I am 43 and just started growing my beard, about 2.5 weeks and in full awkward stage. I’m planning to go to three months at least before a trim. Thanks for the inspiration and video Greg.
I'm pushing 60 + had a (not long) beard for the past 8 years. Shaved it off last year and to my horror, I saw the inevitable "turkey neck" beginning. I immediately stopped shaving + now have a good 3-4 inches on the sides + chin, with the under area well covered now!
I never thought about the 1/3 and 2/3 trick! No wonder the sids of the mustache never grew! And I never thought of just using scissors! Thank you for this!!!
Greg, i know exactly what you mean. Im a big guy so i have an unsightly double chin so i cover it up with a full beard. Though i eould like to trim it a little whilst still maintaining the illusion!
I have worn a mustache and goatee for many years. I didn't think a full beard was possible for me. But two years ago I decided to quit shaving altogether and see what happens. Three months later I was surprised to see a very nice full beard. It turns out that the hair on my face grows at different speeds. And apparently my hair follicle sensitivity to DHT is not as high as with a lot of other guys. But I'm okay with that, because my scalp is like that as well. So at 67 I have absolutely no balding issues whatsoever. I have thick hair just like Greg, but everything is white except for the mustache which is a little darker. At 21 I became interested in anti-aging medicine, so people still guess me to be 40-something. If I were beardless like a lot of guys I would have no problem with that. But as long as it's there, I just let it grow. I think most men look better bearded.
My hair simply don't grow on neck. It starts grow exactly 2 fingers above adam's apple. I have beard like yours in terms of patchiness, but I wish I had a little lower neck line because it would better from the side. I'd say that your beautiful hair color helps a lot, I kinda have opposite colors to yours my beard is darker brown/red but my moustache have a lot of blond hair so it looks like negative to yours if I let tails grow and with mine color you can notice skin through beard a bit more. Overall great video as always Greg with helpful advices
I'm not gonna lie, after years of being completely clean shaven growing a beard has changed my entire life and has had a *profound* affect on my dating life and interactions with women.
@@3581tossit Aside from getting alot of compliments on my beard. Women approach me more, they talk to me more. They flirt more. Ask for my number. They stare more, stand closer. Everything is different. I had more action from women in my first 6 months bearded than I did probably in a 10 year period clean shaven. This is the most attention that I've gotten from women in my entire life at 41 years old.
I feel like I make that mistake of cutting a high angle from the center, that is much closer to my jawline. I have a rounded face with enough neck fat that's fairly persistent unless I'm like really underweight (and even then it's not solved entirely) I end up often cutting my beard way back early when I see how that tends to look from the side lol
Here is what I have observed - those men who have a strong jaw-line generally do not grow good beards because they might lack sufficient coverage; it is usually the men whose jaw-line is a little more 'rounder' that generally grow the phenomenal beards. Here's the take away - nature usually gives you what you need. Those men with well-defined jaw-lines don't need to be bearded. Be grateful that your 'chin area' is a bit loose!
After all these years I still enjoy Greg’s beard content. Always quality videos!
Appreciated....and I like making them
@@BerzinskyRules yes

Have fun! Just don't forget to use beard oil. Personally I prefer pure argan oil instead of beard oil.
90 days will be very telling about your beard. You got this!
You got this
Keep pushin' brother. It gets better!

Summer is the perfect time to raise the bar a bit---see how short you can go. There is always the Fall for growing length again.
As always, thank you Greg!

I talked my husband into growing a beard. He’s a silver fox; tall, fit and handsome. Women can’t help themselves when we’re out in public.
good work greg
I'm 47 and growing my beard for the very first time.. it's a 2 month old salt and pepper look but it's growing on me
How old is Greg? Looks great
Hard to watch Greg and his insane thick hair when you lost your hair at 20. You are one lucky guy
You can say that again... At least we have our beards :D
Can we take a moment and thank Walter Berzinsky...my dad. A man who died with a good hair of hair. :)

Beards are natural, make-up isn't. Men look better bearded, women - natural.
