Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him. John 3:16 Romans 3:23😊❤😊❤
I'm a black male. I found this channel 2 months ago. I'm still learning about life and you are the best OG I've learned from. We come from 2 totally different worlds. I'm from Detroit, Michigan. You are a real true grit man brother. Thank you for changing our lives and teaching us about life. Thank you brother.
@@patriotking5991 I had beta parents. Both my father's are beta beta beta. The alpha in me fought. I fought hard but I was highly manipulated and brainwashed. My soul knew something was wrong and it felt like I was being dumbed down and they scared me to death about everything under the sun until I saw it was false information. Then I went hard and bought my house cash and moved on but I have lifetime of memories. They tried to emasculate me..
in a world where i hear daily i should shave, i am happy to have a few moments where someone makes me feel normal for having a beard as long as yours. Thank you. Most beard talks on you tube are not from men like you, but from those...glamour men. Feels stupid to say, but thank you.
if you have time to have a look good for you, but i feel it should be more acceptable for men to take care of themselves better from 40 to 80 years old. we work in to busy and dirty of an environment to keep beards on our farm. cutting torch burn it, frozen or just trying to clean whats already here. not that its anything other than that. beard people arent thought of as a people, because if you live with a dirty one youll be remembered for it. prefer handlebar mustache.
I had a 9 month growth, looked identical to yours (mustache and all) and I was forced to trim it this morning for a job interview. My beard has always been my signature, and men and women alike compliment it out in public a few times per week. It's a point of pride. I make my own beard oil and keep it well manicured and presentable. It's a majestic thing and I take full advantage of the blessing of being able to have a beard just like yours. I did get the job, the interview went swimmingly! I'm in the trades, so i'll be growing it right back out as I realized they didn't mind. Just... first impressions, ya never know.
Got myself an interview in 3 days in the trades! Due to patchiness, I am going to have to shave it off for now. But afterward, I'm going to let it grow myself!
This is just my personal advice, but don’t do that sort of thing for a job interview. The likely effect is to reduce your confidence, which makes it seem like you aren’t sure you can do the job. Fortunately that apparently didn’t happen to you.
"If you shave your beard or trim your beard it grows back faster, no it don't it just goes away", Dwayne you have a way of putting things into perspective and making us smile and chuckle.
It's so nice to see that real men still exist. In a world that is tearing men down at every corner it is nice to see some still standing tall and firm in their masculinity! You VERY much can be gentle and have a beard!! I would love to see beards make a come back along with hats and self respect!!
Not looking to grow a beard anytime soon (female subscriber here) I stayed and enjoyed the conversation anyway. Thanks for being a light in an ignorant world, Sir. God bless! Headed over to Momma's channel now.
@missaloha Dude, if you did grow a beard & start a channel you’d be praised by ALL the tiktok’rs & becoma a bajillionaire in like 4 hours.... food for though. #jk 😂😂
We love you Uncle Dwayne, don't listen to the negative haters in the world. You've got tons of people here that love what you do and have been with you since the beginning. Please keep the good stuff coming brother.
As a bearded man. I will say if you choose to grow your beard out wear it with pride and take care of it . If you take care of it and have confidence in who you are and are a respectful man and a good man you will get endless compliments on it. The beard doesn't make the man but it is a exclamation point on him. My Dad was a self sufficient bearded man and I had many bearded men in my family that were good men. So as a kid I aways said one day I'll be a man and have my own beard. Be you 💯 and you will be your best because of it. My wife did not prefer my beard long at first but as she seen me take pride in it and the care I put in it she has come around and loves it now. So you do you and make your mark in the world brothers.
I'm a seventeen year old, and I just found your channel. It might not be targeted to me, but your lessons are very interesting and I genuinely enjoy tuning into your channel. You gained a subscriber lmao.
I recently turned 30, I wish I had this kind of content when I was as young as you. Luckily, I have a fantastic father in my life. I hope you do too! But some extra insight is never a bad thing.
I started shaving at age 11. Kids in high school thought I was a narc when I’d have a 5 o’clock shadow in third period. I quit shaving at 23. I’m 34 now, and my wife’s only seen my clean shaven face twice in the last 7 years. As far as the itch goes, the trick is to not shave, but just trim it back with some electric clippers…not to the skin. Maybe 1 or 2 millimeters, but definitely not clean shaven. The itch will go away. Also, not being a wimp helps.
I liked how you discussed liberty in a marriage, and that aside from immorality, both spouses should have the liberty to dress and look as they see fit. Such a reasonable and well articulated outlook on the subject, and I wish more people had such an outlook.
Over the years I've grown my beard and shaved it off. I've noticed in the summertime here in Pa that having a beard actually keeps my face cooler. Have you that noticed that Dwayne? All my Amish friends grow a beard when they get married and keep it for life. I'm a 64 year old horseshoer , I will be starting radiation treatments soon for prostate cancer. I hope I don't lose my beard
@John Clark Brother, you’ll NEVER lose what your beard represents. If we were to ever cross paths in real life, I’d automatically see you with that beard. Put that worry where it belongs; in the crapper. There’s nothing but time to get it back, and for now just focus on the fact that you’re gonna WHOOP CANCER’s ASS! Have a blessed day, my Brother 👊🏽 Sending up prayers of gratitude & healing for you & your family.
I sorry to hear that. I hope you don't lose it as well. I am 71 year old retired field archaeologist myself who has worked in the Desert for nearly 40 years.
You Sir are certainly allowed to talk about beards! Respect! You practice what you preach and I Love it. Outstanding human you are! Excellent beard too...
I just wanted to let you know that I am not a horse person or a cowboy but I watch every video because of your wisdom and views on life,, I live in Ware Massachusetts.
As a bearded man of over 20 years I say thanks for putting this message out there. I stopped worrying years ago about my imagine and what people think of it. Image is all for show. Character development is where it's at. Just be yourself. Be real and God Bless!!
"Shouldn't've kicked the dog as I walked by" as we all have done on occassion. Respect and dignity is waning however you my friend can help in making us aware of that and encouraging us to return to it. Good Morning Dwayne from Corpus Christi, TX, thank you for being you and giving us life lessons for ourselves and to pass on to others.
How cold does it actually get in Canada? I’ve heard it gets so cold you have to keep your car running at night because it’ll freeze to death otherwise.
@@shawndonq135 It depends province by province bro! But usually, -15 Celsius to -40 is common across the country. Factor in the wind chill and it becomes deadly sometimes. The car running thing. No, nothing like that haha, not that serious.
This is gotta be my favorite video ever. Watching it for my 3rd time now. The only reason I got TH-cam premium was to listen too your videos while I work. I’m a tree farmer working a farm by myself. My brother had to quit because of an unusual case of chrons disease. Listening too your videos has changed my life around. I’m growing a beard now because you’re right about it!
