of different things
@@armaxxxgaming Congrats on the fast growing beard, you're very lucky, but Greg is also on the fast-growing spectrum
I use coconut oil when my skin is dry. Workes wonders

Started my first beard attempt at 42 on Nov 22, interesting seeing your weekly updates. 1 month looks like an actual beard.
Dude, I loved you in "The Christmas Chronicles"!!
I used to have itching before I started to really take care of my beard. For me combing and beard oil have helped a ton
I use coconut oil - works great.
Beards looking good 👌🏻 it’s still weird seeing you without the big beard and mustache!!
I've gotten used to it, you will too eventually
I switch between oil and balm, although I would choose beard oil if I really had to choose only one.
Like both to, but if i had to use only one would be the oil to
My favorite is a dime sized dollop of balm with a couple drops of oil mixed in.
Alex H that is an interesting idea!
u can use oil fore more than ur beard, if u know what i mean
Melvin Albert lmfaooo 😂
The salt & Pepper stubble looks dope
Use castor oil mixed with coconut guys it's great for both skin and hair and beats itch completely

I mix it once, its good but i preffer to take only balm or only oil, just my prefrence and my opinion... 18 yr old talk here :)
still tough to recognize ! hoping to see the beard after 2-3 months on your face !
I think Greg is one of those guys the definetly looks better with a beard. Clean shaven Greg was such a drastic change 😂

I agree with you about using Utility Balm over oil when it comes to Beardbrand. It never fails at giving my beard proper nourishment
I use both beard oil and balm.
Crazy the alopecia you have how well it grows fully. I to have a bald patch that is no longer visible. Im at 6 months with my retirement beard.

That’s rough buddy
They grow at different rates. Yours might take longer but could look badass after a year
Sorry. 😔
Nice video Greg. So,is it possible that the dandruff problem that I have with my beard is caused by dryness as a result of over-washing it?!!!!!?
I’m 50 and I’m not old enough for a great beard although given where you’re at now vs this video maybe there is hope
I use both. Beard balm for every day use and beard balm plus beard oil for that extra pop when i go out about. Great stuff.
Now the channel is getting back into its groove. Also Mrs. Berzinsky is a lucky woman
Right now I'm trying coconut oil to see it it works for me. People said online that I should try it but then other people said don't use it.

Try using less oil

I am guessing that the seasons matter a lot as to why you get the itch while growing once and not another time. I am into day 25 of growing my beard and can relate to the itch. Being my first serious attempt, I found the tips on washing off properly and using the balm, very helpful. I am using oil at the moment and I must say it does add shine but is not helping a lot with the itch. I'm going to try some natural beard balm now. Thanks for the tips 🙂
I used to get an itchy beard now my process is wash my face and beard well use cocoa butter to help the skin get moisturized then i apply beard balm has worked wonders so far.
Great Video
Hi Gregg,
Im enjoying the weekly updates.
Are you growing out your hair? Need some motivation as I’m growing my hair out too. Thanks

