I found your channel 5 years ago after I retired from the Navy and wanted to have a "Freedom Beard." Your channel has literally changed my life. I love my beard and the way it feels and looks. Never going to shave and I am going to be a lifetime subscriber to your channel. From the bottom of my heart I sincerely thank you Dan.
Hey Dan, very interesting perspective on the trends of viewership on your channel! I myself began my beard journey during the CoVid pandemic and can confirm that I had deep-dived into many of your videos during that time. With increased knowledge and confidence in beard care, I do agree that many viewers probably fall off the wagon and develop what I would describe as "Scuba Syndrome" 😆. I think there is a sweet spot that involves keeping the beard looking great but not obsessing and that's probably where we all want to end up throughout this journey 🙏 Great video
As a company, we see this same trend with many consumers. We totally understand the seasons of life, especially with something such as a beard. Great food for thought Dan!
Personally, ive noticed that I dont need to buy products all that often. I want to try all of the good brands but shampoo and conditioner has been lasting me a good year! Oil/butter lasts me a month. I get emails all the time from companies ive ordered from reminding me to refill my supplies but I havent even gotten a chance to try out other ones to figure out what works best for my beard. I have Dr. Nicks on my list to try out as well 😉
Great topic Dan! I think I'm one of the outliers you mentioned in the beginning. I truly enjoy the content and the community! My interest hasn't waned, and I continue to learn new things and virtually meet great new people. I look forward to the streams and videos, and only miss if there is some other obligation (like work) that prevents me from watching. In those cases, I always find the replays enjoyable. You keep making great content, and I'll keep watching it. Thanks Dan!
I love that so much and appreciate it all! I am the same exact way and actually have to keep myself from making TOO MUCH content lol I can't get enough.
Even companies go through these types of swings. Being that we can’t do our business full time yet I find some days or even weeks I don’t get back to people or our socials lack! Am super happy and honoured sooo many reach out to see how we are, ask us whats going on or start those conversations. It really is the best community for positivity and support! We appreciate EVERY SINGLE PERSON!
I feel this comment! I just started a beard company at the beginning of the year and it definitely fluctuates as I cannot afford to jump all in and make it my full time thing just yet! Love this channel though! I follow along as often as I can.
I’ve basically been watching since the beginning and watched this channel grow so much. I went deep in and have watched almost everything. I like watching the livestreams too but in all honesty and nothing against you. I get so bored of people asking the same questions over and over and having to hear the same answers over and over. So I often take breaks from watching the content when I get bored of that but usually come back. You do a great job and I know people have questions. Just drives me nuts when they could just search the question and have a video of yours pop up after the stream. Not trying to be negative and sorry if it comes off like that.
Totally understand!! I am happy to be the guy to help with the same questions because there is always new viewers coming in. And for sure they can look it up, but it’s an honor to me that they would ask. I genuinely understand from a viewer though, on how that could be get old to hear.
i feel this is the case in every live stream in any type of content. it's just the nature of the cycles of viewers and people just looking for answers in the moment without the extra research.
@@jbgetsyawrecked you’re probably right. I don’t watch a lot of lives in general. I always make sure to watch if it’s dans and it’s on a company that I love.
The past three months as I'm growing my beard out I've been lurking and watching as you describe. I've had a short close cut beard for years and never paid much attention to it until I started growing it out. This channel is the most informative and helpful of those I've found.
Hey Dan. I began growing my beard in 1980, my senior year at U of M. I never shaved again. There was no internet, no beard products, and only trimmers. It would have been great to have someone to talk with, to share with, to grow with. It wasn't to happen. I discovered a forum about 2010, and have been active with encouraging others. I found you as the trusted teacher, and have popped in on and off, as my time allows. Always love the content, and have gotten many pointers from you, especially with my longer beard (8 inches), and being Santa. You have been instrumental in fine tuning my beard for better health, and I so much appreciate your channel. And I couldn't imagine not getting new info, because in my lifelong beard journey, there could always be one better thing. Thanks. So, always good to stay tuned in. I must be one of the odd ones. Tom
To beard or not to beard is a question many guys struggle with. We see it all the time, sometimes the hardest part isn't even the growing, but the maintaining! Great video Dan!
Well I’ve been an eager consumer of your beard content for about 2 years, and can honestly say in that time don’t think I’ve missed a single video!! Not always the day they drop but I do view them when I can. Although I really enjoy the livestreams my schedule rarely affords me the opportunity to stay for the entire time. Virtually all the good beard info I’ve learned has come from you Dan. Yep you’re truly the trusted teacher!!👍💯
I have been watching the content and education the entire time. I agree my focus was education, styling advice, product reviews. This evolved into a beautiful community that is supportive and informative. I need this community, your videos and conversation to keep the positivity. Positivity is very intoxicating and this community you built represents that to its core
I enjoy watching your vids simply because the genuine nature of them. Also, just in my opinion you and many other beard content creators just seem so welcoming and genuine and it’s simply nice to be a part of the bearded community. It truly feels like a brotherhood and we’re all learning. It’s great.
I started watching your content when I started my beard journey. The information you have provided has been so valuable to me on the journey. Being in England means I can’t always watch your live streams but I still watch your content and enjoy them. I forget to mention, Manchester United FA cup winners 🎉🎉😂😂
While I've only been here for 8 months or so, I find a great deal of comfort in this community. The content is exactly what I'm looking for. I totally appreciate the effort and time that you devote to all things beard related. Next month will mark my one year beard anniversary. I honestly could not have gotten this far with you. Many thanks to you Dan.
Love this community and your videos led me here. I agree that over this last year i have learned so much and am finding out what works for me with blends and scents. On the other hand since ive started content creation ive been more open to exploring new things and sharing my experiences. So it keeps me involved and more aware of whats going on in the community
I’ve definitely gone through some of these pendulum swings. I feel I have a good cadence of liking to learn on the subjects I’m not confident on or that are new, but with all your content I feel like I know more than 99.9% of the non-beard community. I certainly have a bit of an obsessive personality and dive in hard on subjects I find interesting such as gardening, astronomy, dog training, etc. The beard knowledge is no different and a lot of what you say resonates with me! Great stuff as always Teach!
Love your videos! I had a beard for a number of years before I found your videos. It was a sad looking beard. I don't want to go back to that. Watching your videos keeps me on track!
I'm on the front end of the viewership currently. i decided to see what my beard can do a couple years ago but just winged it for most of that time. A few months ago, I decided i really need to do better about finding solid info and products to take my beard to the next level. I was super thankful to find Dan C, as he's now my #1 resource to feel confident i'm doing the right things for my beard, as well as keeping me informed on the cool new aspects of the hobby and products to check out. I came for more knowledge, but I plan to stick around for the community. I look forward to every monday night now, to pop in to Commands Corner, and enjoy taking part in the experiences of others on Wednesdays Beard Advice Live shows. I watch all new videos, as you never know what new info may be out there, or new revelations dan has had, even if the subject of the video is the same. not to mention dan is entertaining and great at what he does. I can truly thank dan for the condition my beard is currently in and i plan to stick around.