Been waiting for this one. About time. Been growing mine for 14 months now. 💪🏼been growing on and off since I was 20. Never have to wear a face mask in the winter. I live up in Canada and it gets to -50C with the wind. Working on top of a 200 foot grain elevator as a welder it can keep you warm, or to warm if ya start it on fire hahah 😅 had to start trimming it to fit my welding lid. But now I’m 36 and I’m just a artistry bumming around. I got maybe a couple inches on ya UNC! But ya got me beat with the thickness. Some days I feel like that pine tree you talk about but, I’ll keep eating more protein haha Nice oak tree thanks for all the guidance. Was a broken man just 6 years ago and this last year your videos have help me tremendously. Never had a father. If I could have one I’d ask for a man like you. Nice to have more men coming out and encouraging us to be better men ourselves. Much love and ✊🏼
@@pkope6849 hahaha glad I could help with that. The smell of burnt hair lasts for a good month. Don’t even need the scented beard balm. Haha much love Lake Michigan. ✊🏼
I’ve read articles that say rubbing castor oil into your beard, eyebrows and eyelashes will make them not only grow but also keep the hair healthy. -Maybe will work for you and other men?
I like that the old greek philosophers grew beards as a way to express patience and wisdom. To me a beard is a great representation of that. I’m not sure that means it’s a needed thing to grow, but that’s just what I think whenever I see someone with a beard.
I haven’t shaved in 30+ years. I can’t think of a bigger waste of time than to shave one day just to have to do it again the next. I trim my beard every six months to five years and manage just fine.
When I was living up in North Dakota last year, folks would recognize and remember me by my beard, which is black and not all that common of a natural beard color up in NoDak. I’d get mistaken for an actor or athlete whenever I’d go to the honky tonk. One night, I told a gal my name and she couldn’t remember it, so she went on to call me “lumberjack” from that night on. All in all, my beard carries cultural significance in addition to it being a part of my identity. It serves a purpose in my line of work, protecting me from the elements: from snow and subzero temps in NoDak to trail dust and the scorching Arizona sun. I’m proud of what I’ve got and what I can grow. It was good to see you shed light on this topic, Dewayne.
😮 I love my beard. I'm with you. Not a crybaby 😢 like now days people. Smoke it forget them we don't need them and not brain washed. I really enjoy the clips you have! And we don't want the new kinda life. So sad and poking and soft. I'm really glad I'm not alone. They are thinning us out. 55 years old and PROUD JUST LIKE MY FAMILY BEFORE ME. TIM A REAL MAN. THANK YOU SIR!!!
My white 4yr beard looks like ZZTop. I’m 6’3, and with my Cowboy Hat - I tell you what, BEST decision ever..!!! Every MAN should grow it long once..! Your beard is BADASS Dwayne…! 😎
I watch your channel a lot because your campfire philosophy aligns with my own. I don't have an active channel at all, but if I did, I would want it to relay much of the same information and life skills that your own does. GREAT job, sir! I think the advice you give is much needed among men in our Nation. I'm a 61-year-old male out of the Arkansas Ozarks, retired from a lifetime of uniforms (Army, Air Force & career Law Enforcement) who also smokes a pipe. Since retirement 10 years ago, I have worn and enjoyed a beard anywhere from a "heavy goatee" to a full beard that looks very similar to yours for this past year. Your philosophy and life lessons resonate loudly among us all. God bless you and "Mama" and may your channel find even more success as you ride down the trail of life.
Hello Dewayne! I agree 100% that a partner should leave freedom of choice regarding shaving or not, or having long or short hair. And yes, a man can have a beard and have gentle manners at the same time.
My dad passed away in 2012, and in the 46 years that I knew him I never saw him in a t-shirt. I'm 58 now and agree with you on the beards and the hats - I wear a hat more often than not. I grew up in a surf culture, so t-shirts and flip flops are a part of my being - I feel very comfortable in them - although it's flannel shirts and boots when I am at my cabin in Canada. I'm with you on the filtered coffee; also like the occasional cigar; and celebrate the water of life in a good single malt.
Dwayne, I love your videos, I love your voice. Your calm nature. I'm from Dublin, I've had a beard for many years and over here it's rare unless you are a hipster but I'm a man in your shade, A family man and a man of independence. Please keep up what you do. I watch your videos when I have time for a cigar . Craig . Dublin, Ireland
Great video as a bearded older man agree,growing a beard takes patience,my routine is simple wash mine with beard shampoo & beard oil 3 times a week,beard balm daily to control frizz,keep your beard Dwyane & enjoy
As someone who’s had a beard continuously for over 3 decades I can attest to your advice given here. Keep it clean, combed, and treated. I use beard balm more to lubricate the skin underneath and it has virtually eliminated the bearddruf I used to get. The historical heroes I had as a kid were for the most part bearded, so that inspired me originally. That plus the fact that it just naturally there meant to me that I shouldn’t fight nature. Now it’s just become part of who I am.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard . . . Psalm 133
Your comments are always something to think about. Most times I agree with you not unlike this video. We NEED to get our manhood back. Men and women are different and that’s ok. IMO.
16 years old and for the last 2 or 3 years whenever I’d see hair coming on my face I’d always just trim it off right away cause I thought people would think I looked cleaner and more together if I did, I never actually wanted to really. But about a month ago I just decided to let it grow because I wanted to do what I truly wanted for myself and see it as a manly look. Thanks for your wisdom on things Dewayne always making me feel more sure of everything
Don’t discount waiting. If you can grow a beard at 16 great, but sometimes the testosterone is busy doing other things at that age and it takes until your 20s for the beard to really come in.
Dwayne, this Ole man got a good chuckle & loved the Dat Beard😊. In my younger years, I would, like you noted, occasionally cut mine off: sans mustache. But, my kids; who are in their early 40s, haven't seen me without my beard, since they were toddlers. Thoroughly enjoyed the video, Thanks for the chat.
I have always seen it as a badge of righteousness in a way. It's biblical. Contrary to the way of the world now it's actually very attractive and very manly as it should be. So glad to have found you guys videos. Love ya both. Your a treasure.
I would almost give my right arm to come to your school for 5 days. Almost, but if there is way that I can make it happen it's on my list. I have put it out there into the Universe. Or in other words...I ask Father to make a way where I don't see one. Either way-love you and your beloved wife's content. It's absolutely beautiful.
hello, im just a young teenager so i cant really grow a beard but i know ill grow up and i have faith maybe i can in the future. i love to hear your stories, i love to hear that someone in 2023 is trying to bring the old ways back. i wanna move to an old fashioned town when im older, i wanna wear a cowboy hat and own farms maybe. just love to see how the old days were and thanks for showing us that through your videos.
im 22 years old and growing out my beard for the 2nd time,with my beard i feel more calm and collected and it keeps me safe from the cold wind, Men are meant to have beards its a God given gender distinction between men and women, any man and young man that is capable of growing a beard should grow it and keep it!
I would love to see a comeback of hats as well! My grandfather always wore a white Stetson "open road" hat. He also wore a black eye patch which put him in a distinguishing class all his own. A man among men!
