This is honestly the best video on the subject I've seen. The guy gets straight to the point and doesn't go on and on about the trimmer he's using. It seems like a lot of videos I find spend most of it just advertising some product that I can't afford. Also he goes over it in simple steps that are easy to understand.
I looked for a tutorial I could follow to take care of my husband’s beard. He had a few tragedies hit him and his side of the family rather closely together and it took its toll on him. You gave me a way to help him with something he couldn’t do for himself at the time. Thank you❤️
I guess I just got lucky and found this excellent video on the first try! I've had a beard for 25 years - and have worn out several trimmers - - but I learned lots. Great job!
So I grew my beard out for the first time in Covid, it’s got long and messy and I just look straight homeless. I was about to shave 90% off and start again but I thought I’ll give a TH-cam tutorial a try and see if I can actually make it look presentable. I feel like I legit just levelled up with this tutorial, what a change! Thank you so much!
I was struggling with this. I've tried trimming it myself pretty much always and end up having to cut it down to a small beard and starting over. I followed your steps with a small adjustment for my neck and it came out fantastic. Just have to take your time and follow your process. Thanks a ton man!
Growing up, my father never wore a beard so this was some hidden information for me. Thank you for putting together this video, I've been doing it all wrong for YEARS.
hands down one of the best videos. I got a pretty wild beard growth, and I'm too poor to go to a barber, I tried these methods and they're perfect in any way. Great video!
That was the most helpful beard trimming video I have seen. 42 and shaving every day since 20, sometimes twice a day. In December I said nope. Thanks for the reasonable tips. No buy my product, or spend money here. Thanks!
As someone who grew up with nobody who could show me how to use a shaver, this video really helped me to shape my beard properly and make it look a lot more adult like!
Thank you for such a thorough tutorial. I enjoy taking care of my husband's thick handsome long beard and this gave some great tips for shaping. Last few trims were letting the sides flow out, but trimming straight down the walls to form it nicer really gave him a sharp look! 😍
The BEST BEST video yet on TH-cam, first video I watched then I watched 4 different videos and went back to this one and watched the video as I was trimming the beard and it worked AMAZING
Beard Trimming can be danged tricky is right. I wish this video was around 30 years ago when I first started growing beards. All the mistakes I've made never would have happened. Thanks for this instructional video Matty Conrad! Good on ya' mate!
This video is so helpful, educational... anyone have any advice in regards to facemask comfort? I wear an N95 with a thick snowboarding gaiter over it, and I gotta believe somebody out there has the same issue, mask and gaiter keep riding up, I kinda just want to sew them together. Necessity is the mother of invention...Want to keep my beard yet also stay safe... Thank you for the video GQ.
Thanks for this. I'm so terrified I'm going to screw it up, but I can't just keep leaving it like I do. This is a valuable skill I really need to get to grips with. Wish me luck.
I know this is meant for men, but my dad is an older man who have been able to go to the barber shop due to this whole thing and now I know how to give his beard a trim, so thank you
Best advice ever, if people stuff up their beards by following this they havnt grown it out enough or they just can't use a trimmer properly. I have grown out my patchy beard (and it is patchy, uneven growth, thin sides and big patches) for 6 months, tried these tricks and succeeded though my cheeks were so thin compared to the rest I just couldn't get it to look neat and tidy, so I trimmed the bulk of it down to a number 8 and left the cheeks full and untouched, used these steps with a bit more shaping on the side and its perfect, couldn't ask for better.
Thank you for your video. I finally dared trimming my own beard after 2 years. Your tutorial was very clear and I'm pretty happy with the result. Cheers.
Super video! I really needed this last January when I ended up clean-shaven after using a trimmer for the first time in decades. Still, not a big problem. Beards grow back, and I learned some lessons. Awesome video! Definitely going to help me in the future.
I'm a new subscriber and am currently around 5 - 6 months into growing my beard. Had a light trim at around 4 months in. Was wondering if you could help me with some tips if I sent a photo or two? Thanks and stay healthy.
My beard is long as yours. I like to keep it long. But I want to keep my beard trimmed like you did. For this, I am willing to buy a trimmer. I found out trimmer is used for short hair and a clipper is used for long hair. I am confused about which one should I buy.
Beard oil is for the skin under the beard. Not the beard itself. You go up underneath the beard and apply to the skin as best as possible. Nothing wrong with some of the oil going in the beard, as it will naturally. But the bulk of it should be applied to the skin. It’s to replenish the natural oils we lose through washing, weather, sweat, etc. A beard butter is for the actual beard. Also I’d recommend a wooden comb over a pick. Solid instructional video otherwise, and great beard, brother.
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. I had good success with this although I went for a more rounded look on the beard than you did.
1 year ago i cut my 2 year beard to only 15mm left, jjust because I couldn't find a proper video, which explains - how to make the beard shape properly. Today I was again close to cut it, but saw the video and the result is great! Thank you A LOT!!!
I recommend for the outline below the ears to use two mirrors instead of pulling the beard sideways. You will see the line clearly and avoid cutting in holes. Good video
Matty, this is the second video of yours regarding beard care that I've seen. Awesome job man! You present the steps brilliantly. Yes a beard CAN change your life!
For me, This is the best beard video ever!! You answered everything question I had in one video and gave great tips for what I’m trying to achieve!! Thank you
I know I'm late to the party but, Matty, you're the man! I got a bit trigger happy with the shelf but in 10 mins you had my beard looking twice as good! Thanks! 👍
Thanks for this. I need a trim, my barber is closed but she has loaned me some clippers & i have a trimmer so I'm going to follow these tips, I have a job interview on Friday.
I’ve been conned into trimming my boyfriend’s Coronabeard and although I am still a tad nervous, I’m less so after watching this video. Thank you for such great instructions!
I would certainly consider Matty Conrad an expert on this subject. Awesome beard, something I will likely never have. Great instructional video, and I was somewhat surprised he didn't pitch any particular products.
To the point, clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much! Its always an awkward situation when you start having facial hair but don’t know how to care for it.
You have no idea how much this video helped me trim my fiancé's beard (his beard looks super similar to yours in color and shape!) Thank you so so much!!!

