How to Trim Your Beard with Scissors | Eric Bandholz

Step one is to eye out the general line you want to follow, then give yourself a little extra length to even everything out once the first cut is done. Eric recommends picking up a pair of scissors from Beardbrand for the highest quality scissors you can get.

The biggest thing you want to remember is to follow your jawline. You want your beard to shape and contour with your jaw, and you want to continually brush the beard up and away from your face to locate loose ends and eliminate them.

Take your time! Don't rush your trim, in fact it may take two or more small trims over a few days to get your beard exactly where you want it. And if you make a mistake, don't fret - it will grow back!

I'm too scared to trim mine myself but I don't trust a barber to do it either. I'm in beard purgatory.

A great trim tutorial. A good look on your beard. I think sometimes I've got obsessed with symmetry and as you say. It's a process of several days and practice. Thanks for the advice. Beard on!

This was a great video that pushed me to take my beard way down. I have been contemplating on taking my beard down for months now. After watching this I finally pulled the trigger. I usually do small trims every 3 months. I did a major trim and this is the shortest my beard has been in two years. Thanks for the motivation brotha man.

Man, when you first started cutting your beard in almost half way up, it kinda made my eyes bleed. But the outcome was unbelievable man! As always, you rock! Greetings from Brazil!!!

I'm much engaged in the fruitful growth of my moustache as its journey balances things. peace my friend and I hope your family us doing amazing sir.

90% barbers ruin your beard so you should learn to do it by yourself

Man, you said your beard groes half centimeter a month, but... its almost like you grow a new terminal beard for each video, always ready for tutorials on how to cut, trim and shave everything off, just to be back at it again next week. Witchcraft! Hahah!

Great video ! I just started my beard 2 weeks ago but haven't touched it. It's getting itchy and ugly but I'm going to do it. Your vids have a big encouragement. Thanks. Mark

All mine took was a bottle of whiskey and a pair of dollar store scissors. I looked like a Mennonite before, now I look presentable.

I've been considering trimming mine for awhile, but I dig the length at the same time I dig the cleaniness of a trimmed beard.

[bryanwofford]

Excellent instruction, Eric. Thanks so much for all you sincerely share.♥

Good video. Gonna give this a go later. My beard has gotten pretty messy looking especially at the sides with random hairs sticking out. I still want it all thick but a more chopped tidy look like your after pic

[PatrickGregoryDaniels]

Hey Brother Eric. I'm in the middle of reading the amazing law of success book by Napoleon hill from the 1925 original manuscript. I didn't get a chance yet to watch this video since I'm reading but I just wanted to say I'm really enamored to see what great value and honor you carry yourself with. you've got great role model characteristics and your just setting a great character and noble reputation for the beards man. also my friend thanks for engaging with me on Instagram. I'm looking forward to all the amazing ways we can help to make the world a better place through connected more people positively with style and good wholesome lifestyle influence.
