Thank you for bringing up the moustache point! Not enough people are aware of how having a small moustache affects the overall look of ones beard.

My method for a wiry grey beard like mine is to pat it with a towel after showering, but don't dry it. Add beard oil, then use a heated brush. Works great for me. Every beard is different, but I love my soft, smooth silver.

This man is a vital role model for me and my beard growing journey! The video explains a lot of mistakes I still make with my beard…although I’m only 20 😂

Keep the videos coming Daniel, you’re an awesome inspiration my friend!

I'm now I into 4th month of my beard growth with two trims at 2 months interval. I'm making all the mistakes that you see on YouTube!!!!
1.My first trim after 2 months was impulsive on seeing my cheek beard getting out of shape. I rooted it out and trimmed the chin beard half. It effectively set me back at least by a month that could have been avoided!!
2. My second trim was just yesterday. It was a nice full beard and a big moustache getting ready to go to the next level (changing shape and character fully). I thought I should take a bit of my chin floor which I did ever so slightly(less than half an inch on a 2.5 inch growth). It made a big difference. My moustache then started looking too big and I ended up trimming it a bit(ever so slightly)!!! that totally changed it's shape and character!!
So the lesson is : If you want to trim it, just do it over a week in 4 stages every alternative day(if at all necessary). Chances are you will stop at the first stage. Beard and moustache (especially the curly ones like mine) are very sensitive to even the smallest trims!!! Fortunately I'm not so sad with the end result!!! Nonetheless, one must make these mistakes atleast once so that you learn from them and avoid (hopefully)them in future. It's real tough to grow a long beard and keep one!!! I just don't know why???? It should have been the other way

hey man!! I agree somewhat with the trimmed stache but the stache is all about personal preference. IMO having a trimmed stache gives the beard a much cleaner finish. Same with the neck beard Ive tryed leaving the neckline untrimmes and it works but IMO thats personal prefenence. I think these tips apply to people that want the biggest beard possible and dont care about how it looks.

[kazakiru]

I wish barber's would know about this. 90% barber's I encountered just straight up do the same style on everyone. I like to call it setsquare beard. Short sidebeard, no neckbeard. Unless I specifically tell them to NOT cut it cause I want full long beard they always do it. Forgot about this last time and said to my barber that I want to shorten it a bit so it looks fuller. Now my sidebeard and neckbeard is basically gone. Well... 2-3 months of grows went down the drain. Keep safe folks. Make sure you and your barber have the same vision for your beard

[profactsconnected]

He is totally right: Overtrimming ist one of the biggest issus. Whenever I have the idea to put the growing beard into a cleaner shape, I end up cutting of way too much. Also the neckbeard thing: 100% true

[jasonmcconnell]

I definitely recommend Bull dog beard oil and shampoo. The difference on how my beard feels without them is unruly. $5-10 State side. Oil lasts two months with a long beard. 6 months with a short beard. Shampoo would be a bottle every month or two.

My beard is approaching 2 years now. When I first started and got tips on YouTube it was all trim the neck and the cheeks, but I found that my neck doesn't even grow that low. It stays at right about the adam's apple.

The cheeks. The first time I tried to trim that and make that line, I messed it up so bad that I shaved my whole beard off and started over. Now I don't even touch it really. I did just once, but it just grows naturally with a natural line there. There's really no need to trim it. (I think I trimmed it too low, as he mentions in the vid.)

I like my mustache trimmed though, otherwise I think it makes me look older if I don't, and I don't want to look older. :)

The sideburns... omg I did that so bad until, thankfully, my brother, who doesn't even have a beard and can't grow one told me, nah, bro that looks dumb. So now I hit it with a trimmer and guard every now and then. Though, the problem here is you can ruin the sidebeard length if you're not careful. It's still a learning process for me.

Kent comb!

Also, play songs by "The Beards" to your beard. Just like talking to plants, playing a song by "The Beards" to your beard daily, can dramatically increase the length, happiness, and general beardness of your beard. BEARDS!

[scemoboy]

Sorry to say this, but I hate so much mustach. If I have too long (if I put them down and they go over my upper lip, I will cut them going little pit over my upper lip) and I would like to have better beard growth and bad mustach grow.

[HomeGrownMedia]

foil shaver the cheek line every 2-3 days to keep it the same, it will only cut the stubble not the longer hairs... easy maintenance

[CameronKiesser]

About time I get a trim. My beard reached 6 months, kinda as long as yours in this.

I use this beard and face wash, then beard and face lotion, then beard oil and beard balm. I put the excess lotion and oil on my head hair. I believe they are all under the same brand, though different from what you use.

When I did my yeard, I used NO beard wash, lotions or oils. BIG MISTAKE! I was young and poor back then.

I have no intention of doing another yeard, but having proper maintenance is amazing.

[christoffer]

Good tips and I agree. Have grown 2 or 3 long beards and end up restarting so have learned most of these tips along the way. The fact you had to say a hair-dryer does not make you less manly makes me trust the tip more in some strange way :P

[tubekulose]

Hello! First of all: That's a really good looking beard. 👍
I've been wearing a beard myself for the last 25 years or so but I've always kept it at a length of only about 1.5 - 2 cm.
However, a couple of weeks ago I got the idea of growing my moustache (not directly above the lips but at the sides) in order to be able to create a handlebar.
Everything worked out fine and now I have got what I imagined.
But now the point has come where it has to be shortened a bit. Unfortunately I am not sure how to actually do it.
Shall I comb it downwards and trim it, sideways and trim it, curl it into handlebar position and trim it... ?
Maybe you have a good tip for me. I would really appreciate any kind of advice. 🙂
Sorry for my English. I'm from Austria, so it's not my first language.

[Hi-FiChess]

Everything you said was fantastic! Except the Bulldog oil and butter. The Detroit Grooming 313 oil and butter combo would be a much better suggestion to everyone. Other than that great info.

[MrWilson]

I am at the worst part of my growth- I look like a weird werewolf but I know in 1 year things are going to look better. Great video! Thanks.

[airtazznunya]

What comb are you using? I didn't see a link for it in the description.

[stephenshelton]

3:36 It sounds like you're talking about a "Riker Beard" as seen on Star Trek: The Next Generation. They once had an episode where they discovered an identical Riker as the result of a transporter accident who was trapped alone on a planet. The makeup department wanted him to look a bit rougher so they filled in his cheeks and his beard looked so much better than the "real" Riker.

I will say that low cheeklines aren't ideal, but they don't ruin a beard the way a high neckline does.

[bakarka]

No videos in some time. Hope you haven't lost the big beard! I agree that letting the moustache grow long (past the lower lip) looks best with a medium or big beard and completes the look. It also gives you something to style and play around with. The longer the better, in most cases (IMO).
