My husband has been rocking a beard for a couple years but never had a clue how to trim/maintain it (no one ever showed him how). Then I came across your videos a few months ago on how to do beard trims/maintenance at home to share with him, and they have been a game changer! I will say, I've been the one studying up and learning these skills to replicate on him, and I have improved so much because of your videos and his beard is the best it's ever been. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!!!
As somebody who lost his dad at early age i want to thank you because your videos really helped me to figure out how exactly to maintain and trim my beard... Really appreciate your work!
For some time, I've been wearing a long beard, but I've always struggled with trimming and styling it effectively. Your videos have been a revelation-they're incredibly helpful and easy to follow for beard enthusiasts like me. They've sparked my interest in self-trimming and enhancing my beard. I'm looking forward to seeing more detailed videos on trimming long beards and mustaches on your channel. I'm also excited about your upcoming tutorials on shaping a rounded beard and chemical straightening (relaxing). Keep up the fantastic work!
Hola, Matty. First of all, thank you for sharing all of these tricks and details on how to model our beards like you do. These recommendations are very useful. Second, I admire your beard and how well these 3 styles fit perfectly on you. You are so blessed for having a versatile beard like yours. Finally, I really love how you encourage us to improve our skills on shaping our own beards with a magic ingredient known as PATIENCE. Thank you for your ideas, your time spent on creating content like this one and your leadership, Señor Conrad. Regards from Tijuana, México.
Just a quick note to say thanks. Had a disastrous beard trim recently, he undercut it and made it look transparent and weak at the front as well as lopsided, I can't find a decent barber round here to fix things and the clippers I had were awful. So armed with new Gamma+ clippers and trimmers set and your videos, I plucked up the courage to have a go myself. Your videos took the mystery out of things, it's not a dark art after all and I now have a 'soft' square beard and a trimmed and shaped handlebar 'tache. You have made an old man (and his missus) very happy, thanks!
I'm 73 and have been growing my beard for just over 2 months now. I want to let it grow for another 3-4 months before deciding on a shape, though I'm leaning towards rounded now. I'm bald on top and I keep the side hair medium long, but tighter around the ears and lower back, so that's another issue I have. I don't want to do a buzz or shave my head yet. Your videos differently have me thinking.
Growing my first beard in 60 years. It's at the 2-month stage. I'm going to let it grow out for another 2 months, but I'm now starting to think about what style I want, and how to achieve it. To help me out on my first trim, I'm upvoting the request for full-length videos on all those shapes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Love these tips! Your channel and channels like it have REALLY helped me up my beard game. In 5 or so years, I've gone from having little growth ability to a beard that only takes a couple months to be strong. I've only sat in one barber's chair and honestly, I probably spent a hour fixing it after leaving, so I guess I prefer to trim/style my own beard. Being a balding guy, a good beard is a huge compliment to the overall aesthetic. Thanks again, Matty!
Thank you, Matty! I’m finally getting that good square shape that I couldn’t quite figure out how to get before your videos. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Adore this channel so much. Glad you’ve recognized how much value your teaching style has and are making this content. One idea! I’d love to see a series of you consulting on beard styles for a few guys with different head shapes. Could be a nice way for people at home to see how to approach assessing their own noggin and what would look best on them.
Could you do a video discussing growing and grooming styles of the mustache in combination with a full beard? I am currently trimming to the top of the red of my lip, which seems to be common for many men. But I see most beards you show have the stash trimmed to the bottom of the lip and I don't know how to achieve that from my current style
Man I just started watching your videos in a lazy attempt to grow my beard and I got to say these videos gave a more confidence to actually grow it and educate myself on how to take care of them. I’m such a fan and hopefully I can keep learning from your videos. The triangular shape fits me the best but I have sometimes taken a little too much from the bottom and sides trying to achieve the right look. Slowly getting better tho. 👍🏻
Thanks so much for your videos! So passionate on this! You trim around your beard and let it grow again and again, just to show us how to do. Thanks for all the passion you show here!
Love your content. Requesting a How to shape trim a wide circular beard? Most goatees with connected chevron mustaches have narrow strait sidelines and I prefer circular. Love to see what you can do. Thanks for considering, Maestro!