When COVID came and everything shut down, including church, I decided it was time to grow my first (and only) beard. I had been self conscious about growing a beard and I’m susceptible to skin issues because I’m fair skinned and I didn’t like the wrinkles 68 years did to my face. I’ve been blessed with good genetics and I’ve yet to be criticized about my beard plus, most of my compliments come from the ladies. Dewayne’s advice on growing a beard is spot on but mine I got from the Beardbrand channel as well as their products. Thanks Dewayne, beard on!
This video is hilarious. I got the notification for it while I was shaving, which I haven't done in about a month and a half. The best advice I can give is let it grow and experiment. A super long beard isn't for everyone. I had it, it was a lot of maintenance and felt dirty alot of the time and quite frankly didn't look that good on me. I keep it just a bit shorter than aquaman now and that's the only way I like it.
I'll be 28 in June and I've had a full beard since I was 19. It's about the length of yours, except I haven't trimmed the ends in a handful of years. I've just let it go. I mow grass in the summertime in mid-west Missouri and people always assume I must be miserable. I tell them it really isn't bad! Every winter, I'm glad I've still got it. I oil it and comb it out every morning and I've not bought shaving cream or razors since I was 18 or so. Saving money and a majority of my face from prolonged sun exposure! Take care, Dewayne.
As a woman, I obviously cannot, and thankfully cannot, grow a beard, but I do admire when real men grow beards. Not those meticulous fashion beards, but real manly beards. I enjoyed this video and will be sharing it. As a young person still trying to get a full set of tack that fits all the different horses I work, I have a question. What cinch sizes do you have/use, or 3 cinch sizes fit the widest range of horses in your experience? Thank you.
Even though having a beard or not doesn't necessarily define one's masculinity it definitely screams attention. "I personally believe if you're going to grow it make it look good"! God bless & thanks again for some awesome content..
I appreciate you sir. This is all stuff I have been raised on and it’s good to hear it from someone else. Praying for you. We need more and more unashamed good men in the world. It would solve alot of our problems.
As a woman, I appreciate the hearing a man's point of view. Ought to try a tiny. And I mean tiny drop of castor oil on your hand and rub it thru. You can add essential oils to it. Keeps a shine and helps it grow better. Looks washed even after a week.
Hi Dwayne, I enjoy your channel and appreciate your focus on sharing life stories that have a message, especially to our younger generation. I was very fortunate growing up in a rural area in the 60’s with strong adult role models. It definitely helped shape me into a self reliant independent man. I like to think iv’e passed that along to my children, grand and great. I have wore a beard my entire life, and even though it’s now long and white it still brings me joy and nods of acknowledgment when I’m out and about. Thanks again for your time and stories!
Hey, Mr. Dewayne. I’m a newer fan, and one not even out of High School yet, and I find a lot of value in the videos you make. Im fascinated with the kind of life you’ve lived, if you can forgive the strangeness of such a statement. And I do a lot of looking back into the past and forward into the future. Whether it’s about the future of this nation or this world or my life, or something like growing a beard (something I greatly look forward to), I try to plan and examine and consider everything in a meaningful way, and to that end, I’m very grateful for the wisdom that you share. Thank you, sir. Also, you’ve helped me win a little dispute with my mom about whether or not shaving makes a beard grow faster, so thanks for that too!
I myself cannot grow a beard as I am one of your female subscribers. I do appreciate a good beard, a masculine man. I too have mentioned how men used to all wear hats everyday, it was just a thing they did. I miss seeing them and am glad to see any man or woman sporting a great hat. Stay well !
I like that man. Experience and wisdom. I just got a hearcut and a beard trimm because my mother was on her deathbed. I felt I should look respectable when spending the last precious moments with her. Rest in peace and thank you for everything. Anyway I have about half my beard cut off and I kinda like it this way, looks cleaner. And I agree on the hat comeback.
My wife is not a big fan of my beard but each winter we talk and I grow it out alittle more. I had a go tee when we met 17 years ago and that’s what she likes but when the weather gets cold I got to have some more cover for the face. I think a few more years and I will have her used to see the beard and go all out and not trim at all for a winter. My dad has always had a beard and it a signature thing in the winter to have a good beard in my book. Great video Sir. Appreciate and always enjoy your video. Thinking pretty hard on trying me a cigar here before to long. Have a blessed day and keep God shining in all your videos.
This is the best sponsor plug I have ever seen. I had no idea I even needed a man to man beard video... when that Manscape plug dropped I was pretty jolly. Cheers man, keep em comin'
I am 23. I've been attempting to grow a beard since I was 19. Haven't been very successful as it has always been patchy and terrible. Lol. However, I've never given it more than a month and a half before I've shaved it off. 3 months. I have to give that a shot. Love all of your content and couldn't ever thank you enough for all your amazing advice Dwayne. Thank you. 🙏
Heard guys say that rubbing castor oil into the beard (eyebrows and eyelashes too) helps to grow it, and keeps the hair healthy. Being female I haven’t a beard to know about that 😂 BUT, it has definitely helped my eyelashes. So . . . Might work for your beard! 👍🏼
Last two times my beard saw any trimming was due to unfortunate incidents in the knife forge. Maybe that's my indication from now on that it has gotten to capacity and it's time for a trim. Been happily bearded since high school.
Wel I am not a beard person but still I liked this video, just as all your other videos. I like them all because you are always right to the point, and it all makes sense. In fact you are the first man on TH-cam were I really look up to. Thanks so far for guiding me true some difficult times and helping me to find the man again inside myself. I send you some love from small little Belgium (Europe) Thanks 👍
This video got me thinking about my perception of my life and also how people perceive me in which for the longest time I thought I didn't care but my mother and dad bluntly told me one day, "I know you're going to not like this but.... you truly do care about what people think about you." and the more time passes on, I realize they are correct. Now the catch point...: I've worn different outfits throughout the years and styles and the ones that make me feel more respectable and I get compliments the most is when I wear my country clothes..... like you wear in your videos. The problem is..... I do not live a country lifestyle and after about a year of gathering more items to complete my cowboy "look", I just truly felt fake but I do love the outfit... always have since I was a young'yen. What you said in this video reminded me of things I've heard off and on since I stopped wearing the cowboy outfit and what I've read online....... being a cowboy aint just about what your occupation is, it's a way of life. I've become a rude-ish, spoiled city man-boy over the years and I was NOT brought up that way. Matter in fact, I want to knock the snot out of young people who behave like that. It's a battle within myself because I know right from wrong and the 2 sides fight each other. What I'm trying to say is, I've still got some more maturing and self-awareness to do that you have spoken of in your videos that I've watched for about a year off and on now. Thank you for being an inspiring MAN to look up to!!
as a young man whos beard finally filled in. thank you for this! Also, if someone compares you to Arthur Morgan it is almost certainly a compliment. He is the greatest fictional character to ever be created
I usually skip the sponsorship but i knew you would give an honest opinion about it. Everyone is sponsored by manscaped these days but this is the first time i have considered buying from them. Thank you for doing your part to restore manhood to the country.
I’ve been growing mine since Christmas. The mustache isn’t as full and thick as I would like but it’s getting there. The rest is coming along nicely. I’ve also decided to grow my hair out as well. Thanks for the great videos and inspiration. God bless you brother.