Supporting 90 Day no Trim 👍🏼
Greg, I always enjoy your videos and insight. I myself have been growing a beard for a few months now without cutting. I always have a beard but typically keep it trimmed and shorter. Since I started growing my beard fuller and longer I have used both oil and balm. I’ve noticed a great smell as well as texture. My hairs are much less coarse.
Here’s something that causes beard itching that nobody talks about: growing a beard after wet shaving with a razor! Instead, don’t shave for a couple days and then trim it down to stubble with a good pair of clippers (no guard) and grow from there-you will thank me!
Shaving with a razor creates a sharp edge to each facial hair which will irritate the skin-especially when your beard is short. Trimming with a clipper creates a blunt end to the hair and the itching is way less, and for me, it went away almost entirely with the addition of beard oil/butter/balm. Try it out next time you decide to grow a beard!
Your spaced out stubble gives my great hope that I can grow a gloriously long beard with my fairly sparse left cheek in the future.
Each time I would go into lazy mode with not shaving then try to go into growing a full beard mode, the itching and bumps in my lower sideburn areas would drive me nuts to the point I'd shave, altho I even be afraid to do that with the bumps.
Funny thing about it is I didn't realize when washing my face that I was subconsciously avoiding my facial hairs til one of my friends said I should scrub the bumpy burns hard cuz he had same issue. That was all I needed to do, and when I started going hard in growing my beard, beard oils and balms were picked up early. I virtually never have itching anymore.
I use coconut oil straight out of the jar. I've tried beard oils and balms but for me coconut oil is the winner.
Damn hes got such a patchy ass beard but when he grows in for 6 months it looks full like a master wizard
Thanks for all the tips they were extremely helpful, especially the itchiness of my beard that was caused because it was too dry. I use rosa musqueta oil, something used for healing wounds and it helped tremendously
Do you think having a white beard aids in making a thinner sparse beard look more full?
I use both.
I used to get very dry skin under my beard, was almost like dandruff on my face, used exfoliating face wash and beard oil/conditioner daily and that stopped it
Before I start this video I am going to say that I am very excited for the next video
Greg, after what amount of days are you thinking to correct your beard? i mean the mustache, sides and etc...
I use Oil after the Shower while the skin is still open and the hairs are nice and soft, then I use Balm in the morning.
For me it is the sharp end of the hairs irritating my skin and causing it to itch. It's murder from 1wk to 3wks but after that out gets better and only minimal itch here and there
Im 49 and 3 weeks into growing my first beard and I recently picked up beard oil and it is amazing! No more itch and the vanilla wiskey smells so good I wanna drink it!🍻🤣👍
Yeah Greg great video yeah the itch goes away in about 90 days or so...so if you have any issues now, it should be going away soon. I had terrible itch and what I did is moisturize my face and it helped tremendously. Today is my beard is getting a little longer, I use a combination of beard oil and I also use beard balm. I use beard oil to hang around the house and right after I shower or wash my face and the balm when I'm going out for either business or pleasure. I wash my face often because nothing is worse than your girl telling you your beard stinks. Keep it going Greg, you're getting back to your old self it's good to see. Cheers!
wow it is really unbelivable how he can get a fully looking beard with so many patches and you can see close up he doesnt have a thick beard ! nice ill try doing it myself
I definitely prefer oil over balm
When I was younger I'd get beard itch for the first few weeks after starting a new beard, but nowadays that's not an issue. When I was a kid I didn't use any beard oils or beard washes , I just used regular shampoo on it and that may have something to do with it.
Can you show us later how to shape beard and should we pull up beard with the comb from the face or should we stick it down to the face line?
Greg if you are going to grow your handle bar back in can you talk through the awkward part where it too short to style but still gets in your mouth. I’m right there now.
I'm also on week 3 going into week 4 of my beard/mustache growth. Thanks for the tips on itching, will have to try out both oil and balm due to the fact I wash my face everyday.
I use both oil and balm mainly to control the fly aways
Beard oil and Styling Balm make the perfect combo, don't they?
- Jack
I have the same gaps right next to the mustache/disconnect between stache and cheeks. This gives me hope!
Ever since scotch Porter co washing I've had ZERO itch. And this is my second growing of a beard started using the conditioner at the end of my first beard journey and have been using the conditioner every night since a clean shave and now have some good growth hadn't been itchy at all and I was one to have bad beard itch
How long does it take to grow out mustache like yours back in the days? Want to try it out myself
Stay tuned for additional updates but I'm gonna say within 8 weeks I'll have a significant mustache
@@BerzinskyRules That's great! Thanks for your quick reply.
Utility Balm! I think I have everything in the BeardBrand lineup EXCEPT oil... my beard type just needs more control, and I like the sheen with the mild hold that the balm provides. I combine it with the sea salt spray for hold and sheen. - Eric
Starting to grow my first beard at 38 years of age. Thank you guys for these videos! They are fun to watch and are very informative. I’m about 1 month in and am getting the itch. I don’t have the money to afford your products yet but I soon as I do I’m going to pick some up. I’m using something I believe is called Bronson brothers or BB which is designed for hair growth. It is sort of a balm. It is helping with the edge but I’m not sure if it’s helping or hurting my beard. Do you guys have any insight on this product or have you heard of it?
No insight on this product, however, as long as you're keeping your skin and hair healthy, hydrated, and keep a healthy lifestyle, you'll achieve the best environment for growth.

For me the balm helps when my beard is still short and growing out. I switch to the oil when it’s full and lengthy.
I've only used balm so far,from what I hear they basically the same but balm will last longer throughout the day
Helpful video, keep the growing in motion. :) You can use coconut oil for the dry beard too. I had that problem and it helps.
I really really like the short and even the clean shaved look. From stylish Santa Claus to Mafioso in one shave. Greg is awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I'm growing my first beard ever at 62 years old. I'm at 16 days, starting to look like something. I shaved the neck a little high last week, for work, so I'm now letting the rest below catch up. It will probably even out in a few weeks? I wish I could attach a pic for your response. Thanks for the videos. It helps.
Very good video
Not gonna lie: I think you're more of a short than a long beard guy. You looked alright with and without the beard, but this length you're rocking right now (maybe a bit more) is perfect for you
I am using oil. Also 3 weeks in. Balm will come in later, Enjoying your videos and journey. Especially considering I am also on the same time line.
Could you use both balm and oil?
