Fashion may come and go but a full bearded man is timeless 👍
No , it's trendy beard time
A beard is full time job, a big responsibility. It's almost mathematical, measurements, quantity, angles. I'm learning something new about men and their beards every day now. I have a new found respect for the Beard. I used to just admire a mans full beard and wanna touch it, I had no idea just how much goes into a sexy full beard. It's not just about growing it out and brushing it. It's almost mathematical, there are measurements, the quantity you want to remove, angles of the facial features, the size of the guards, the precision in a guard free trim, the steadiness of the hand, the confidence after the end result. How can you not love a man with a styled beard. A man who styles and cares for his beard is showing lady that he loves himself just as much as he loves her by gracing her with such an outstandingly trimmed beard.
I take my hat off to all men with beards. It makes you look dangerously sexy. Okay, I'm going to stop now.
Somebody is feeling hot 🥵... 😂
Great description on beards. I am going to start growing mines out. Thanks for the push
You can touch it anytime. 😉
Thank you love
@@machoman6969 that's so sad. I'm sorry you feel that way abt women. My condolences.
MAN I'm glad I found your guide after watching 4 other videos that didn't really apply to me. I'm long, going short same length as you, followed your #7 goatee area and #6 sides. Flattend the bottom and then shaped the jaw. It turned out exactly how I wanted! Wife's happy I'm happy! Big thanks brother!!
If only you could grow out a long beard every week.. Imagine all that content! Well done my friend!!
I've thought of that before, too 😆

@Tom Wise thank you
You are the man. I have been trying for a month to find someone who could teach me how to use my trimmer and you are the first guy I could easily follow. THANK YOU
Thanks bro. At 30 I am growing my beard for the first time. I went with an 8 instead of 7 and it turned out great.
After being "in the wild" for about two months, I was full Duck-Dynasty. I needed to get back to my usual Mil-Spec Operator beard (issued to me in Afghanistan), but the last time I went from long to short I ended up effing it up so bad I just took it all off, which was tragic. This vid was everything I needed, and nothing I didn't. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! I had a beard nearly as long as yours that I had let grow out for about six months. I had been wanting to trim it down, but had been putting it off as I do not know any good beard barbers near me. With the help of your video, I was able to successfully trim my beard down. Even got a few compliments from other people. Thanks again for this tutorial!
That’s really good to hear!
I'm 77 and since I started shaving at age 16 I've never grown a beard...until now. For the last 4 months I just stopped shaving. Well, as you can imagine, the beard looks like a squirrel's nest. My wife said, "Can't you do something with that thing?!" So I've been watching youtube videos and once I saw yours I need go no further. I will order that Wahl trimmer and follow your method. If I still look like something the cat dragged in, I'll shave the beard and go back to my old, boring routine of shaving 5 days a week.
What a fantastic video. Keep up the great work. Your patience and detailed instruction will serve everyone in their beard journey for years to come.
"It's hair... it grows back"
Me staring at my bald head.... RIP 🪦
🤣🤣 I mean the beard, not the head
@@GregBoswell428 🤣
Impressive transformation. You really do make the trims look easy! This came at just the right time as I will be trimming Saturday.
Very cool! I hope this helps
yo, I've always grown a beard fast but I've never let it actually grow out before. this was super helpful for taming that 2 month beard back into something cleaner that I liked. I really appreciate you covering the varying lengths for the sideburns, mustache etc since I always struggle with those, even when it's short
bookmarking this for future reference, ty!
Thanks very much for all of your videos. 4 months ago and at the age of 50 I decided I'd take a beard journey for the first time in my life. I got a ton of compliments on the new look. Well it was time for the first trim. I stumbled on this video and really helped out a lot. Your videos gave me the confidence that I could trim my beard myself. I'll check out your other videos on other ideas for the next trim.
Thank you! Let me know how it went.
I don't know why, but I enjoyed watching this so much that I wished I hadn't shaved my beard just to be able to trim it after watching this video.
I know what you mean. I've been there many times.
It grows back brother
@@GregBoswell428 do you have wash your beard before you trim it
Using this tutorial has given me the best beard I've probably ever had.
Thank you so much. So simple yet effective.
Great to hear!
I love the black and grey look
The right side still looks thicker then the left side after all done.
I went much shorter about 1.5 weeks ago. It seemed like a lot of hair, but was just a little clump of hair. You have great beard hair follicle density... The beard looked awesome before, and still looks epic after the trim. 🔥🔥🔥
Now you have to shake out your shirt, and vacuum the bathroom lol
That's the truth! Thanks for watching.