I downloaded a bunch of your episodes from your Podcast channel and I just finished listening to "My Carnivore Diet Journey", so I went to Rumble then here on TH-cam to find it so I could make a comment but it is on neither platforms. I am a 63 year old woman and have an autoimmune disease. A few years ago I came across Mikhaila Peterson talking about her 'Lion Diet' to cure her autoimmune disease and depression. The Lion Diet is strictly meat, salt, and water (now she has added electrolytes). Then I started listening to Dr. Ken Berry for the last few months about the Carnivore Diet I decided to try it. I ate just butter, beef and eggs for 2 or 3 days and I felt greater than I did in years in just that little time. People might think, 'oh it's just all in your head you can't feel better in a couple of days', it was not in my head because one of the syptoms of this disease is severe brainfog when under stress and switching diet and the cost associated with going strictly beef was a great stressor and my brain was clearer than it had been for years and I had no pain. But the cravings were great and I began with little cheats until I fell right off the wagon. I still eat meat and eggs and I added cauliflower and cabbage...but I still have my cheats. So the autoimmune disease I have causes allergic reactions to normal things or things I have taken or eaten or been around for most of my life, medications like aspirin or anything with salicylate in it and anything that has a penicillin (ie amoxicillin) in it is a no go for me, I go into anaphylaxis. Most food is out as well as environmental things I have to avoid. So going by the diet prescribed for my condition was not working. I am 5' 1" (yes the 1" is important) and weigh between 124-126 lbs but you'd have never known it by the bloating and water retention. After more investigation after I began the Carnivore died I found out that I shouldn't have any food that has Salicylates or Oxalates, so that cut my food down to meat as long as it is not aged so it's freezer to table, Golden Delicious Apples, Cauliflower, Cabbage (raw or boiled, not steamed), coffee and water, so now even with the cheats the bloating is gone and the water retention. If people can't take aspirin then they shouldn't eat food with Salicylates in it either and our western diet has overloaded us with Oxalates...so that is something else people can check out for their diet plans.
Almost a year growing my grey beard. Trimmed it once by a barber and almost cut it off. I drink water all day, lots of protein and have lost over 70 lbs by not eating bad foods. All of this has helped the beard grow. About as long as you have and has taken this long to finally look good. Beard oils and butters work good, different types for different areas.
I travel quite a bit at least twice a week on long mountainous windy roads of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia and I absolutely love listening to your podcasts, sir! Thanks a bunch!
I use Dr. Bronners soap for everything. Then I apply an apple cider vinegar solution (about 2 ounces in about 8 ounces of filtered water) to my hair and beard. Only use a little, not the whole thing. It works pretty well. I do that every 2 or 3 days. I also use beard oil, and once in a while a beard balm. Excellent video! Thanks!!
For those bearded folk on a budget, I highly recommend Honest Amish! I've been using their oil for years and you can find it in Walmart nowadays, but they also sell really good balms and soaps online!
I appreciate the approach to this video. I’ve been back and forth about my beard, whether to grow it or keep it short. A lot of it has been thinking I am trying to be trendy, but this video helped remind me that it’s in my DNA. Now I don’t have a thick beard, it’s more fine with some gaps, but it’s mine. God made me to have hair on my face, and why shouldn’t I honor that? Thanks Dwayne! God bless.
My beard is a bit bigger than yours and I use beard shampoo once or twice a week. I put oil on it about three times a week and I use conditioner occasionally. The beard is the first thing people notice about me and occasionally I get asked why. I tell them that in the animal world males are identified by manes, horns, antlers and colorful plumage. A beard is the human equivalent. I get compliments on in from ladies all the time, and have had a few men admit that it makes them a bit jealous. I love your channel the world needs more content like this. Ride safe amigo.
I’m growing out my beard now and get hate for it daily but either way it’s my life to live so I only have to keep me and my woman happy as far as I’m concerned!
Thanks Bro., useful talk, appreciate your time. My wife doesn't like my beard, it's stiff and scratchy. But, as you said, it's never been a demand that I shave, just her preference, which I usually submit to for her comfort. But, we're older now, so I think I may grow it out again., even if only to resist against the cultural tide.
Good Stuff. Full beard here. Yes I were a few different hats too. I like a hat as I do have thinning hair. The hat protects my head. Enjoying your videos . I take what o need from them. I have just started to watch . Good Stuff thank you
I agree sir, I appreciate your videos and encouragement that you share. I have had to shave for the last 20 years and recently have been blessed to where I will never have to again. Keep being the true man you are sir and thank you again.
I love sticking around thru to the end of your videos when you're winding it down, "rambling" as you call it, cuz there's often just little nuggets you share or show about yourself. This one of "not changing your ways cuz some online stranger says they don't like this or that" just reaffirms you're a man of convictions n principles. Already knew that but just fun to see different examples in off the cuff ways. Cheers
I have tried for years to grow a decent beard! When I hit menopause, I thought, oh good, now I am going to grow a beard! Nope, still no beard. Bummer. I guess I'm just going to have to leave it up to you guys. Go for it! :) Seriously though, I'm with you on the manly man thing. 100%. I've been married to one for just shy of 38 years and glad of it.
“The only water I drink is filtered water. it’s filtered through coffee grounds” that’s hilarious I’ll have to steal that one from ya Dwayne.
Wow I just got it 🤣
@@Triay314 I had to think about it for a second as well. had to rewind and listen to it again 😂
It's absolutely epic. I'm stealing it to use it in my novels.
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

You are a real true grit man brother. Thank you for changing our lives and teaching us about life. Thank you brother.
Yeah you better learn man because this world does not like black males at all lol
Ay man we just all learning about getting through life

“Mama loves the beard” haha thanks for the smiles Dwayne.
I love how he can turn growing a beard into a lesson that spans across all areas of your life.
To me Dewayne is like the wise cowboy that gives advice to the main character who's lost in life.
Good point 👍

in a world where i hear daily i should shave, i am happy to have a few moments where someone makes me feel normal for having a beard as long as yours. Thank you. Most beard talks on you tube are not from men like you, but from those...glamour men. Feels stupid to say, but thank you.
if you have time to have a look good for you, but i feel it should be more acceptable for men to take care of themselves better from 40 to 80 years old.
we work in to busy and dirty of an environment to keep beards on our farm. cutting torch burn it, frozen or just trying to clean whats already here. not that its anything other than that.
beard people arent thought of as a people, because if you live with a dirty one youll be remembered for it. prefer handlebar mustache.
I’m 28 and having trouble growing a full beard..
100% 👍🤠👍
Healthy diet... Exercise... And take pre.. pro... And post biotics for your digestive tract.
Hope this helps. In my opinion it makes a difference. 👍👍
Tell em to worry about their facial hair. Me? I'm going for the 'guan yu look' lol
I had a 9 month growth, looked identical to yours (mustache and all) and I was forced to trim it this morning for a job interview. My beard has always been my signature, and men and women alike compliment it out in public a few times per week. It's a point of pride. I make my own beard oil and keep it well manicured and presentable. It's a majestic thing and I take full advantage of the blessing of being able to have a beard just like yours.