You hit this on the head. I'm super consumed with the right care, products for my beard. I've found a lot of what works for me as an individual and that does play to the videos I check immediately or at a later date. I will tell you I check your videos before buying a new product ALWAYS. Some of the science stuff I'm not super up too speed on but without this channel I'd be spinning my wheels with guess work on good beard products. I don't always post but truly appreciate the hours of time and research that you put into this channel!
I think this is the first time I've seen anyone address what is a very valid point. We all have our own beard journey and some drift off of it, many find what works and then that's it. Job done. I have had a beard of some kind for over half my life but only in that past 8-10 years and this current style of beard has youtube been around to help me. I have consumed hours, weeks, probably even months of videos in that time and it's been key to my bearded life. There's advice, styling tips and how-tos to the reviews etc (sadly for me as a UK viewer most of yours I don't check in on as its prohibitive to buy oil etc from so far away due to shipping etc). What I find different about your channel is the info - you break things down so interestingly - likely coming from your school background. I don't comment much but have a few times over the years and I just want you to know that we love what you do and to keep on keeping on dude.
I really appreciate the kind words, perspective, and hearing from you. Thank you sir! My teaching background for sure has a massive imprint on my approach to the channel.
I discovered first the RUclips channel then the facebook community and I’m hooked!! I’ve never taken such good care of my beard and have learned soooo much!! Im addicted to all aspects. I started to feel a bit outta hand with my addiction to beard care products but it’s ok now because my wife is using them also!! She’s wearing Coastal Command oil in her hair and the balm on her skin today!! 😂 Love it and all the content and the community!! Stay bearded and stay positive for the win 💪🏻
No matter what walk of life or what anyone is going thru. Everyone is here for each other. That is a cool thing. Something that always got me is beard companies treat each other. No competition in between companies. Companies help and support each other. This world beeds more of that support.
@@gerhartrodriguez Amen! It may sound counter-intuitive, but the best kind of competition is when companies compete on who can send the most business to their "competition/community". Berel Solomon kinda makes this point in #6 of the 10 commandments of Business: ruclips.net/video/9e8que-eAKk/видео.htmlsi=IC0m8SA2feRmj1QY&t=191
I've been growing a beard for about 4 or 5 years now. I have a lot of knowledge, a great amount from Dan. If a video comes up and I think I know what the video is about, I still watch it. You never know what you can learn.
I'm one of those guys that was 100% committed to the beard, the community, products, and all the channels while I was learning and had the longer beard. When I shaved it, I took a couple of months off, but returned and now that I keep a short beard, I'm about 75% in. After this summer, I'm going all in again and letting it grow out to about 8 inches hopefully. I can't wait!
Checkin' in. I don't consume nearly as much beard content as I once did. Thanks to you and others like you, I'm confident in my beard care methods. Unfortunately, the novelty of knowing and having it all has worn off a bunch. I do come back to view topics that interest me. But the community and our niche was great to me and for me for many years. I'll always be attached in some form.
I'll say this Dan I been growing a beard for awhile and wanted to see reviews again for new companies I wanted to try and glad I stubbled across you. I felt my routine was out of wack and was using all different kinds of beard products that wasn't the greatest for it. Now the beard feels renewed and stronger for the advice you have given.
As a content creator myself, sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with everybody else, but I want you to know I’m always watching. I watch every video and I watch the live streams. I may not comment by watching in the background as always always got my support
I don't get to join the live streams often but really enjoy when I am able to. Love the content on your channel and the community you have created. Thank you for all that you do. Probably wouldn't have been inspired to start our beard product company without what I learned from you. Looking forward to what the future holds.
I'm normally going to bed so miss the the 9pm streams but love and watch the content. After 3ish years still find new approaches and perspectives about beard care and life. Thanks Dan 🤜🤛
Dan, I may not always be active and dont spend alot of time in lives but Im always watching your videos and my 2.5 year beard would not be as great as it is without you and this channel! Ive learned so much about my beard through this community. I will always support by using your promo codes to help ya get a kick back. There has been times when I just about had it and shaved it off but the universe sends me a notification of a Dan C Bearded video and thats all it took for me to put the clippers away and sit down to a video! (True story!) Thanks Dan for all you do and also a special thanks to all the great companies that come here to give us great products at a hell of deal!
You made two very good points-Finding what works, let alone what works best for you, demands time and attention. And that is complicated by your knowledge, experience, and beard growing and changing. So there is a feeling that you must keep up with everything. Your second point, complacency, can show itself in many areas of life when, for whatever thought process, you think some of what you’ve been doing is no longer relevant and you abandon it until you become aware of what you’ve lost. Two thoughts influence my viewer life cycle: That I may have something to offer, and I need to check that I’ve not developed bad habits.
I watch every video the day it drops. I’m definitely in the season where I’m not on as many live streams. I’m just so busy in the last few months. Just know I’m always a supporter.
I came to your channel to learn how to properly care for my beard. I've been learning how to care for it and trying some products. I'm finding the lines you've promoted that I've tried are working great. My beard is smoother, softer more manageable and the skin underneath it healthy. I do see my attention to be backing off slightly and watching topics of interest. I used to do martial arts, until a major ankle injury (job injury). I still watch the martial artists and practice some, but not to the extent I did before. There is still an interest and I do go back for tips or techniques. I can see the same with my beard.
I’ve always been a strong supporter for this channel as I continue to grow my beard. This is still my first beard that I’ve stayed with, and I am very excited to say it’s a little over a year and a half old, (they grow up so fast lol). I was told recently by some family that they were surprised that I’ve kept going with this beard life for as long as I have, but they were happy to see that I’m genuinely happy about growing and pursuing the beard life. Unfortunately I do have several family members and friends that don’t like my beard, and while it does upset me at times, I remind myself I’m growing it for me and only me. I do feel bad however, I haven’t been on a live stream in about a month. I recently started a new job, and my shift runs through the live stream time, I do still watch the replay though. But I will always be a strong supporter of this channel. And I’m beyond grateful for everything you provide Dan, and I’m very excited to watch my beard grow with the always new information, advice and growth of the channel. Thank you for all you do.
@@DanCBearded thank you. Yes the new job is absolutely amazing. The only unfortunate thing is, it’s the afternoon shift so I get out at 11:00pm, and I’m a morning person by nature, so that’s been the biggest adjustment. But I’m outside for at least 8 hours a day taking in the sunlight, dealing with wildlife, and sunsets. I love it.
I am a Veteran, I love thiccc thin and everything in between. I’ve been a member of this community for over 4 or 5 years now and love the community and the available information! Honestly can’t imagine not being part of this community and think everyone should feel welcome to come back; we are still here!😅
For me it’s always been a cycle with watching beard content (99% of that being Dan C). Started growing my beard for the first time during college/covid, pretty much binged videos all of 2020, barely watched for 2021, submitted to beard advice live in 2022 and started watching a lot of videos/livestreams for a few months then dipped off, same cycle again a few months ago. Same for the FB group. I’ll post and comment a lot and then stop for a while😂. Always love the content though Dan!