Thanks. On vacation didn't bother shaving. Then got some nice reactions on my beard. Now 2 months underway and proud of my beard. It's blond and gray. There us a problem coming up. What styke and length II want and finding a good barber to guide me. Your channel helps a lot.
Thanks for these great videos. I’ve tried two barbers with less than stellar results I find that the spoonbill suits me best as well. Would love more in depth videos, especially with tips for guys with sparse side hair. I know I can’t go too short or it just looks scraggly.
Matty, thanks for the great tips! Could you consider a tutorial on a more layered & natural look. Although, it can definitely be more difficult to master. That is, to keep trimmed but beard walls more layered and natural rather than straight, flat, and completely uniform. For example, Leto Atreides Dune beard look. Maybe get someone with a large beard and wittle it down and layer it to look Oscar Isaac Dune like? Haven’t found anyone that shows this, but, you’re the one man that can pull that off on RUclips!! Let’s do this Matty!
I have been trimming my beard with no clue of what I am actually doing. warch time i get new shap as I was just experimenting. Thank you so much for the information. I would love to see a full video for triangle shape.
Hi Matty! So glad I found your channel! Used your trimming technique and finally have the square beard I've always wanted! A few more weeks of grow and trim and I'll be exactly where I want it!
Solid video as always, Matty. Point to be noted- it's worth mentioning the "hybrid shapes", like "square and round" (parallel sides, slightly rounded bottom) and "squared ducktail" (flat bottom but parallel to your jaw; not pointed). Reason I say this is because these have become more popular over the years than these classic shapes. They're also more natural than the above 3, in my humble opinion. Regardless, as someone who styles his beard like a ducktail in the morning and it becomes a round shelf with parallel sides as the day progresses, I'm very pleased with this video and this guide. Thank you!
@@mattyconradgrooming true that. And I'm happy that you explained the fundamentals in such detail. Haven't failed even once since adopting your teachings. Only wish you taught us common folk in Germany too.🥲 But until then, lots of love and gratitude!
Also you’ll notice in the thumbnail for this video I am wearing a rounded base with linear sides. I think the most important thing is learning to understand the basics so you can put them together in any for you see fit.
Love your videos ❤ for me, a short to middle length business beard would be very helpful to learn. I have an uneven beardgrowth, one side growing down, the other growing softer and sideways. I have an hard time using anything like guards, because one side needs to be shortened, but if that happens to the sideways side, it will be much flatter and a visible difference.
Recently found your channel and I’m loving the advice! Currently trying to go from a bit past stubble to a longer beard. If you or anyone else has tips for how to handle the “awkward phase” I would really appreciate it lol
Great video, as always. I’d love to see a video of you talking about your hair and hair in general. How often do you get it cut, how often do you wash it. What’s the out of the shower styling ritual. Etc. Thanks!
Thanks would love to see more in-depth on all three shapes. I think duck tale is were I need go. I struggle with the big moustache. Once it gets long as yours or a bit longer it is difficult to style. If you could do video on long moustache care trimming would be awesome. Thanks for all the tips
Great video as always! I finally have a jawline thanks to your tutorials! I would love your recommendations (even a video) on Barbers you like in NYC, in particular Brooklyn. Cheers!
Great video as always. I always refer to your older video about how to tame an overgrown beard. Almost felt I was comfortable with that process but this raises the bar. I need to start practicing. Thanks for sharing. Great beard man.
Hi Matty, awesome video as always. I style a rounded shelf with flat sides. I tend to tilt my head back but trim downwards to compensate. Seems to do the trick.
Always motivating to watch your video. Give me confidence in grooming my own beard. I was always worried that this won't apply to me being black, but all your tips work wonders. Continue the amazing work.
Hello Matty, Thank you for sharing your wide knowledge regarding beards. It definitely improved my looks. I would appreciate even more your take on the hairstyles, styling and home grooming of head ;)
Love your videos! I favour a square beard but I’m never sure what to do with the sideburns. Does your beard kind of start at the cheek line? And what length are your side burns above that?!
Love your videos, they've really helped me trim and shape my beard to look much better. What I am curious about, is your hair in this video. How is that style achieved? What do you grow out, and how do you trim it to get that swept back but lean on the sides look? I'd love to see a video on that.