I did get the job, the interview went swimmingly! I'm in the trades, so i'll be growing it right back out as I realized they didn't mind. Just... first impressions, ya never know.
Oh man. It'll be back before you know it
You gotta wonder though if it really even mattered or not having the beard. Especially in the trades.
Let it grow bro 👍👍
Got myself an interview in 3 days in the trades! Due to patchiness, I am going to have to shave it off for now. But afterward, I'm going to let it grow myself!
This is just my personal advice, but don’t do that sort of thing for a job interview. The likely effect is to reduce your confidence, which makes it seem like you aren’t sure you can do the job. Fortunately that apparently didn’t happen to you.
"If you shave your beard or trim your beard it grows back faster, no it don't it just goes away", Dwayne you have a way of putting things into perspective and making us smile and chuckle.
It's so nice to see that real men still exist. In a world that is tearing men down at every corner it is nice to see some still standing tall and firm in their masculinity! You VERY much can be gentle and have a beard!! I would love to see beards make a come back along with hats and self respect!!
Not looking to grow a beard anytime soon (female subscriber here) I stayed and enjoyed the conversation anyway. Thanks for being a light in an ignorant world, Sir. God bless! Headed over to Momma's channel now.
Agree!
God bless you too ❤
@missaloha
Dude, if you did grow a beard & start a channel you’d be praised by ALL the tiktok’rs & becoma a bajillionaire in like 4 hours.... food for though. #jk 😂😂
Something about men with beards. On behalf of most ladies, please grow it out. ❤
We love you Uncle Dwayne, don't listen to the negative haters in the world. You've got tons of people here that love what you do and have been with you since the beginning. Please keep the good stuff coming brother.
I’m a 20 year old woman and I absolutely love beards😍. I encourage more men to grow them out. Listen to this guy.
As a bearded man. I will say if you choose to grow your beard out wear it with pride and take care of it . If you take care of it and have confidence in who you are and are a respectful man and a good man you will get endless compliments on it. The beard doesn't make the man but it is a exclamation point on him. My Dad was a self sufficient bearded man and I had many bearded men in my family that were good men. So as a kid I aways said one day I'll be a man and have my own beard. Be you 💯 and you will be your best because of it. My wife did not prefer my beard long at first but as she seen me take pride in it and the care I put in it she has come around and loves it now. So you do you and make your mark in the world brothers.
I'm a seventeen year old, and I just found your channel. It might not be targeted to me, but your lessons are very interesting and I genuinely enjoy tuning into your channel. You gained a subscriber lmao.
Still young don't rush adulthood it's not what you think
I recently turned 30, I wish I had this kind of content when I was as young as you. Luckily, I have a fantastic father in my life. I hope you do too! But some extra insight is never a bad thing.
My dude, I am a 29 year old and I wish I had someone telling me these things when I was about your age.
Dang! You got your whole life ahead of you!
Perfect age to be listening to Dwayne
I started shaving at age 11. Kids in high school thought I was a narc when I’d have a 5 o’clock shadow in third period. I quit shaving at 23. I’m 34 now, and my wife’s only seen my clean shaven face twice in the last 7 years.
As far as the itch goes, the trick is to not shave, but just trim it back with some electric clippers…not to the skin. Maybe 1 or 2 millimeters, but definitely not clean shaven. The itch will go away.
Also, not being a wimp helps.
I liked how you discussed liberty in a marriage, and that aside from immorality, both spouses should have the liberty to dress and look as they see fit. Such a reasonable and well articulated outlook on the subject, and I wish more people had such an outlook.
Over the years I've grown my beard and shaved it off. I've noticed in the summertime here in Pa that having a beard actually keeps my face cooler. Have you that noticed that Dwayne? All my Amish friends grow a beard when they get married and keep it for life.
I'm a 64 year old horseshoer , I will be starting radiation treatments soon for prostate cancer. I hope I don't lose my beard
God bless you man
@John Clark
Brother, you’ll NEVER lose what your beard represents. If we were to ever cross paths in real life, I’d automatically see you with that beard. Put that worry where it belongs; in the crapper. There’s nothing but time to get it back, and for now just focus on the fact that you’re gonna WHOOP CANCER’s ASS! Have a blessed day, my Brother 👊🏽
Sending up prayers of gratitude & healing for you & your family.
I sorry to hear that. I hope you don't lose it as well. I am 71 year old retired field archaeologist myself who has worked in the Desert for nearly 40 years.
Yeah it’s cooler. The sweat and wind act as a little ac unit, and the beard actually shades the face from the sun.
I was in a relationship for years where I couldn't grow my beard. It sounds cheesy but I am now doing what I want with me. 🎉
Kind of like the Robertson’s..
You Sir are certainly allowed to talk about beards! Respect!
You practice what you preach and I Love it.
Outstanding human you are! Excellent beard too...
I just wanted to let you know that I am not a horse person or a cowboy but I watch every video because of your wisdom and views on life,, I live in Ware Massachusetts.
As a bearded man of over 20 years I say thanks for putting this message out there. I stopped worrying years ago about my imagine and what people think of it. Image is all for show. Character development is where it's at. Just be yourself. Be real and God Bless!!
"Shouldn't've kicked the dog as I walked by" as we all have done on occassion. Respect and dignity is waning however you my friend can help in making us aware of that and encouraging us to return to it. Good Morning Dwayne from Corpus Christi, TX, thank you for being you and giving us life lessons for ourselves and to pass on to others.
Plus, in the winter months, a beard helps retain moisture for the skin! Especially in Canadian winters.
How cold does it actually get in Canada? I’ve heard it gets so cold you have to keep your car running at night because it’ll freeze to death otherwise.
@@shawndonq135 more like plug it in if outside to a block heater.
@@springfield03sniper ohhhh ok
@@shawndonq135 it can drop to -30 C -40 C in some areas of Canada
@@shawndonq135 It depends province by province bro!
But usually, -15 Celsius to -40 is common across the country. Factor in the wind chill and it becomes deadly sometimes.
The car running thing. No, nothing like that haha, not that serious.
This is gotta be my favorite video ever. Watching it for my 3rd time now. The only reason I got TH-cam premium was to listen too your videos while I work. I’m a tree farmer working a farm by myself. My brother had to quit because of an unusual case of chrons disease. Listening too your videos has changed my life around. I’m growing a beard now because you’re right about it!
Thanks for posting. I’m a bearded man and will stay that way. Not everyone likes it but I wear it for me.
Been waiting for this one. About time. Been growing mine for 14 months now. 💪🏼been growing on and off since I was 20. Never have to wear a face mask in the winter. I live up in Canada and it gets to -50C with the wind. Working on top of a 200 foot grain elevator as a welder it can keep you warm, or to warm if ya start it on fire hahah 😅 had to start trimming it to fit my welding lid. But now I’m 36 and I’m just a artistry bumming around. I got maybe a couple inches on ya UNC! But ya got me beat with the thickness. Some days I feel like that pine tree you talk about but, I’ll keep eating more protein haha Nice oak tree thanks for all the guidance. Was a broken man just 6 years ago and this last year your videos have help me tremendously. Never had a father. If I could have one I’d ask for a man like you. Nice to have more men coming out and encouraging us to be better men ourselves. Much love and ✊🏼
Morning Art !! The comment on keeping warm by lighting the beard got me rolling...😂🤣 Cheers from Houghton Lake Michigan..