Been watching your videos for 4 years and still learning. Ovkors, yours are the only beard-related videos I still watch. I'm not an active part of the community but I've seen that it is incredibly positive, so I'd expect a lot of people continue to watch for that omnipresent positivity! Thanks, Dan, for all you do!
Hey, Dan! This my first time ever commenting even though I've been watching your videos for over 2 years now. My beard is a very important part of my life, and you've played one of the biggest and most important roles in making it an enjoyable part of my day. I used to be self-conscious and always feeling like I need to hide my beard from the world, but now I am very confident with it especially with the perspectives you and the community provide on how to deal with these things (especially the "bad beard day" video, that was a life changer). Unfortunately I haven't been able to experiment with a lot of products since I don't have access to almost all of them where I'm from, so I stick with one good oil brand and a soft head hair shampoo that doesn't seem to damage my beard, and yet I'm still here always watching your videos and many of the live streams (on reply because of time difference), and still very interested in these topics and always learning from the trusted teacher. Also, all of my bearded friends now rely on me for advice because I relay what I've learned from you, and they're all extremely happy with their beards when they follow your advice. Man, honestly thank you and the community very much for all your do, and for your incredible commitment to helping anyone publicly or privately.
Thanks @DanCBearded for caring about us no matter where we are in our content consumption lifecycle. Yes, I'm within that average cycle of beard content viewers subscribers. First 2 months of my what I didn't even know at the time was called a "yeard", I didn't watch any videos, it was only a few general googled articles offering little info, and I didn't even realize that I was missing lots of needed info and techniques. Then I came across DanCBearded channel. For a few months I watched way too many hours of beard videos every day. Finally, I settled into a routine and also realized that I couldn't spend my whole day on RUclips. When various beard issues came up, I would still be sure to search a couple of your videos about whatever my immediate issue was, then go about my week or month. Since I am a "All Notifications" subscriber to your channel, I do still watch videos that meet an immediate need. Like today, since I'm one of those occasional "take a beard day off" kinda guys, I'm fixina watch your recent "Bad Beard Days" video since I have had too many of those days during the last couple months, then go about my day. To show support, I'll probably re-post this comment inside your Command Corner FB group, too. Stay positive, stay bearded!
great thoughts on this, I understand the trend. I started my freedom beard after the Navy in 2011 I'm in it daily, even started doing content, it's in the blood. lots of great people to talk with that share in the passion
👀. Great video, Dan. I always tried to be a regular watching streams and videos, and I'm slowly catching up on content I've missed since taking a break from the community the past few months. Don't know if I'll get back on IG again as the break is honestly nice. Still have a tribe of awesome guys in the community, like yourself, I keep in touch with, and company wise I've been focused on a handful that kept in touch with me that I love supporting.
Spot on.! I started out about a year ago and i was consuming all the info and products i could get my hands on but i have learned what my beard likes and slowed down on over buying products . Well kinda! but anyway i can say i still follow my routine pretty consistently and try and catch the monday lives as much as i can! Thanks for all the great input you have provided !
Love this video-it's both interesting and informative. I can see the swing in interest, I think I'm just hooked myself . I really appreciate the bearded community; almost everyone I've encountered is encouraging and helpful, including the Trusted Teacher. Thanks!
Was back at command corner just last night for the first time in a bit. Some of the swing you were talking about and some of just life, but was glad I could be there.
Been right at 2 years for me. This last year my nightly butter has slacked since I started using balm during the day. Still keep up on vids and around. Unfortunately haven’t been on the lives in a while. Had fam stay with me for a few months then with starting new business beginning of year I’m 7 days a week.. come home from 9-5 and work on business for a couple/few hours always 5 things to do. My home life, family life etc is slacking. Barely see dogs or talk to fam. But I know I put 110% in now it will pay off in future👍 great vid Dan!!!🍻🍻🍻
I’ve been watching this channel for quite a while. Best beard advice wish I could see more of your live RUclips videos, living in England and time difference a bit of a bugger but I work around ir
I do sometimes feel weird about coming back to comment or viewing the videos. I really struggle with invites to things, so this really means a lot. Things I've learned: this is therapeutic for me, I need to take biotin on a every few day frequency right now, it helped more than I realized (I don't think I need daily, but idk). I need to add in a night routine, it's something weird I struggle with. I also know I need to get over the "I don't want to trim" mindset. I want my beard nice and long and I struggle with trimming.
Great video Dan! I’m still with you! Today I hit 3 years for my beard and it looks and feels great thanks to your videos guiding me in the right direction. Without knowing how to properly care for it, the longest I used to be able to let it go was 4-6 months. I’ve told everyone about your videos and beard care. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Dan, like many others in the beard community, I appreciate your channel and all you put into it. I know I’m always going to have questions regarding my beard as I travel this sometimes rough journey, but I’m glad you’re there to help guide us through it. We’re here man. “Stay Bearded, Stay Positive” 💪🏽
I’ve had facial hair off since sort since I got out of military school. It was just “whatever” until about a year or so ago. I think I started seriously growing it once I turned 51, and started giving serious care since October or thereabouts. I’m fully immersed now as I approach 52. I pretty much watch all the videos you put out whether I’m interested in it or not (like this one…wasn’t sure what it was going to be about). I always enjoy and give a 👍 but rarely comment. I’m the classic “lurker.” I’ve only watched one live stream in full (I usually forget until it’s almost over). Does a 👍 and a content do more than just a 👍 alone?
Hey Bryan, thanks for the kind words and all the forms of support. The comment does make a big difference. Comments are even more valuable than thumbs up
Bearded for most of the last 25 years. Was a typical guy. Buying whatever you see in the store..Eh this looks good and toss it in the cart. Online shopping at Amazon was more of the same, until products were being recommended. In the last 9 months, I decided to grow a better beard cause I can. 3 months ago I found this channel. I have learned a lot of things...( how to apply oil, products reviews like how Terrible beard pudding I purchased was )asked questions ,got great quick responses and watched a few live streams. Purchased some combs, heated brush,oils ,butters, and washes based on content and have seen improvement. 3 months later I am not consuming content as much, but I did Email in question last night . So I am just at the stage of knowing a bit , but need more experience with care and product use. Lol I see DanC on FB everyday with a Viking beard promo. FB prompts yesterday to follow so I will have another reminder to watch. Not an Instagram or X person.
Yea I subscribed several years ago and have also been away for several years. I just came back a few days ago and have been binging like crazy. I'm about to try and grow my beard longer than ever before ( which isn't long for you guys)
Love the video. After a solid year or more I'm finally feeling like I'm figuring out what I like and what's best for me. I learned so much valuable information from you and the community. Forever thankful
I have had a mustache for 35 years. Shaved it once in that time. As soon as I got out of an industry that did not allow beards I grew a goatee (patchy cheeks). Had that off and on for 20 years and continually since 18. In April I decided to grow a full beard. I am very much in the learning stage. When I get into something I am a voracious learner. Once I have a good understanding of something I move to a more casual observer, I try to stay current with new developments, but generally rely on a solid foundation that I built originally.