This was the most informative, and straight to the point video I have ever watched. Thank you. I planned on trimming tomorrow and now I feel confident in what to do. You made it looks so doable.
You had me at the guards but when you went free hand, pretty certain I’d botch that all ta hell. Great instructions though!
I love your beard trimming tutorials, and I don't speak English but I see them translated, you're a boss!!
Thank you!
@@GregBoswell428 One question Greg, if you can help me.
Is it really that important to go for hair? I mean, instead of using a 2.2cm one in this case, if I used a 3cm one in favor of the hair, the result would not be similar?
Going in favor of the hair, I notice that the hair that always stays longer is from below the earlobe, not the one on the chin, which is how I think it should be.
Why do you see it as important to go in favor of hair?
You make the neckline look so easy. Great video 👌🏼😊
Thank you very much!
I watched one of your videos on beard trimming about a year ago and it really helped me out. I usually went too short with it in the past. I appreciate the tips.
my man Greg , short beard is perfect for you ! this beard lenght is the best lenght for your face and bald head shape ! Awesomeeeeee
Thank man! I think it may be, too.
I'm going to be going shorter and shorter and making tutorials along the way so you guys can see how it looks and decide what length you may want to go with.
@@GregBoswell428 That's what I'm talking about !
Looks great! Haven't trimmed in 13 months. Maybe this weekend will be the time. Thanks Greg.
Let me know how it goes 👍
You posted this awhile ago. I just wanted to thank you for it. It was EXTREMELY helpful to me. I've always had a relatively low cut beard. Being middle age I had never grown a big beard. Well I achieved success grew that big beard and I wanted to take it down some just not as low as before and I was leary to try after all the work of growing it. Because of your video I feel I am armed to give it a try. Thank you again.
Great step by step explanation, number one beard channel, greeting from the UK
With 25 years of constant beard wearing.... THIS is by far the best more perfect beard length of them ALL!!!!! I’ve had scruff to chest length beards!!!!! This looks better and more than ANYTHING.... easier to maintain!!!!... long beards are TOO much work unless you don’t give a shit!!! And that always shows!!!😂😂
Absolutely agree. Like you, I've had everything from scruff to 13 months (which for me was 9 inches since my hair grows really fast) and the 6-8 week range is definitely the most optimal length. Gives you enough thickness to complement the face, gives you versatility with different hair lengths and best of all lower maintenance and you don't go through products so quickly which will save you $$$ in the long run.
Thank you for showing how to trim a shape like yours ❤ it's exactly how my husband(and me too 😉) likes his beard too go from long to short. Although we were not equipped as you are, I was able to apply your technique to what we have to shave.
And 🤩 rrrrrrr, he's looking good ❗
Nothing feels better than after a good number two
Glad I found this. Always grow a long beard for fall/winter and find it hard to bring it back down. Thanks brother!
Thanks for the tips. Growing out my first beard. Targeting this medium length look. You made the neckline look so easy!
I think you'll like this length. It works out well. Thanks for watching!
Faaaaast. Impressive. Brave too, but ... your beard wears all the different lengths nicely.
Fun video to watch.
Thanks Mitch, I appreciate that
You have the steady hands of a surgeon!!! ;-) Well done!
Im about to do this man. Had the thing for 12 years bout your length or longer, say a prayer for me.
Super smooth trim. Really good guide and the beard looks great man!
Thank you very much
Best video I've seen yet on beard trimming. Thank you!
Great trim. It would be interesting to see you shaved down completely and do some vids on how to grow the perfect beard.
I given that some serious thought
Instant like my friend. The best beard channel out there! Stay healthy and continue the nice work. Greetings from Europe!
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
I always go to your beard trim videos, they are the best! I was thinking about a trim regardless, but this video came out at the perfect time, as I trimmed my beard last night. Thanks again for these tutorials!
Thank you very much!
Awesome video Greg thank you so much. Your videos really do help and are so useful.
One of my care nurses takes your instructions to trim and maintain my beard and I just love the results.
Being able to stop pause and rewind is a huge help especially as a quadriplegic for my body decides to tremor at the most awkward moments lol🙃 Thank you again Greg 👍👏🙏🤗♿️
I love comments like this! It's nice to know it's helping others.
Going to give this a try. If I were flying solo on trimming, I wouldn't but now I can. Thanks man.
Brings up a good point. After my service in the Army you don't realize how much you can't understand people say from people that cover their lip with stash. Maybe it's just me with bad hearing or maybe it's legit because their mustache distorts words.