@@pkope6849 hahaha glad I could help with that. The smell of burnt hair lasts for a good month. Don’t even need the scented beard balm. Haha much love Lake Michigan. ✊🏼
I’ve read articles that say rubbing castor oil into your beard, eyebrows and eyelashes will make them not only grow but also keep the hair healthy. -Maybe will work for you and other men?
I like that the old greek philosophers grew beards as a way to express patience and wisdom. To me a beard is a great representation of that. I’m not sure that means it’s a needed thing to grow, but that’s just what I think whenever I see someone with a beard.
I haven’t shaved in 30+ years. I can’t think of a bigger waste of time than to shave one day just to have to do it again the next. I trim my beard every six months to five years and manage just fine.
When I was living up in North Dakota last year, folks would recognize and remember me by my beard, which is black and not all that common of a natural beard color up in NoDak. I’d get mistaken for an actor or athlete whenever I’d go to the honky tonk. One night, I told a gal my name and she couldn’t remember it, so she went on to call me “lumberjack” from that night on.
All in all, my beard carries cultural significance in addition to it being a part of my identity. It serves a purpose in my line of work, protecting me from the elements: from snow and subzero temps in NoDak to trail dust and the scorching Arizona sun. I’m proud of what I’ve got and what I can grow. It was good to see you shed light on this topic, Dewayne.
😮 I love my beard. I'm with you. Not a crybaby 😢 like now days people. Smoke it forget them we don't need them and not brain washed. I really enjoy the clips you have! And we don't want the new kinda life. So sad and poking and soft. I'm really glad I'm not alone. They are thinning us out. 55 years old and PROUD JUST LIKE MY FAMILY BEFORE ME. TIM A REAL MAN. THANK YOU SIR!!!
My white 4yr beard looks like ZZTop.
I’m 6’3, and with my Cowboy Hat - I tell you what, BEST decision ever..!!!
Every MAN should grow it long once..!
Your beard is BADASS Dwayne…! 😎
I watch your channel a lot because your campfire philosophy aligns with my own. I don't have an active channel at all, but if I did, I would want it to relay much of the same information and life skills that your own does. GREAT job, sir! I think the advice you give is much needed among men in our Nation. I'm a 61-year-old male out of the Arkansas Ozarks, retired from a lifetime of uniforms (Army, Air Force & career Law Enforcement) who also smokes a pipe. Since retirement 10 years ago, I have worn and enjoyed a beard anywhere from a "heavy goatee" to a full beard that looks very similar to yours for this past year. Your philosophy and life lessons resonate loudly among us all. God bless you and "Mama" and may your channel find even more success as you ride down the trail of life.
Hello Dewayne!
I agree 100% that a partner should leave freedom of choice regarding shaving or not, or having long or short hair.
And yes, a man can have a beard and have gentle manners at the same time.
My dad passed away in 2012, and in the 46 years that I knew him I never saw him in a t-shirt. I'm 58 now and agree with you on the beards and the hats - I wear a hat more often than not. I grew up in a surf culture, so t-shirts and flip flops are a part of my being - I feel very comfortable in them - although it's flannel shirts and boots when I am at my cabin in Canada. I'm with you on the filtered coffee; also like the occasional cigar; and celebrate the water of life in a good single malt.
Dwayne, I love your videos, I love your voice. Your calm nature. I'm from Dublin, I've had a beard for many years and over here it's rare unless you are a hipster but I'm a man in your shade, A family man and a man of independence. Please keep up what you do. I watch your videos when I have time for a cigar . Craig . Dublin, Ireland
On behalf of all good men everywhere, we thank you Dewayne!💯
Great video as a bearded older man agree,growing a beard takes patience,my routine is simple wash mine with beard shampoo & beard oil 3 times a week,beard balm daily to control frizz,keep your beard Dwyane & enjoy
Agreed i oil mine everyday and use beard butter also and my favorite oil co is the Luxurious Bastard
I've known my husband for 47 years and have only seen his chin once. Both our sons also have full beards and all 3 can grow them really fast.
As a man and lifelong beard-wearer, I concur with this message.
As someone who’s had a beard continuously for over 3 decades I can attest to your advice given here. Keep it clean, combed, and treated. I use beard balm more to lubricate the skin underneath and it has virtually eliminated the bearddruf I used to get. The historical heroes I had as a kid were for the most part bearded, so that inspired me originally. That plus the fact that it just naturally there meant to me that I shouldn’t fight nature. Now it’s just become part of who I am.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard . . . Psalm 133
From one bearded brother to another...when in doubt grow it out! Looking mighty fine sir
Your comments are always something to think about. Most times I agree with you not unlike this video. We NEED to get our manhood back. Men and women are different and that’s ok. IMO.
Right with you on the beards and the hats ( full brimmed). A vest is aslo a often worn piece of clothing. Keep up the good work!
16 years old and for the last 2 or 3 years whenever I’d see hair coming on my face I’d always just trim it off right away cause I thought people would think I looked cleaner and more together if I did, I never actually wanted to really. But about a month ago I just decided to let it grow because I wanted to do what I truly wanted for myself and see it as a manly look. Thanks for your wisdom on things Dewayne always making me feel more sure of everything
Don’t discount waiting. If you can grow a beard at 16 great, but sometimes the testosterone is busy doing other things at that age and it takes until your 20s for the beard to really come in.
As long you don’t look homeless, rock it however you can
@@ChevalierdeJohnstone yea I don’t expect it to show up overnight. And i even think just stubbles are cool
Dwayne, this Ole man got a good chuckle & loved the Dat Beard😊. In my younger years, I would, like you noted, occasionally cut mine off: sans mustache. But, my kids; who are in their early 40s, haven't seen me without my beard, since they were toddlers.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, Thanks for the chat.
Amazing how the same words can be used to discuss how to live your life.
Thanks Dwayne
I have always seen it as a badge of righteousness in a way. It's biblical. Contrary to the way of the world now it's actually very attractive and very manly as it should be. So glad to have found you guys videos. Love ya both. Your a treasure.
I would almost give my right arm to come to your school for 5 days. Almost, but if there is way that I can make it happen it's on my list. I have put it out there into the Universe. Or in other words...I ask Father to make a way where I don't see one. Either way-love you and your beloved wife's content. It's absolutely beautiful.
I'm 37 have had a good beard in some capacity for 20 years, love the message in this one.
as a lady i love the long beards, keep growing the beards fellas
Thank you
hello, im just a young teenager so i cant really grow a beard but i know ill grow up and i have faith maybe i can in the future. i love to hear your stories, i love to hear that someone in 2023 is trying to bring the old ways back. i wanna move to an old fashioned town when im older, i wanna wear a cowboy hat and own farms maybe. just love to see how the old days were and thanks for showing us that through your videos.
im 22 years old and growing out my beard for the 2nd time,with my beard i feel more calm and collected and it keeps me safe from the cold wind, Men are meant to have beards its a God given gender distinction between men and women, any man and young man that is capable of growing a beard should grow it and keep it!