My beard routine constantly evolves at least it feels like it cause I try new things from time to time and many stay on. I watch the videos I find most interesting and that’s the ones with tips on different things and the science stuff. Don’t watch the ones with products as I can’t get most of them here in Sweden and that also is why I don’t log onto the livestreams. The different time zone makes it a little bit difficult. Think I got it all in here. Yes I forgot, thank you Dan for making such a great work with the videos. ❤️
@@DanCBearded Have tried the cold rinse after your video last week and I do think it has a positive effect. Will continue with it for some time and evaluate. So the routine constantly evolves.
Stopped following for about 2 years because the girlfriend didn’t like the facial fur. Back now in force because I’m single and bearded. Loving every second of it
I’m of Mexican heritage and am genetically blessed with a beard and body hair overall. Like a bear.😂. I stumbled upon your channel and learned many many new things. I appreciate it. I’m 24 and grow a beard more than my father.😂
I’m in a groove with beard care. I’ve found products and techniques I like. If there’s something interesting I’ll watch the video. Great for a start or restart.
I have been here since the beginning, however i do get busy and it gets lost that Monday is live stream or to watch the videos. Life gets so busy at times especially in the fall and winter time. Witch is the best time to watch live and videos. Soon we will be talking about fall scents that will be coming out in 4 months! I do love the info and hoping to have my brard down to second half of my chest but it's thinning.
I have found that I have not been watching as much beard content as I used to. I try to get in the livestreams, but I get up early and anything after 9 is tough for me. Many times I will be there for the first half hour or so. As far as regular videos go, and don't take this personally, its with many channels, the content seems to be getting recycled lately. Specifically with "how to" and "product review" videos. It seems like soooo many videos are about the same companies. My favorite types of videos are reviews of new companies that I haven't tried or haven't heard about in a while, the science (carrier oil), and the history videos. I haven't seen many of those in the past few months, so I have been watching videos on other topics. This one caught my attention because it is something different. I am definitely still enjoying some beard content, just not as much right now. I'm sure there will be a wave of content that better suits me soon. Keep up the videos!
Hey Dan. I've definitely been of the fall off variety. Don't use beard products as often as i used to and tend to keep it shorter these days. Been back on lately as the face was getting itchy and the beard feeling coarse. I still watch all your non review videos even as I know what I like and have plenty of product. Don't always comment but I'm here 😁 Cheers pal!
Regardless if you have a small beard or large beard its a great community,no negativity on live streams,i may not comment much but im always watching I personaly have tried alot of beard products and am always looking for that newunique ingredient.
That described me perfectly until the point of getting lax with the care due to complacency, yet..... Hopefully my practices are ingrained enough that it won't. Good video.
Yup ! that's my beard lifecycle. Learned a lot from you. It's coconut oil for the beard, and beeswax melted in coconut oil for the mustache. Aberlite send me a free bottle of beard oil.........it was OK.
A well taken care of beard is a lot of work. Sometimes people don't realize it. I tell people all the time it's as much work as clean shaving and probably more. I love it though as a hobby. I have been shaving my head for years and this gives me some hair to take care of that I missed out on much of my life. Started balding in my early 20's
Hey Dan new sub here. Just got my beard octane butta and oil in love that stuff. Had a question I grabbed some oils today. Two you had videos about and I loved that thank you. The third however no info just great reviews on Amazon and a seemingly great product. And that is Hair Gum huile soin barbe beard oil. It's made in France vegan ect ect and the ingredients seem to hold up. Would love to hear your opinion I got some bottles for 5.99 Canadian at winners. Stay bearded and thanks again
I've fallen into the category. But it's for different reasons. After such a dark winter I have been mowing for 12 hours a day 7 days a week to bank them dollars up. I try to make the live streams but end up falling asleep 10 minutes in. Lol. Wondering if you still have meetups here at home? I know you're a busy man too.
Totally understand! I haven’t had a local meetup in some time, mainly just because of being busy with family stuff. However, I would love to do another when possible!

I found your channel 5 years ago after I retired from the Navy and wanted to have a "Freedom Beard." Your channel has literally changed my life. I love my beard and the way it feels and looks. Never going to shave and I am going to be a lifetime subscriber to your channel. From the bottom of my heart I sincerely thank you Dan.
Lifelong friends and a true honor to have met you!
Hey Dan, very interesting perspective on the trends of viewership on your channel! I myself began my beard journey during the CoVid pandemic and can confirm that I had deep-dived into many of your videos during that time. With increased knowledge and confidence in beard care, I do agree that many viewers probably fall off the wagon and develop what I would describe as "Scuba Syndrome" 😆. I think there is a sweet spot that involves keeping the beard looking great but not obsessing and that's probably where we all want to end up throughout this journey 🙏 Great video
Thanks for sharing!
As a company, we see this same trend with many consumers. We totally understand the seasons of life, especially with something such as a beard. Great food for thought Dan!
I can totally see trends with companies as well! Seasonal trends of consumers
after trying the dan C bundle, i can say these products are legit, and i do plan to keep Doctor Nicks in my rotation going forward.
Personally, ive noticed that I dont need to buy products all that often. I want to try all of the good brands but shampoo and conditioner has been lasting me a good year! Oil/butter lasts me a month. I get emails all the time from companies ive ordered from reminding me to refill my supplies but I havent even gotten a chance to try out other ones to figure out what works best for my beard. I have Dr. Nicks on my list to try out as well 😉
Love your products!
Great video, topic & discussion!
So cool to learn about the seasons of bearding!
Thank Dan & keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
you're killing it Dan! we appreciate these videos very much!
Thank you!
Great topic Dan! I think I'm one of the outliers you mentioned in the beginning. I truly enjoy the content and the community! My interest hasn't waned, and I continue to learn new things and virtually meet great new people. I look forward to the streams and videos, and only miss if there is some other obligation (like work) that prevents me from watching. In those cases, I always find the replays enjoyable. You keep making great content, and I'll keep watching it. Thanks Dan!
I love that so much and appreciate it all! I am the same exact way and actually have to keep myself from making TOO MUCH content lol I can't get enough.
Same here JP!

Even companies go through these types of swings. Being that we can’t do our business full time yet I find some days or even weeks I don’t get back to people or our socials lack!
Am super happy and honoured sooo many reach out to see how we are, ask us whats going on or start those conversations.
It really is the best community for positivity and support! We appreciate EVERY SINGLE PERSON!
For sure!
I feel this comment! I just started a beard company at the beginning of the year and it definitely fluctuates as I cannot afford to jump all in and make it my full time thing just yet! Love this channel though! I follow along as often as I can.
I’ve basically been watching since the beginning and watched this channel grow so much. I went deep in and have watched almost everything. I like watching the livestreams too but in all honesty and nothing against you. I get so bored of people asking the same questions over and over and having to hear the same answers over and over. So I often take breaks from watching the content when I get bored of that but usually come back. You do a great job and I know people have questions. Just drives me nuts when they could just search the question and have a video of yours pop up after the stream. Not trying to be negative and sorry if it comes off like that.
