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!
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❤️
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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! 😍
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.
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.
Thank you. This is a very easy instructional video to follow. I have the outline that has worked for me but, I'm aiming to make my look cleaner,. This video has shown me how to master that.
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!!!
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.
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
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!
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.
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! 👍

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.
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
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.
The "outline" cheek line part.. Do it once or twice then *stop* . Keeping "just a little more on this side" will destroy your beard. It will never be 100% the same on both sides. Also, beard oil isn't for the beard, it's for what's beneath it, your skin.
That's the truth; remove the less dense growth up the cheeks and then make MINOR adjustments on one side, check, then even more minor adjustments on the other side and stop there. Going any further risks really cutting into the growth area, no matter what.
However, beard oil can be used to seal in moisture.....that is....if you’re actually hydrating your beard. But you’re not wrong its for the skin as well
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.
Dgreenmissile I was never a big believer of people being able to grow/develop beard in their early 20’s till my close friend who never had pretty much the slightest of beard like the tiniest hair you can think of in high school is able to grow a beard now. 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
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.
Excellent video, thanks for that! One thing though, after applying the beard oil you suggest a natural bristle brush. Won’t the brush remove oil as you’re brushing?
@@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.
If your growing your beard out, do you still trim the fly-aways? Or just let them grow till they're heavy enough to fall down? Becuase you want all the hairs as long as possible right?
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.
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.
@@dudet9662 ...? That was uncalled for...
This is one of the easiest to follow and best beard trimming instruction vids on youtube...cheers man
Agreed, and i have watched way too many of them
Many thanks for your tutorial 👌

Thank you for this. I was wondering!
Thanks, I was also searching for this. Should be in the vid description at the top.
You’re the real hero here bro
$220 for a trimmer. Yeah I'll my beard is just gonna have to deal without lol
when I grow up I want a beard just like that (I am 50)
Me too!
1 out of 10 people trying this end up with a clean shave. LOL
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.
Just used this to trim up my husband's waaaaay overgrown beard. I've never done it before, this was super helpful, thank you!
Agree. Watching now for this reason. 🤣🤣🤣

A woman here, don't know why I'm watching this but I can now help a gentleman out!
I could use your help 😉
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.
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! 😆
I just saw this video,
Got motivated,
Tried to trim,
Ended up with a clean shave.
Thank You 👍

@@mixxstix am o stupid or something why can’t i understand 😅
@@daniels1263 no no! He just calls it that.
I think you meant stubble, not beard
This dude trimming his beard with clothes on makes me uncomfortable
I think it would make me uncomfortable if I saw him without clothes on 😂😂😂😂
Because you like men lol 😂
@@rshak663 No because the hairs end up in the collar and inside of the shirt and it gets itchy and annoying.
Metaknightkirby2 I hear you
Definitely uncomfortable
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
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.
Great tutorial. I did it on 1st try and im not even looking 13 now. Thanks finally able to keep it in shape by myself
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.