Ive had my beard for a few years now, ive had it short, ive had it long, neat and messy. The best beard ive seen and the one i want to emulate the most is Duke Leto Atreides played by Oscar Isaac in Dune. If you could take a look at this style that would be amazing! It seems simple but so powerful!
I’m gonna be honest Matty, I like how you look with the rounded beard. It looks dope. Also, let’s be honest, we will probably want an individual video for every shape you just did haha 😂 My favorite internet beard guy. Have learned so much from you, as well as my hair stylist since, other than me, she barely trims any beards hahaha, so I’ve been sending her your videos so she can leave me nice and clean, better than I do it myself 😂
I haven't seen anything about waxed handlebar stashes. I have a brogue/ duck tail and handlebar stash and trimming and pairing or tying it in can be tough sometimes
@mattyconradgrooming I love all of your videos and definitely learned a ton. This is the first time I've let my beard grow to the point of trimming thanks for all the great tips!
Absolutely love this video, gotta be one of your best. Just wish that background music would disappear when you're talking or at least have it dialed back. Thanks for the beard tips!
Thank you for your videos! They really helped me with my beard journey. Other barbers I visited really liked it and were really surprised it's a DIY from RUclips videos 😂
Hey Matt man love the content, I’m a new beard grower and black so my hair grows so differently have you got any tips or vids to come with black men with big beards. Thanks man fan from the UK 🇬🇧
You make everything look so easy. On month 5 of my newest beard journey and I feel like I need a trim to keep things looking proper. Can’t decide on a shape though. Rounded seems like it would fit me. Do you accept emails with beard pics for suggestions? Great video as always.
Hey Matty, recently @my Beard barber they said it would be cool to spray your beard with hairspray to get that super sharp edge to your beard? I'm a big fan of the Ducktail beard shape by the way. Ive never seen that approach before though? Blow dry it straight then using hairspray? What are your thoughts on this method is it even a thing have you ever done it like that before ? Great video again by the way. Keep up the good work! Cheers Jonny
Great video as always! I have a question about cutting back lines. I have a difficult time cutting my back lines without messing one or both of them up (I usually screw up the corner part of the jaw). Do you have any tips or tricks? Like maybe use a comb as a straight guide? Thanks for any help in advance!
Could you make a video showing how to keep the shape of a longer full goatee? I like to keep mine fuller looking and longer while I've seen most other ppls how to's, trim it down shorter.
@@mattyconradgrooming Nothing crazy maybe similar to the length of Oscar Isaac's length he had in the goatee area in Dune. Maybe that's normal length but I just haven't seen any videos on it except trimming using like a 1/2" guard or shorter. I kinda struggle with what shape to do and if I should just be putting a guard on and trimming the whole thing. I wouldn't mind going longer too I just never know what to do with it. Thanks!
Hello! Do you have any tips on choosing clippers and trimmers? What features/performance charateristics should they have and what marketing gimmicks should we avoid? Everything is rated “professional” or “for pro’s”. Cheers from Romania!
Where can i go to schedule a beard trim with you? I want to take a vacation week, and thouht coming to see you and the shop would few days off. Marcello
Great video, but how does beard colour come into play when choosing a shape? I mean, the lighter the beard is, the more fuzzy a round shaped beard might look.
I have an issue with the ducktail - always the shelf is visible from the side and I do not know whether I am doing something wrong or that is how it should look like. Can you do an extended version of maintaining ducktail style, please?
Hey! Any tips on how to trim a beard that is VERY straight? I mean, like the hair on your head, but in the face kinda straight. Should I be fading my whole beard, perhaps? Since I really can't use the same approach as a curly beard can do. Can't really see how I would be able to trim it like you just showed, xD it would look like a disaster after:/
Same issue! My beard hair is straight and kinda wavy. So if I trim the little flip curl that the ends do, then it’ll just still have a little curl , but now just shorter. Really stumped on how to shape it.