Hes 21, it’s not the strongest of beard but it’s still a beard and it’s getting stronger, wish u all the best bro!
I was getting ready to trim mine after 3 months first time growing one.. as good as I found the video to be... Think I'll wait for a barber to help me out before I take a chance of ruin it
I have a similar beard as you now. I do not possess the courage to take my clippers without a guard down my face. I simply lack this ability. So instead, I am watching videos of people who are more courageous than I.
What brand clipper and trimmer do you suggest? And where can I get them. I currently have a corded Andis T-Blade non adjustable clipper but sure would like to pick up a good quality adjustable cordless and a zero gap trimmer/outliner.
@@juliehansen1716 I think the editor got too distracted with all the bells and whistles. Less cuts with more in depths shots when he did the opposite side of what he just cut would have kept the proffesional feel as well less messy/distracting.
I was 25 when I started this video, I'm 12 now.
Lol🤣
Lmfao best comment ever
Bro I did not understand, can someone explain
zling cukko I think he screwed up and had to shave his beard off, now he’s looking like a 12 year old.
zling cukko This guy had a beard than he tried trimming it and messed up so he had to shave clean 😭😭😭 Hahahaha
This is the first time anyone has taught me how to shave, does this mean he’s my dad now?
Ask yo mom
I'd call him daddy
Yes.
@@philboudreaux9888 and that's why your dad does not love you.. think about it.

More like 8 out of 10
Exactly. That's why I always put guards on my trimmer.
Thats me smh.
Yup lol
Lost so many beards this way.
I’ve watched maybe 5+ other videos on beard trimming and this is for sure the best one
legit though hahaha
So I grew my beard out for the first time in Covid, it’s got long and messy and I just look straight homeless.

Me too!

hands down one of the best videos. I got a pretty wild beard growth, and I'm too poor to go to a barber, I tried these methods and they're perfect in any way. Great video!
Wtf what are you talking about? You do not have 5 dollars for a barber? Let me guess, the money for cigarettes is always there?
That was the most helpful beard trimming video I have seen. 42 and shaving every day since 20, sometimes twice a day. In December I said nope. Thanks for the reasonable tips. No buy my product, or spend money here. Thanks!
A woman here, don't know why I'm watching this but I can now help a gentleman out!
I could use your help 😉
Can. H help me 😅
It's weird to see someone fully clothed and wearing a hat. Trimming their face.
hahaha
And female?
Why it's weird
Idk, when you go out to the barber they dont take your shirt off lol
@@fatcat535 yeah but you aren't just wearing your shirt only. They put a covering on you.
Great video love your eye brows when you were doing it
Watching this to trim my boyfriend’s “writer’s” beard. Super helpful compared to others I’ve seen over the years.

34 and just now figured out how to do the interior properly. Leveling up.
I know this is meant for men, but my dad is an older man who have been able to go to the barber shop due to this whole thing and now I know how to give his beard a trim, so thank you
Laying the towel down is the major key to this whole process trust me...
Mauricio Ernesto I prefer newspaper or paper towel so it can be discarded easily without having to re-wash.
@@MrMiniMeister good idea the newspaper !
Take a trash bag, cut down both seams and lay it out over the sink.
Or just sweep it up ? Lol
Just vacuum it up, you animals! 😆

This was really helpful; bought myself a brush, comb and oil and managed to tidy my face up. Haven't perfected the 'shelf' yet! Thanks
Finally!!🏆 In the beginning of the whole beard trend more than ten years ago there were so many unhelpful instruction videos.

Dude, I had to correct my neck lines three times to make it look neat
Great video, just trimmed my beard and it came out a little shorter than i would have liked, but overall looks great for my first trim. Thanks!
Great video! This will help a lot of guys right now 👊 the trim methods all depend on the beard goal though, so keep that in mind fellas
Seeing your comment felt like running into you at the store. Lol.

For the interior thing where your moving downwards to get the stray hairs can you just use an electric razor?