I would love to see a comeback of hats as well! My grandfather always wore a white Stetson "open road" hat. He also wore a black eye patch which put him in a distinguishing class all his own. A man among men!
Agreed!
When COVID came and everything shut down, including church, I decided it was time to grow my first (and only) beard. I had been self conscious about growing a beard and I’m susceptible to skin issues because I’m fair skinned and I didn’t like the wrinkles 68 years did to my face. I’ve been blessed with good genetics and I’ve yet to be criticized about my beard plus, most of my compliments come from the ladies. Dewayne’s advice on growing a beard is spot on but mine I got from the Beardbrand channel as well as their products. Thanks Dewayne, beard on!
I got a laugh out of your filtered water joke, as a bearded coffee drinking man I appreciate it
This video is hilarious. I got the notification for it while I was shaving, which I haven't done in about a month and a half. The best advice I can give is let it grow and experiment. A super long beard isn't for everyone. I had it, it was a lot of maintenance and felt dirty alot of the time and quite frankly didn't look that good on me. I keep it just a bit shorter than aquaman now and that's the only way I like it.
I'll be 28 in June and I've had a full beard since I was 19. It's about the length of yours, except I haven't trimmed the ends in a handful of years. I've just let it go. I mow grass in the summertime in mid-west Missouri and people always assume I must be miserable. I tell them it really isn't bad! Every winter, I'm glad I've still got it. I oil it and comb it out every morning and I've not bought shaving cream or razors since I was 18 or so. Saving money and a majority of my face from prolonged sun exposure!
Take care, Dewayne.
As a woman, I obviously cannot, and thankfully cannot, grow a beard, but I do admire when real men grow beards. Not those meticulous fashion beards, but real manly beards. I enjoyed this video and will be sharing it. As a young person still trying to get a full set of tack that fits all the different horses I work, I have a question. What cinch sizes do you have/use, or 3 cinch sizes fit the widest range of horses in your experience? Thank you.
Even though having a beard or not doesn't necessarily define one's masculinity it definitely screams attention. "I personally believe if you're going to grow it make it look good"! God bless & thanks again for some awesome content..
I appreciate you sir. This is all stuff I have been raised on and it’s good to hear it from someone else. Praying for you. We need more and more unashamed good men in the world. It would solve alot of our problems.
As a woman, I appreciate the hearing a man's point of view.
Ought to try a tiny. And I mean tiny drop of castor oil on your hand and rub it thru.
You can add essential oils to it.
Keeps a shine and helps it grow better. Looks washed even after a week.
Hi Dwayne, I enjoy your channel and appreciate your focus on sharing life stories that have a message, especially to our younger generation. I was very fortunate growing up in a rural area in the 60’s with strong adult role models. It definitely helped shape me into a self reliant independent man. I like to think iv’e passed that along to my children, grand and great. I have wore a beard my entire life, and even though it’s now long and white it still brings me joy and nods of acknowledgment when I’m out and about. Thanks again for your time and stories!
Hey, Mr. Dewayne. I’m a newer fan, and one not even out of High School yet, and I find a lot of value in the videos you make. Im fascinated with the kind of life you’ve lived, if you can forgive the strangeness of such a statement. And I do a lot of looking back into the past and forward into the future. Whether it’s about the future of this nation or this world or my life, or something like growing a beard (something I greatly look forward to), I try to plan and examine and consider everything in a meaningful way, and to that end, I’m very grateful for the wisdom that you share. Thank you, sir.
Also, you’ve helped me win a little dispute with my mom about whether or not shaving makes a beard grow faster, so thanks for that too!
I myself cannot grow a beard as I am one of your female subscribers. I do appreciate a good beard, a masculine man. I too have mentioned how men used to all wear hats everyday, it was just a thing they did. I miss seeing them and am glad to see any man or woman sporting a great hat. Stay well !
I like that man. Experience and wisdom.
I just got a hearcut and a beard trimm because my mother was on her deathbed.
I felt I should look respectable when spending the last precious moments with her. Rest in peace and thank you for everything.
Anyway I have about half my beard cut off and I kinda like it this way, looks cleaner.
And I agree on the hat comeback.
Gentlemen, Nothing wrong with a beard, a pipe or a cigar! 😊 carry on gentlemen!
My wife is not a big fan of my beard but each winter we talk and I grow it out alittle more. I had a go tee when we met 17 years ago and that’s what she likes but when the weather gets cold I got to have some more cover for the face. I think a few more years and I will have her used to see the beard and go all out and not trim at all for a winter. My dad has always had a beard and it a signature thing in the winter to have a good beard in my book.
Great video Sir. Appreciate and always enjoy your video. Thinking pretty hard on trying me a cigar here before to long.
Have a blessed day and keep God shining in all your videos.
This is the best sponsor plug I have ever seen. I had no idea I even needed a man to man beard video... when that Manscape plug dropped I was pretty jolly. Cheers man, keep em comin'
I reckon at 64 I'm an old school woman that still loves seeing wise men with well taken care of beards, mustaches & long hair 😁
I am 23. I've been attempting to grow a beard since I was 19. Haven't been very successful as it has always been patchy and terrible. Lol. However, I've never given it more than a month and a half before I've shaved it off. 3 months. I have to give that a shot. Love all of your content and couldn't ever thank you enough for all your amazing advice Dwayne. Thank you. 🙏
Heard guys say that rubbing castor oil into the beard (eyebrows and eyelashes too) helps to grow it, and keeps the hair healthy. Being female I haven’t a beard to know about that 😂 BUT, it has definitely helped my eyelashes. So . . . Might work for your beard! 👍🏼
Last two times my beard saw any trimming was due to unfortunate incidents in the knife forge. Maybe that's my indication from now on that it has gotten to capacity and it's time for a trim. Been happily bearded since high school.
You're such an inspiration
Just keep on being who you are . It's that new society that sucks, not us men !!
Wel I am not a beard person but still I liked this video, just as all your other videos. I like them all because you are always right to the point, and it all makes sense. In fact you are the first man on TH-cam were I really look up to. Thanks so far for guiding me true some difficult times and helping me to find the man again inside myself. I send you some love from small little Belgium (Europe) Thanks 👍
This video got me thinking about my perception of my life and also how people perceive me in which for the longest time I thought I didn't care but my mother and dad bluntly told me one day, "I know you're going to not like this but.... you truly do care about what people think about you." and the more time passes on, I realize they are correct. Now the catch point...: I've worn different outfits throughout the years and styles and the ones that make me feel more respectable and I get compliments the most is when I wear my country clothes..... like you wear in your videos. The problem is..... I do not live a country lifestyle and after about a year of gathering more items to complete my cowboy "look", I just truly felt fake but I do love the outfit... always have since I was a young'yen. What you said in this video reminded me of things I've heard off and on since I stopped wearing the cowboy outfit and what I've read online....... being a cowboy aint just about what your occupation is, it's a way of life. I've become a rude-ish, spoiled city man-boy over the years and I was NOT brought up that way. Matter in fact, I want to knock the snot out of young people who behave like that. It's a battle within myself because I know right from wrong and the 2 sides fight each other. What I'm trying to say is, I've still got some more maturing and self-awareness to do that you have spoken of in your videos that I've watched for about a year off and on now. Thank you for being an inspiring MAN to look up to!!
i love this creature. A lot of appreciatiation and love from Denmark.
as a young man whos beard finally filled in. thank you for this! Also, if someone compares you to Arthur Morgan it is almost certainly a compliment. He is the greatest fictional character to ever be created
Thanks again for your content. I've been a beard and hat guy for at least 50 years and not likely to change.
