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.

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 KZread 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!
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
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!
He definitely helped me on his steps to trim and take care of your beard. Thank you.
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!

This is therapy I didn't know I wanted or needed. Soo calming. So satisfying.
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen on KZread. I had good success with this although I went for a more rounded look on the beard than you did.
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 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

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 "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.
@LGPanthers1
4 жыл бұрын
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.