Totally understand!! I am happy to be the guy to help with the same questions because there is always new viewers coming in. And for sure they can look it up, but it’s an honor to me that they would ask. I genuinely understand from a viewer though, on how that could be get old to hear.
i feel this is the case in every live stream in any type of content. it's just the nature of the cycles of viewers and people just looking for answers in the moment without the extra research.
@@jbgetsyawrecked you’re probably right. I don’t watch a lot of lives in general. I always make sure to watch if it’s dans and it’s on a company that I love.
The past three months as I'm growing my beard out I've been lurking and watching as you describe. I've had a short close cut beard for years and never paid much attention to it until I started growing it out. This channel is the most informative and helpful of those I've found.
I really appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you are finding some helpful content here! Always happy to help if you have questions 🤝
Hey Dan. I began growing my beard in 1980, my senior year at U of M. I never shaved again. There was no internet, no beard products, and only trimmers. It would have been great to have someone to talk with, to share with, to grow with. It wasn't to happen. I discovered a forum about 2010, and have been active with encouraging others. I found you as the trusted teacher, and have popped in on and off, as my time allows. Always love the content, and have gotten many pointers from you, especially with my longer beard (8 inches), and being Santa. You have been instrumental in fine tuning my beard for better health, and I so much appreciate your channel. And I couldn't imagine not getting new info, because in my lifelong beard journey, there could always be one better thing. Thanks. So, always good to stay tuned in. I must be one of the odd ones. Tom
What an amazing journey Tom! Go Blue!
I live in Texas now, with all the heat, but my heart always has a place in A squared.
To beard or not to beard is a question many guys struggle with. We see it all the time, sometimes the hardest part isn't even the growing, but the maintaining! Great video Dan!
Thanks guys!
Well I’ve been an eager consumer of your beard content for about 2 years, and can honestly say in that time don’t think I’ve missed a single video!! Not always the day they drop but I do view them when I can. Although I really enjoy the livestreams my schedule rarely affords me the opportunity to stay for the entire time. Virtually all the good beard info I’ve learned has come from you Dan. Yep you’re truly the trusted teacher!!👍💯
Man that’s humbling and amazing. Thank you!!
I have been out of the loop for a while. Binge watching the channel today. I'm back baby!!!
Welcome back my friend! Love seeing your name pop up
@@DanCBearded Thank you brother, see you tonight.
I have been watching the content and education the entire time. I agree my focus was education, styling advice, product reviews. This evolved into a beautiful community that is supportive and informative. I need this community, your videos and conversation to keep the positivity. Positivity is very intoxicating and this community you built represents that to its core
I need this community as well! It’s my village
I enjoy watching your vids simply because the genuine nature of them. Also, just in my opinion you and many other beard content creators just seem so welcoming and genuine and it’s simply nice to be a part of the bearded community. It truly feels like a brotherhood and we’re all learning. It’s great.
I appreciate that!
Listen Dan I go back twice and sometimes three times and watch beard content! I can’t get enough of it!!
I appreciate that my man! Truly 🤝
I started watching your content when I started my beard journey. The information you have provided has been so valuable to me on the journey. Being in England means I can’t always watch your live streams but I still watch your content and enjoy them.
I forget to mention, Manchester United FA cup winners 🎉🎉😂😂
That was the best game United played all year, the young pups looked phenomenal!
While I've only been here for 8 months or so, I find a great deal of comfort in this community. The content is exactly what I'm looking for. I totally appreciate the effort and time that you devote to all things beard related. Next month will mark my one year beard anniversary. I honestly could not have gotten this far with you. Many thanks to you Dan.
I love that so much! Thank you for the kind words 🤝
Dan I miss shows here and there. Always feel the,love from the community. Work and life gets in the way.
Totally understand!
Love this community and your videos led me here.
I agree that over this last year i have learned so much and am finding out what works for me with blends and scents. On the other hand since ive started content creation ive been more open to exploring new things and sharing my experiences. So it keeps me involved and more aware of whats going on in the community
Very cool!
Dan You Like The OWL Of This Beard Thing. FULL OF KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM✊🏿💪🏿🦉
Thank you!
I’ve definitely gone through some of these pendulum swings. I feel I have a good cadence of liking to learn on the subjects I’m not confident on or that are new, but with all your content I feel like I know more than 99.9% of the non-beard community. I certainly have a bit of an obsessive personality and dive in hard on subjects I find interesting such as gardening, astronomy, dog training, etc. The beard knowledge is no different and a lot of what you say resonates with me! Great stuff as always Teach!
Sounds very similar to me!
Love your videos! I had a beard for a number of years before I found your videos.
It was a sad looking beard. I don't want to go back to that. Watching your videos keeps me on track!
Love it!
I'm on the front end of the viewership currently. i decided to see what my beard can do a couple years ago but just winged it for most of that time. A few months ago, I decided i really need to do better about finding solid info and products to take my beard to the next level. I was super thankful to find Dan C, as he's now my #1 resource to feel confident i'm doing the right things for my beard, as well as keeping me informed on the cool new aspects of the hobby and products to check out. I came for more knowledge, but I plan to stick around for the community. I look forward to every monday night now, to pop in to Commands Corner, and enjoy taking part in the experiences of others on Wednesdays Beard Advice Live shows. I watch all new videos, as you never know what new info may be out there, or new revelations dan has had, even if the subject of the video is the same. not to mention dan is entertaining and great at what he does. I can truly thank dan for the condition my beard is currently in and i plan to stick around.
Thank you for the kind words and I love to hear all of that! Beautiful journey
You hit this on the head. I'm super consumed with the right care, products for my beard. I've found a lot of what works for me as an individual and that does play to the videos I check immediately or at a later date. I will tell you I check your videos before buying a new product ALWAYS. Some of the science stuff I'm not super up too speed on but without this channel I'd be spinning my wheels with guess work on good beard products. I don't always post but truly appreciate the hours of time and research that you put into this channel!
Thank you Dan!
I think this is the first time I've seen anyone address what is a very valid point. We all have our own beard journey and some drift off of it, many find what works and then that's it. Job done. I have had a beard of some kind for over half my life but only in that past 8-10 years and this current style of beard has youtube been around to help me. I have consumed hours, weeks, probably even months of videos in that time and it's been key to my bearded life. There's advice, styling tips and how-tos to the reviews etc (sadly for me as a UK viewer most of yours I don't check in on as its prohibitive to buy oil etc from so far away due to shipping etc).
What I find different about your channel is the info - you break things down so interestingly - likely coming from your school background. I don't comment much but have a few times over the years and I just want you to know that we love what you do and to keep on keeping on dude.
I really appreciate the kind words, perspective, and hearing from you. Thank you sir! My teaching background for sure has a massive imprint on my approach to the channel.
I discovered first the RUclips channel then the facebook community and I’m hooked!! I’ve never taken such good care of my beard and have learned soooo much!! Im addicted to all aspects. I started to feel a bit outta hand with my addiction to beard care products but it’s ok now because my wife is using them also!! She’s wearing Coastal Command oil in her hair and the balm on her skin today!! 😂 Love it and all the content and the community!! Stay bearded and stay positive for the win 💪🏻
That’s all awesome to hear Mike!