A question I always wanted to ask (I really really hope I get an answer): I wash my face with a face wash and usually I wash my beard with the same wash (it’s a specific face wash not a soap)… now I wash my face twice daily for my facial routine and I use shampoo on my hair twice a week… for my beard I have a specified shampoo that I use twice a week, but I don’t have a specific wash for the beard… is the face wash good for my beard or should I have a specific wash for the beard like the shampoo???
Good question. I usually recommend a specific beard wash because a lot of them contain different types of proteins or oils that are gonna be more nourishing to the hair. However, you’re not doing any harm by using a face wash. These is usually contain care ingredients that will keep the skin healthy. Just keep an eye out if you notice that it’s drying out the hair or if it’s causing your beard to itch. That’s usually a sign that the skin underneath the beard is not getting the care it needs
Thanks Matt for your videos I’m also your customer on victory website I have but some of your products, i don’t have lots of hair on my beard how long do I have to wait to see if I’m a good prospect to grow beard? And can you give some tips on short beard styles plz thanks
Semi off topic question: what product/s do you use on your hair? I'm rocking a similar style but can't quite find the right product to get the same look as yours? Thanks!
Matty, I’m roughly 8 weeks into growing my beard. How do I keep the hair under my chin from wanting to fold back under my chin when I brush it? I’m not getting that straight down beard look. Or do I just need to wait for more bulk to build up on my neck to help push it forward? Love your content!!!

I love how your videos are always informative yet with a touch of humour

I find that the spoonbill suits me best as well. Would love more in depth videos, especially with tips for guys with sparse side hair. I know I can’t go too short or it just looks scraggly.
Nice job Matty! I always look forward to your videos! I agree, the ducktail looks cool. I am two months into achieving one myself!
Thanks Matty, full length on styles 2 and 3 would be welcomed! Super helpful, thank you
Best Beard Video Trim Tutorial Ive ever seen..... Great Job!! Helped a lot!!!

@@mattyconradgrooming true that. And I'm happy that you explained the fundamentals in such detail. Haven't failed even once since adopting your teachings. Only wish you taught us common folk in Germany too.🥲 But until then, lots of love and gratitude!

I have an uneven beardgrowth, one side growing down, the other growing softer and sideways. I have an hard time using anything like guards, because one side needs to be shortened, but if that happens to the sideways side, it will be much flatter and a visible difference.

I literally have been waiting for these videos for months now.
Btw, my dad has a beard, quite like yours.
Love your channel @Matty Conrad ! Question- what is the difference between a ducktail and brogue beard style?

Hey Matty, any tips on styling a wiry, patchy and not so 'dense' beard?
Helpful, thanks. Triangular's definitely favored in my book
Love this video tutorial! Great work bringing it all together 👍 and as a bookseller I just have to ask: is it Rick Rubins book on your desk?
Do you recommend any good beard books on how to shape and trim a beard as well? Love all the content.
I see that Rick Rubin master piece on the desk there. Keep creating my man!! Thanks for all the info!!
It’s a great read. Really enjoying it.
How'd you end up feeling about the new trimmers? Recommendation? Thanks for another great video!
I’m gonna be honest Matty, I like how you look with the rounded beard. It looks dope.

Love it. Thank you for helping me debate the shape of my face.
For shaving on the cheekbones and on the neck(cleaning up a beard) do you recommend transparent shaving gel?
Im thinking about the beard journey. What shape would you recommend?
Really appreciate your videos, simple and straight to the point. Subbed 👍
Absolutely love this video, gotta be one of your best. Just wish that background music would disappear when you're talking or at least have it dialed back. Thanks for the beard tips!
Excellent feedback.., I’m still working on my video editing… clearly haven’t mastered it yet 🤫
Thank you for your videos! They really helped me with my beard journey. Other barbers I visited really liked it and were really surprised it's a DIY from RUclips videos 😂
Solid counsel as always! If you ever need a long beard model in the Asheville, NC area... I know a guy -
Hey Matt man love the content, I’m a new beard grower and black so my hair grows so differently have you got any tips or vids to come with black men with big beards. Thanks man fan from the UK 🇬🇧
Great vid, Matt! Full videos, please 😅
Great video…and the Beard of Rick Rubin on the desk….love it!
Do you have links to the combs/tools you use?