Great job Brother,
I love your work. You make it look doable. You give me great hope. I ALWAYS fuk up..
But like you said.. it'll grow back.
Keep up the inspirational work.
Great job. Number 2 on the mustache looks great and was a good choice, especially since it’s gonna grow out quick anyway.
I have to thank you profusely! My husband’s beard became a frightening thing thanks to covid and he had no interest in anyone but me trimming it. Hair I’m ok w in an emergency but the beard is a whole other animal. Ive tried very tentatively but it ended up looking tentative and fuzzy and non committal. When i saw you go right down the middle of your chin to the neck w your clippers AND THE HOW YOU DID THE NECKLINE i breathed a sigh of relief. What i was seeing was an actual plan, a realistic, very rational very doable method of approaching this wild hedge of a beard. Whats more i think he might try your method on his own! His practice has always been a harshly straight across goatee and mustache to match. (Thank God he’s good looking!) But your advice on how to position the blade, how to angle even a very straight mustache line is absolutely perfect. Thank you thank you thank you. Stay well and healthy. And happy new year.
PS: his beard came out pretty terrific although after his shower i can see it needs more finessing and tightening up. The mustache i flubbed a little right under the nose by taking off a little too much but its not awful and all in all hes pretty damn happy w how it looks and feels.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful. there is a bit of a learning curve as with anything else. Beards can be tough but I try to make things as simple as possible.
Lining the neck up is one of biggest pain in the ass for me without going too high 🤣💯
Awesome tutorial. As a bald guy I can see how it might look better on myself (also bald). #goodwork
Tools: I need a good T-blade trimmer. Much easier to sculpt and make crispier cuts.
You worked magic sir! I tried it and it's perfect. Thank you for the video and cheers from the Netherlands.
When I grow up, I want a beard like Greg Boswell. 😀 Great video Greg. First time I have see your videos. Really solid tips. Going to work on this face bush. Thanks again.
Been growing out my Covid beard for 7 months. Time to trim(says my wife) You make it look easy so I think I’ll “try” to follow your excellent example
I think it'll work out well for you
I've only watched two or three videos but there is really not much to have to understand , when the explanation is throughly like your video on how to shave your head, I pretty much got it myself, but the conditioner , 5 blades, behind the ear and falling the razor right behind the hand . Thank you Greg ...
Hey Greg - love the videos, been super helpful in trimming my own for the first few times. Would love to see a skincare routine video in the future!
I'd like to say I have a skin care routine, but I dont.
@@GregBoswell428 lol make one....for us. 🤷♀️ first timer here thanks for the upload 👏
Mate, I wish I'd found your video before I attempted to follow someone else's advice on trimming my beard. Great advice 👍
Awesome video. I don’t know if I’ll ever trust myself to do it.
Great video Greg. You could have stopped at almost any stage in the video and the beard still looked great. Finish was superb as always.
Thank you very much!
You make it seem so easy, great video, one of the BEST.
The end result is perfect. Very smart Mr Boswell. You look like a businessmen. Can you just share the smell of those products through the internet?
He is such a good teacher 👍
I saw your other useful video about making an already big beard appear even bigger because it seems our beards are twins!!! Except for the gray hairs!! and then I came across this... You broke my heart!!!!! 💔
I just like changing it up
Awesome tutorial Greg! I'm saving this one in case I ever want to trim my beard down to a short beard. Mine is probably a tad longer than yours. I was using my beard as a bit of a deterrent and certainly as a "screening device" with women as I have been single for almost 2 years and not really wanting to date at this time anyway. Well, I seemed to have found a beautiful woman that absolutely love my look with the long beard. And bc I'm so into this whole bearded life and community, not to mention all the products i have accumulated over the past year (50 bottles of oil for starter, it looks like I might never need to refer back to this video! Lol
Thanks man!
I know what you mean about staving off the women with a long beard. It's worth it sometimes for the very reasons you mentioned.
I'm glad you found someone who likes it!
I’m glad you had that small tea tree mint “goof up” because for the longest, until I saw this video actually, I thought guys were saying tea treatment.
Looks good.
Your moustache handle on your right-hand side is heavier.
Looks great I’ve been so scared to trim mine. I’ve had bad experiences with barbers. But lately i just look homeless lol.
You are A Beard Trimming Master! Big Thumbs Up. Thank You for your Content.
Thank you
Perfect length with #7
Really impressive, very good look
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Great video with very helpful advise, as usual. Thanks for the tips ! You did a great job shaving your beard ! Looks great at that length on you. 👍 Magnifique !