Is just the community for me. Everyone is always positive and no judging. Every video or live stream i learn new things no matter what.
So very true!
No matter what walk of life or what anyone is going thru. Everyone is here for each other. That is a cool thing. Something that always got me is beard companies treat each other. No competition in between companies. Companies help and support each other. This world beeds more of that support.
@@gerhartrodriguez Amen! It may sound counter-intuitive, but the best kind of competition is when companies compete on who can send the most business to their "competition/community". Berel Solomon kinda makes this point in #6 of the 10 commandments of Business: ruclips.net/video/9e8que-eAKk/видео.htmlsi=IC0m8SA2feRmj1QY&t=191
I've been growing a beard for about 4 or 5 years now. I have a lot of knowledge, a great amount from Dan. If a video comes up and I think I know what the video is about, I still watch it. You never know what you can learn.
I really appreciate that!
I'm one of those guys that was 100% committed to the beard, the community, products, and all the channels while I was learning and had the longer beard. When I shaved it, I took a couple of months off, but returned and now that I keep a short beard, I'm about 75% in. After this summer, I'm going all in again and letting it grow out to about 8 inches hopefully. I can't wait!
Love following the journey back!
Checkin' in. I don't consume nearly as much beard content as I once did. Thanks to you and others like you, I'm confident in my beard care methods. Unfortunately, the novelty of knowing and having it all has worn off a bunch. I do come back to view topics that interest me. But the community and our niche was great to me and for me for many years. I'll always be attached in some form.
Absolutely 🤝
Thank you for this video. Was a pleasant surprise running into it, after taking a break.
Good to see you man!
This is super interesting! I can see this similar cycle in things we have tried previously.
Oh I bet! I’m sure it’s similar in many niche communities
I'll say this Dan I been growing a beard for awhile and wanted to see reviews again for new companies I wanted to try and glad I stubbled across you. I felt my routine was out of wack and was using all different kinds of beard products that wasn't the greatest for it. Now the beard feels renewed and stronger for the advice you have given.
Oh that’s fantastic to hear!
As a content creator myself, sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with everybody else, but I want you to know I’m always watching. I watch every video and I watch the live streams. I may not comment by watching in the background as always always got my support
I appreciate that!
I don't get to join the live streams often but really enjoy when I am able to. Love the content on your channel and the community you have created. Thank you for all that you do. Probably wouldn't have been inspired to start our beard product company without what I learned from you. Looking forward to what the future holds.
Thank you so much!
He really is the beard ambassador 🤝
I'm normally going to bed so miss the the 9pm streams but love and watch the content. After 3ish years still find new approaches and perspectives about beard care and life. Thanks Dan 🤜🤛
Love that Jake!!
Dan, I may not always be active and dont spend alot of time in lives but Im always watching your videos and my 2.5 year beard would not be as great as it is without you and this channel! Ive learned so much about my beard through this community. I will always support by using your promo codes to help ya get a kick back. There has been times when I just about had it and shaved it off but the universe sends me a notification of a Dan C Bearded video and thats all it took for me to put the clippers away and sit down to a video! (True story!) Thanks Dan for all you do and also a special thanks to all the great companies that come here to give us great products at a hell of deal!
I’m glad the videos helped save the beard!
@@DanCBearded 7" beard now and nice and full! Im finding its alot easier to style now too. Must be trained well! 😁
You made two very good points-Finding what works, let alone what works best for you, demands time and attention. And that is complicated by your knowledge, experience, and beard growing and changing. So there is a feeling that you must keep up with everything. Your second point, complacency, can show itself in many areas of life when, for whatever thought process, you think some of what you’ve been doing is no longer relevant and you abandon it until you become aware of what you’ve lost. Two thoughts influence my viewer life cycle: That I may have something to offer, and I need to check that I’ve not developed bad habits.
Ohhhh I like the angle of having something to offer. I (and I know many others) always have something to learn from you Leo! Great food for thought
@@DanCBearded Thank you! I appreciate that!
I watch every video the day it drops. I’m definitely in the season where I’m not on as many live streams. I’m just so busy in the last few months. Just know I’m always a supporter.
Totally understand and appreciate it all! As well as the friendship 🤝
I came to your channel to learn how to properly care for my beard. I've been learning how to care for it and trying some products. I'm finding the lines you've promoted that I've tried are working great. My beard is smoother, softer more manageable and the skin underneath it healthy.
I do see my attention to be backing off slightly and watching topics of interest.
I used to do martial arts, until a major ankle injury (job injury). I still watch the martial artists and practice some, but not to the extent I did before. There is still an interest and I do go back for tips or techniques.
I can see the same with my beard.
Totally understand that!
I’ve always been a strong supporter for this channel as I continue to grow my beard. This is still my first beard that I’ve stayed with, and I am very excited to say it’s a little over a year and a half old, (they grow up so fast lol). I was told recently by some family that they were surprised that I’ve kept going with this beard life for as long as I have, but they were happy to see that I’m genuinely happy about growing and pursuing the beard life. Unfortunately I do have several family members and friends that don’t like my beard, and while it does upset me at times, I remind myself I’m growing it for me and only me. I do feel bad however, I haven’t been on a live stream in about a month. I recently started a new job, and my shift runs through the live stream time, I do still watch the replay though. But I will always be a strong supporter of this channel. And I’m beyond grateful for everything you provide Dan, and I’m very excited to watch my beard grow with the always new information, advice and growth of the channel. Thank you for all you do.
Totally understand on it all! I hope the new job is going well Dalton
@@DanCBearded thank you. Yes the new job is absolutely amazing. The only unfortunate thing is, it’s the afternoon shift so I get out at 11:00pm, and I’m a morning person by nature, so that’s been the biggest adjustment. But I’m outside for at least 8 hours a day taking in the sunlight, dealing with wildlife, and sunsets. I love it.
I am a Veteran, I love thiccc thin and everything in between. I’ve been a member of this community for over 4 or 5 years now and love the community and the available information! Honestly can’t imagine not being part of this community and think everyone should feel welcome to come back; we are still here!😅
Love that!!
For me it’s always been a cycle with watching beard content (99% of that being Dan C). Started growing my beard for the first time during college/covid, pretty much binged videos all of 2020, barely watched for 2021, submitted to beard advice live in 2022 and started watching a lot of videos/livestreams for a few months then dipped off, same cycle again a few months ago. Same for the FB group. I’ll post and comment a lot and then stop for a while😂. Always love the content though Dan!
Always here when needed 🤝
Great video! Yeah a lot of people go hard into a topic, get overwhelmed, and then step away for a bit. It's all about balance
Balance is key and that’s what I want to strive to setup for everyone
Been watching your videos for 4 years and still learning. Ovkors, yours are the only beard-related videos I still watch. I'm not an active part of the community but I've seen that it is incredibly positive, so I'd expect a lot of people continue to watch for that omnipresent positivity! Thanks, Dan, for all you do!
Thank you so much! That is really cool to hear
Hey, Dan!