Ive never seen that approach before though? Blow dry it straight then using hairspray? What are your thoughts on this method is it even a thing have you ever done it like that before ? Great video again by the way. Keep up the good work! Cheers Jonny
Great video as always! I have a question about cutting back lines. I have a difficult time cutting my back lines without messing one or both of them up (I usually screw up the corner part of the jaw). Do you have any tips or tricks? Like maybe use a comb as a straight guide? Thanks for any help in advance!
Where can I get that blow dryer at?
Could you make a video showing how to keep the shape of a longer full goatee? I like to keep mine fuller looking and longer while I've seen most other ppls how to's, trim it down shorter.
How much longer are we talking?
@@mattyconradgrooming Nothing crazy maybe similar to the length of Oscar Isaac's length he had in the goatee area in Dune. Maybe that's normal length but I just haven't seen any videos on it except trimming using like a 1/2" guard or shorter. I kinda struggle with what shape to do and if I should just be putting a guard on and trimming the whole thing. I wouldn't mind going longer too I just never know what to do with it. Thanks!
Hello! Do you have any tips on choosing clippers and trimmers? What features/performance charateristics should they have and what marketing gimmicks should we avoid? Everything is rated “professional” or “for pro’s”. Cheers from Romania!
Where can i go to schedule a beard trim with you? I want to take a vacation week, and thouht coming to see you and the shop would few days off. Marcello
Great video, but how does beard colour come into play when choosing a shape? I mean, the lighter the beard is, the more fuzzy a round shaped beard might look.
I have an issue with the ducktail - always the shelf is visible from the side and I do not know whether I am doing something wrong or that is how it should look like. Can you do an extended version of maintaining ducktail style, please?
This is my favorite video on RUclips!
Hey! Any tips on how to trim a beard that is VERY straight? I mean, like the hair on your head, but in the face kinda straight. Should I be fading my whole beard, perhaps? Since I really can't use the same approach as a curly beard can do. Can't really see how I would be able to trim it like you just showed, xD it would look like a disaster after:/
Same issue! My beard hair is straight and kinda wavy. So if I trim the little flip curl that the ends do, then it’ll just still have a little curl , but now just shorter. Really stumped on how to shape it.
I think I have a similar face shape to you so I go with the ducktail.
Great to get a top barber's advice!
A question I always wanted to ask (I really really hope I get an answer): I wash my face with a face wash and usually I wash my beard with the same wash (it’s a specific face wash not a soap)… now I wash my face twice daily for my facial routine and I use shampoo on my hair twice a week… for my beard I have a specified shampoo that I use twice a week, but I don’t have a specific wash for the beard… is the face wash good for my beard or should I have a specific wash for the beard like the shampoo???
Good question.
I usually recommend a specific beard wash because a lot of them contain different types of proteins or oils that are gonna be more nourishing to the hair. However, you’re not doing any harm by using a face wash. These is usually contain care ingredients that will keep the skin healthy. Just keep an eye out if you notice that it’s drying out the hair or if it’s causing your beard to itch. That’s usually a sign that the skin underneath the beard is not getting the care it needs
Bit of an unrelated question but how is your Brio Beardscape holding up?
Great video, Brotha 💪🏽💯
Thanks Matt for your videos I’m also your customer on victory website I have but some of your products, i don’t have lots of hair on my beard how long do I have to wait to see if I’m a good prospect to grow beard? And can you give some tips on short beard styles plz thanks
Awesome thank you!
What is your opinion on the Wahl High Visibility trimmer?
This brother is the absolute G.O.A.T.
lol thank you 🙏🏻
Great video. You look a lot better with a triangular beard
Semi off topic question: what product/s do you use on your hair? I'm rocking a similar style but can't quite find the right product to get the same look as yours? Thanks!
Matty, I’m roughly 8 weeks into growing my beard. How do I keep the hair under my chin from wanting to fold back under my chin when I brush it? I’m not getting that straight down beard look. Or do I just need to wait for more bulk to build up on my neck to help push it forward? Love your content!!!
Can you please do a video on how to properly maintain a goatee?
That’s nice , only if mine was thick , mines thins on and like a medium thick below the jaw line , but I make it work just never really trim it