Thanks, Michael!
I’d love to see a video from you starting out with a months growth and taking care of the beard growing it long.
That's a real possibility. I'm going to be taking my beard shorter and shorter this year and then probably growing it back out long again.
Bro you are the most inspiring thing i found on youtube lately. Giving such on point tips! Please make tutorial about your clothing style and your face care products :)
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
It looks good 👍 I need to do that too switch up my beard length appreciate the video
Bro was brave as fk shaving with a t-shirt on 😂
I have philips multigroom 5000 hair guards 16 , 12 , 9 , 4 need to shape my beard thank you
Which 1 do I use which size
If those are millimeters, you should be able to compare it to this video. I provide the mm sizes on here.
Ok this is the one that I’m going to do. My beard is 2 inches right now and going to cut it soon. Thank you for this video.
Absolutely!
Looking good as always 👍
Nice trim
Thank you!
Looks great man! Excellent job! Thank you for your thorough content
Thank you for the video Oscar Isaac, glad you kept the Caleb Smith facial accessory from Ex Machina
😂😂😂
Great, I always thought to use a template with holes, mark holes with marker remove template, follow dots 😀
That was a fantastic tutorial and your shorter beard looks amazing. Thank you
Thanks!
Nohomo you got MORE attractive as the video went on. That beard length looks great on you.
I wanna do it like yourself but im afraid to fuck it up and ruin it completely 😂😂 the confidence in your hand going straight in, leaves me terrified
I know the feeling. That's why I make these.
You look striking in a medium beard..that best suits you. I do think you need to clean up your lines down the sides.
100% there Mr Disney.
nah when the beard is too sharp it doesn’t look good
Hey Greg, thanks so much for all your tips. You have made my beard look great since I have been watching. 👍
Fantastic!
Great video as always! I always look forward to the beard videos. Thanks for the advice and tips!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! About to follow this, wish me luck!
Great trim. Very well done. 👍
Thanks
great beard like that looks good at any length your lucky to have such a nice beard me not so much
Man i have the beard you end up with in the end. But i want the full beard at the beginning of the vid. Beard grows faster in some areas seams like under my chin.
everybody has just the same. everything is ok)
thats the perfect shape for ur beard 👍
Thanks!
Looks great! You clearly suit any size beard. In another life I was/am a straight razor collector, user and sharpener - they are great for the neck and cheek line too, though you obviously don't need help in that area (and you definitely don't want to use a finger as a guard with a straight razor!!).
Not sure if I'm ready to go shorter yet but this has been saved as my go-to video when (if) I do. My issue is that I am fairly thin (and have white hair) on the cheeks (more so on the right side - I think maybe because I sleep on that side), and time and length has helped cover the thinner spots. Though, it looks like the sides don't get hit very hard in your trim and as you say hair grows back. Maybe when we come into our summer (Australia - so Nov or so) I'll give this a shot. Thanks Greg - great video as usual.
Thanks man! Let me know if you end up doing this 👍
me looking at his bald head when he says it’s just hair so it’ll grow back 😂
LOL! Yep, that's why I have to keep shaving it
You Sir are a total legend!..thanks for all your videos 👊😊
I appreciate that!
Been looking for a video like this for awhile. Thanks Brotha!
You bet!
Great video man love the in depth tutorial. New sub!
Спасибо тебе, англоязычный человек)) Очень помог!
Huge improvement. You looked much older with that gray bushy thing.
Thanks! I kind of think I looked older too
Dig your channel. You have a great routine. I've been growing a beard for a few months but for the past 15 years I shaved with vintage straight razors. I love the soap and brush routine but I was having skin issues so I stopped shaving. During the lock down I clippered my head hair down and used a straight razor to shave my head, that video is on my channel but I have another channel that's made strictly for restoration, honing and test shaving straight razors. I'm looking for a great pair of clippers. I'll check out the ones in your description..
Cool, I’ll check out your channel!
Thanks I have another channel called gentlemens edge

Man, I never have luck trimming my beard down from really long to medium or shortish-medium. It just never feels quite right and I end up just starting over. Particularly on my bottom lip as it grows bushy like yours. Trimming it just makes it do whacky things. I like taking it all off from time to time to remind me why I have facial hair. The only problem is it gets greyer every time I do it. Looks like you have that problem too. By the way, good old bar soap lather makes for great shaving cream and you can put those remnant soaps to use.
Amazing video thanks for showing us how to keep it growing and neat 👍