This my first time ever commenting even though I've been watching your videos for over 2 years now. My beard is a very important part of my life, and you've played one of the biggest and most important roles in making it an enjoyable part of my day. I used to be self-conscious and always feeling like I need to hide my beard from the world, but now I am very confident with it especially with the perspectives you and the community provide on how to deal with these things (especially the "bad beard day" video, that was a life changer).
Unfortunately I haven't been able to experiment with a lot of products since I don't have access to almost all of them where I'm from, so I stick with one good oil brand and a soft head hair shampoo that doesn't seem to damage my beard, and yet I'm still here always watching your videos and many of the live streams (on reply because of time difference), and still very interested in these topics and always learning from the trusted teacher.
Also, all of my bearded friends now rely on me for advice because I relay what I've learned from you, and they're all extremely happy with their beards when they follow your advice.
Man, honestly thank you and the community very much for all your do, and for your incredible commitment to helping anyone publicly or privately.
Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to comment 🤝
Thanks @DanCBearded for caring about us no matter where we are in our content consumption lifecycle. Yes, I'm within that average cycle of beard content viewers subscribers. First 2 months of my what I didn't even know at the time was called a "yeard", I didn't watch any videos, it was only a few general googled articles offering little info, and I didn't even realize that I was missing lots of needed info and techniques. Then I came across DanCBearded channel. For a few months I watched way too many hours of beard videos every day. Finally, I settled into a routine and also realized that I couldn't spend my whole day on RUclips. When various beard issues came up, I would still be sure to search a couple of your videos about whatever my immediate issue was, then go about my week or month. Since I am a "All Notifications" subscriber to your channel, I do still watch videos that meet an immediate need. Like today, since I'm one of those occasional "take a beard day off" kinda guys, I'm fixina watch your recent "Bad Beard Days" video since I have had too many of those days during the last couple months, then go about my day. To show support, I'll probably re-post this comment inside your Command Corner FB group, too. Stay positive, stay bearded!
I appreciate it all and will always be here to help whenever needed 🤝
great thoughts on this, I understand the trend. I started my freedom beard after the Navy in 2011 I'm in it daily, even started doing content, it's in the blood. lots of great people to talk with that share in the passion
Agreed! Such a healthy outlet
👀. Great video, Dan. I always tried to be a regular watching streams and videos, and I'm slowly catching up on content I've missed since taking a break from the community the past few months. Don't know if I'll get back on IG again as the break is honestly nice. Still have a tribe of awesome guys in the community, like yourself, I keep in touch with, and company wise I've been focused on a handful that kept in touch with me that I love supporting.
Glad to see you back 🤝
Good to know I always got Dan the dude in my corner. Thanks bro 🙏 Really scary accurate video too wow 😅
Always 🤝
Spot on.! I started out about a year ago and i was consuming all the info and products i could get my hands on but i have learned what my beard likes and slowed down on over buying products . Well kinda! but anyway i can say i still follow my routine pretty consistently and try and catch the monday lives as much as i can! Thanks for all the great input you have provided !
I appreciate it all!
Love this video-it's both interesting and informative. I can see the swing in interest, I think I'm just hooked myself . I really appreciate the bearded community; almost everyone I've encountered is encouraging and helpful, including the Trusted Teacher. Thanks!
Thanks Tom! glad you enjoyed it
Was back at command corner just last night for the first time in a bit. Some of the swing you were talking about and some of just life, but was glad I could be there.
Good to see you man!
Dan, again your on point Sir. Thanks, and bless you bro, BEARD-ON!!
Much appreciated
Been right at 2 years for me. This last year my nightly butter has slacked since I started using balm during the day. Still keep up on vids and around. Unfortunately haven’t been on the lives in a while. Had fam stay with me for a few months then with starting new business beginning of year I’m 7 days a week.. come home from 9-5 and work on business for a couple/few hours always 5 things to do. My home life, family life etc is slacking. Barely see dogs or talk to fam. But I know I put 110% in now it will pay off in future👍 great vid Dan!!!🍻🍻🍻
Totally understand it all and proud of you!
I’ve been watching this channel for quite a while. Best beard advice wish I could see more of your live RUclips videos, living in England and time difference a bit of a bugger but I work around ir
I appreciate you!
I do sometimes feel weird about coming back to comment or viewing the videos. I really struggle with invites to things, so this really means a lot.
Things I've learned: this is therapeutic for me, I need to take biotin on a every few day frequency right now, it helped more than I realized (I don't think I need daily, but idk). I need to add in a night routine, it's something weird I struggle with.
I also know I need to get over the "I don't want to trim" mindset. I want my beard nice and long and I struggle with trimming.
Love that reflection!!
I enjoy watching all your content and learning new informative information that leads me and many others to be the best we can be
I appreciate that!
Hey Dan . I keep on coming back to you as I keep on changing length of my beard. Your channel is lovely and beloved to me
Thank you!
Love your channel!! Been watching around a year or longer i think, still watch all your videos, excluding live feeds.
Thank you!!
Great video Dan! I’m still with you! Today I hit 3 years for my beard and it looks and feels great thanks to your videos guiding me in the right direction. Without knowing how to properly care for it, the longest I used to be able to let it go was 4-6 months. I’ve told everyone about your videos and beard care. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻👍🏻
That is so awesome to hear! I am truly glad
Hey Dan, like many others in the beard community, I appreciate your channel and all you put into it. I know I’m always going to have questions regarding my beard as I travel this sometimes rough journey, but I’m glad you’re there to help guide us through it. We’re here man.
“Stay Bearded, Stay Positive” 💪🏽
I appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words
I’ve had facial hair off since sort since I got out of military school. It was just “whatever” until about a year or so ago. I think I started seriously growing it once I turned 51, and started giving serious care since October or thereabouts. I’m fully immersed now as I approach 52.
I pretty much watch all the videos you put out whether I’m interested in it or not (like this one…wasn’t sure what it was going to be about). I always enjoy and give a 👍 but rarely comment. I’m the classic “lurker.” I’ve only watched one live stream in full (I usually forget until it’s almost over). Does a 👍 and a content do more than just a 👍 alone?
Hey Bryan, thanks for the kind words and all the forms of support. The comment does make a big difference. Comments are even more valuable than thumbs up
Yes dan great content as always
Thank you!
I always float in and out depends on work and family commitments
Totally understand!
Bearded for most of the last 25 years. Was a typical guy. Buying whatever you see in the store..Eh this looks good and toss it in the cart. Online shopping at Amazon was more of the same, until products were being recommended. In the last 9 months, I decided to grow a better beard cause I can. 3 months ago I found this channel. I have learned a lot of things...( how to apply oil, products reviews like how Terrible beard pudding I purchased was )asked questions ,got great quick responses and watched a few live streams. Purchased some combs, heated brush,oils ,butters, and washes based on content and have seen improvement. 3 months later I am not consuming content as much, but I did Email in question last night . So I am just at the stage of knowing a bit , but need more experience with care and product use. Lol I see DanC on FB everyday with a Viking beard promo. FB prompts yesterday to follow so I will have another reminder to watch. Not an Instagram or X person.