I usually skip the sponsorship but i knew you would give an honest opinion about it. Everyone is sponsored by manscaped these days but this is the first time i have considered buying from them. Thank you for doing your part to restore manhood to the country.
This is one of your best videos of yours. Especially the last part. I live in Europe and I really love your channel! God bless you and your wife!
I’ve been growing mine since Christmas. The mustache isn’t as full and thick as I would like but it’s getting there. The rest is coming along nicely. I’ve also decided to grow my hair out as well. Thanks for the great videos and inspiration. God bless you brother.
My wife has never seen me without a long beard! Said if I cut it WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS! LOL! Mama loves the beard!
This man is the leader of the tribe of Whiskers. May we bearded boys learn to be bearded men as Cowboy Gandalf is and shall always be!
Cowboy Gandolf nice one 😂
I downloaded a bunch of your episodes from your Podcast channel and I just finished listening to "My Carnivore Diet Journey", so I went to Rumble then here on TH-cam to find it so I could make a comment but it is on neither platforms.
I am a 63 year old woman and have an autoimmune disease. A few years ago I came across Mikhaila Peterson talking about her 'Lion Diet' to cure her autoimmune disease and depression. The Lion Diet is strictly meat, salt, and water (now she has added electrolytes). Then I started listening to Dr. Ken Berry for the last few months about the Carnivore Diet I decided to try it. I ate just butter, beef and eggs for 2 or 3 days and I felt greater than I did in years in just that little time. People might think, 'oh it's just all in your head you can't feel better in a couple of days', it was not in my head because one of the syptoms of this disease is severe brainfog when under stress and switching diet and the cost associated with going strictly beef was a great stressor and my brain was clearer than it had been for years and I had no pain. But the cravings were great and I began with little cheats until I fell right off the wagon. I still eat meat and eggs and I added cauliflower and cabbage...but I still have my cheats.
So the autoimmune disease I have causes allergic reactions to normal things or things I have taken or eaten or been around for most of my life, medications like aspirin or anything with salicylate in it and anything that has a penicillin (ie amoxicillin) in it is a no go for me, I go into anaphylaxis. Most food is out as well as environmental things I have to avoid. So going by the diet prescribed for my condition was not working. I am 5' 1" (yes the 1" is important) and weigh between 124-126 lbs but you'd have never known it by the bloating and water retention. After more investigation after I began the Carnivore died I found out that I shouldn't have any food that has Salicylates or Oxalates, so that cut my food down to meat as long as it is not aged so it's freezer to table, Golden Delicious Apples, Cauliflower, Cabbage (raw or boiled, not steamed), coffee and water, so now even with the cheats the bloating is gone and the water retention. If people can't take aspirin then they shouldn't eat food with Salicylates in it either and our western diet has overloaded us with Oxalates...so that is something else people can check out for their diet plans.
Almost a year growing my grey beard. Trimmed it once by a barber and almost cut it off. I drink water all day, lots of protein and have lost over 70 lbs by not eating bad foods. All of this has helped the beard grow. About as long as you have and has taken this long to finally look good. Beard oils and butters work good, different types for different areas.
I travel quite a bit at least twice a week on long mountainous windy roads of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia and I absolutely love listening to your podcasts, sir! Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for making these videos, I think that so many of us including myself need to hear the insight that you have to offer.
I use Dr. Bronners soap for everything. Then I apply an apple cider vinegar solution (about 2 ounces in about 8 ounces of filtered water) to my hair and beard. Only use a little, not the whole thing. It works pretty well. I do that every 2 or 3 days. I also use beard oil, and once in a while a beard balm.
Excellent video! Thanks!!
For those bearded folk on a budget, I highly recommend Honest Amish! I've been using their oil for years and you can find it in Walmart nowadays, but they also sell really good balms and soaps online!
I appreciate the approach to this video. I’ve been back and forth about my beard, whether to grow it or keep it short. A lot of it has been thinking I am trying to be trendy, but this video helped remind me that it’s in my DNA. Now I don’t have a thick beard, it’s more fine with some gaps, but it’s mine. God made me to have hair on my face, and why shouldn’t I honor that? Thanks Dwayne! God bless.
My beard is a bit bigger than yours and I use beard shampoo once or twice a week. I put oil on it about three times a week and I use conditioner occasionally. The beard is the first thing people notice about me and occasionally I get asked why. I tell them that in the animal world males are identified by manes, horns, antlers and colorful plumage. A beard is the human equivalent. I get compliments on in from ladies all the time, and have had a few men admit that it makes them a bit jealous. I love your channel the world needs more content like this. Ride safe amigo.
I’m growing out my beard now and get hate for it daily but either way it’s my life to live so I only have to keep me and my woman happy as far as I’m concerned!
Good video sir, I growing my beard for me and not for someone else and I take care my beard and that’s all matters. You have good message 👏👏
Thanks Bro., useful talk, appreciate your time. My wife doesn't like my beard, it's stiff and scratchy. But, as you said, it's never been a demand that I shave, just her preference, which I usually submit to for her comfort. But, we're older now, so I think I may grow it out again., even if only to resist against the cultural tide.
I was just about trim my bread tomorrow but this just motivated me to let it keep growing
Good Stuff. Full beard here. Yes I were a few different hats too. I like a hat as I do have thinning hair. The hat protects my head. Enjoying your videos . I take what o need from them. I have just started to watch . Good Stuff thank you
I agree sir, I appreciate your videos and encouragement that you share. I have had to shave for the last 20 years and recently have been blessed to where I will never have to again. Keep being the true man you are sir and thank you again.
All the way from Barbados your video are life changing 🇧🇧
I love sticking around thru to the end of your videos when you're winding it down, "rambling" as you call it, cuz there's often just little nuggets you share or show about yourself.
This one of "not changing your ways cuz some online stranger says they don't like this or that" just reaffirms you're a man of convictions n principles.
Already knew that but just fun to see different examples in off the cuff ways.
Cheers
I have tried for years to grow a decent beard! When I hit menopause, I thought, oh good, now I am going to grow a beard! Nope, still no beard. Bummer. I guess I'm just going to have to leave it up to you guys. Go for it! :) Seriously though, I'm with you on the manly man thing. 100%. I've been married to one for just shy of 38 years and glad of it.