Glad you found the channel! I will see you tonight on stream my friend!
Yea I subscribed several years ago and have also been away for several years. I just came back a few days ago and have been binging like crazy. I'm about to try and grow my beard longer than ever before ( which isn't long for you guys)
Welcome back Reggie!
Love the video. After a solid year or more I'm finally feeling like I'm figuring out what I like and what's best for me. I learned so much valuable information from you and the community. Forever thankful
That’s so awesome Jeffereey!
I have had a mustache for 35 years. Shaved it once in that time. As soon as I got out of an industry that did not allow beards I grew a goatee (patchy cheeks). Had that off and on for 20 years and continually since 18. In April I decided to grow a full beard. I am very much in the learning stage. When I get into something I am a voracious learner. Once I have a good understanding of something I move to a more casual observer, I try to stay current with new developments, but generally rely on a solid foundation that I built originally.
Sounds pretty reflective of the lifecycle 🤝
My beard routine constantly evolves at least it feels like it cause I try new things from time to time and many stay on. I watch the videos I find most interesting and that’s the ones with tips on different things and the science stuff. Don’t watch the ones with products as I can’t get most of them here in Sweden and that also is why I don’t log onto the livestreams. The different time zone makes it a little bit difficult. Think I got it all in here. Yes I forgot, thank you Dan for making such a great work with the videos. ❤️
Totally understand it all!
@@DanCBearded Have tried the cold rinse after your video last week and I do think it has a positive effect. Will continue with it for some time and evaluate. So the routine constantly evolves.
Great video, Dan
Thanks!
Stopped following for about 2 years because the girlfriend didn’t like the facial fur. Back now in force because I’m single and bearded. Loving every second of it
That for sure is/was a red flag!
Great video Dan!
Thanks Shane!
Dan,
Spot on…… As always!
JB
I really like this video!
I’m of Mexican heritage and am genetically blessed with a beard and body hair overall. Like a bear.😂. I stumbled upon your channel and learned many many new things. I appreciate it. I’m 24 and grow a beard more than my father.😂
That’s awesome man!
I’m in a groove with beard care. I’ve found products and techniques I like. If there’s something interesting I’ll watch the video. Great for a start or restart.
Awesome!
I shaved last week. Regrowing business beard. 💪
Whoaaa! That was not on my bingo card of expected comments. Well hey, genuinely excited to follow your journey back! I know you will keep me posted
@@DanCBearded lol, I'll tell you her name eventually 🤣😉
I have been here since the beginning, however i do get busy and it gets lost that Monday is live stream or to watch the videos. Life gets so busy at times especially in the fall and winter time. Witch is the best time to watch live and videos. Soon we will be talking about fall scents that will be coming out in 4 months! I do love the info and hoping to have my brard down to second half of my chest but it's thinning.
It's also sad to see the company's close up shop like mad dog or Chesapeake beard Co! But nice to see new ones to start.
I appreciate you 🤝
I have found that I have not been watching as much beard content as I used to. I try to get in the livestreams, but I get up early and anything after 9 is tough for me. Many times I will be there for the first half hour or so.
As far as regular videos go, and don't take this personally, its with many channels, the content seems to be getting recycled lately. Specifically with "how to" and "product review" videos. It seems like soooo many videos are about the same companies. My favorite types of videos are reviews of new companies that I haven't tried or haven't heard about in a while, the science (carrier oil), and the history videos. I haven't seen many of those in the past few months, so I have been watching videos on other topics. This one caught my attention because it is something different. I am definitely still enjoying some beard content, just not as much right now. I'm sure there will be a wave of content that better suits me soon. Keep up the videos!
Thanks for sharing. I totally understand
I guess i subscribed your channel in 2019 and i love your videos
Such a long time and so cool to hear!
Hey Dan. I've definitely been of the fall off variety. Don't use beard products as often as i used to and tend to keep it shorter these days. Been back on lately as the face was getting itchy and the beard feeling coarse.
I still watch all your non review videos even as I know what I like and have plenty of product.
Don't always comment but I'm here 😁
Cheers pal!
I appreciate it buddy!
I love your brain Dan always on point
Thanks!
For the ragorithm. Appreciate the content.
Thank you!!
For the "Al Gore Rhythm" - Then you have weirdos like me that don't have a beard but are lurking 'n liking since 2019. 🤣
I love it!
I start watching your videos whenever the length of my beard goes bigger than 2 inches from chin 😊
That's awesome!
I still watch the videos after all these years
I appreciate that!
Watching with caps on and it said you were Dancy Bearded. New t-shirt idea
haha love it
This content has been soooooooooooo helpful
I’m so glad!
Regardless if you have a small beard or large beard its a great community,no negativity on live streams,i may not comment much but im always watching I personaly have tried alot of beard products and am always looking for that newunique ingredient.
I appreciate all of that!
That described me perfectly until the point of getting lax with the care due to complacency, yet..... Hopefully my practices are ingrained enough that it won't. Good video.
Thank you Jason! Always good to hear from you
Yup ! that's my beard lifecycle. Learned a lot from you. It's coconut oil for the beard, and beeswax melted in coconut oil for the mustache.
Aberlite send me a free bottle of beard oil.........it was OK.
I appreciate you! Not a fan of the aberlite beard oil. They are an affiliate of mine, but because they have the best heated brushes!
Life keeps getting in the way of my plans. Not enough hours in my day sometimes.
Totally get that!
A well taken care of beard is a lot of work. Sometimes people don't realize it. I tell people all the time it's as much work as clean shaving and probably more. I love it though as a hobby. I have been shaving my head for years and this gives me some hair to take care of that I missed out on much of my life. Started balding in my early 20's
It really is! In the best way possible
its like you made a video about me! lol love it
haha many will relate!
I hope you’re doing well Dan, if you’re ever in Phoenix let’s go to top golf and talk about beards! Haha but seriously I hope everything’s ok
Doing great man, thanks for asking!
Follower/watcher for going on 3 years. Still learning. Hoping the Mayer is ok. 👌.
Thank you 🤝
Hey Dan new sub here. Just got my beard octane butta and oil in love that stuff. Had a question I grabbed some oils today. Two you had videos about and I loved that thank you. The third however no info just great reviews on Amazon and a seemingly great product. And that is Hair Gum huile soin barbe beard oil. It's made in France vegan ect ect and the ingredients seem to hold up. Would love to hear your opinion I got some bottles for 5.99 Canadian at winners. Stay bearded and thanks again
I have never heard of that one or tried so I can’t really say. Sorry man!
@@DanCBearded not a worry man maybe you could check it out sometime make some easy content on it.
I've fallen into the category. But it's for different reasons. After such a dark winter I have been mowing for 12 hours a day 7 days a week to bank them dollars up. I try to make the live streams but end up falling asleep 10 minutes in. Lol. Wondering if you still have meetups here at home? I know you're a busy man too.
Totally understand! I haven’t had a local meetup in some time, mainly just because of being busy with family stuff. However, I would love to do another when possible!
Good morning.
Morning!
