As a couple gets older, you just don't know when a spouse might become incapacitated or otherwise unable to perform basic tasks and I feel it's important to know how to properly trim my wife's beard.
Great tutorial. Unlike others you're all info, not all sponsorship. Plus I"m bald and have a similar beard colour pattern so it helps imagine what that style would look like. Thanks.
Great video, this is the style I want. I have a one month growth I figure by the end of this month it's time for a trim and this is the vid I will use.
Don't sell yourself short, you are one very handsome man. Mrs. Boswell chose wisely. And thank you for including all the small details of what your doing, how to do it and equally importantly, why you're doing it.
The master has done it again, at the shortest I’ve seen, and it still looks really nice. I like your beard best at about one inch but that’s irrelevant 😊
Not related to this particular video but I just tried your tip of using hair conditioner instead of shaving cream and it really is amazing ! Thank you so much for your videos ! Merry Christmas and happy new year
I've been watching your videos for a long time absolutely amazing love your beard trimming videos and your inspirational ones. Thank you. This year I'm trying to stay warm because I've lost my home and was let go from my job due to a serious health condition however your inspirational messages keep me pushing forward. MERRY Christmas to you and your family. God bless.
Thank you so much! Im so sorry that you’re going through this right now. How are you getting by? Do you have people in your life who help you? I really hope that you have a nice Christmas!
@@GregBoswell428 Thank you for the reply sir. I really do appreciate the inquiry. Unfortunately no...my current address has been a motel preying for a miracle in and out of hospitals. Funny story real quick from years ago. I also started loosing my hair mid thirties and stumbled upon one of your beard tutorials and followed along, the following day I had got a promotion at work I must say it was the beard trimming video and the confidence from your inspirational ones...I appreciate what you do. 😌 Thank you again.
@@tooroptube4980 I sincerely hope everything works out for the best for you. The positive attitude you have shows you have the fortitude to push thru and thrive. Merry Christmas.
You have a unique dare I say trademark mustache as in one half is still very brown and almost black and the other half is salt and pepper!! Very cool sir!!
I am sold on your videos and on the trimmer you used. Unfortunately here in Europe they are very difficult to get and the prices are 2 or 2.5 times above the price in the US.
Happy New Year Greg. This was a super helpful video. I followed it exactly and greatly liked the look of my beard post trim. I went from a medium long length to short, have been wanting to do that for a while and the timing of this video can't be better. Thank you so much for making great beard maintenance videos. Great recommendations on the beard care products. I am probably going to keep my beard for a long time, not going back to a clean shaven look.
👏👏Bravo,stavo cercando propio questo, ogni volta che devo fare sotto il mento ho paura di sbagliare😨......poi sbaglio tagliandola più corta del previsto😖 ma questa volta vincerò io🤣😉Grazie del video e Buone Feste🎄🎊🎋
I remember in a past video you did 20 mm on the bottom of the beard. Why not 15-20 mm on the bottom of the beard, and 9mm on the front? Would that not give the appearance of a bigger, fuller, crisp, and clean beard?
G'day Greg, I have a Wahl Senior cordless trimmer I use on my beard. When you talk about mm guards, do you think the mm is consistent across manufacturers? Just trying to decide to use your mm recommendations, as I like the length you ended up with for a summer beard down here in Australia. Cheers mate, Pete
Fantastic guide. However, I would not recomend following the steps regarding the sideburns if you have longer hair, or if you, like me, have a clipper that does not guard from all angles, leading to me deleting my sideburns when I tried to use the 1mm guard. :)
When you're shaving with a razor and following it up with an After Shave, do you worry about mixing the After Shave sent with your beard oil or beard balm scent?
That’s a great question. I have a couple of different after shave products and I always try to match the lotions and oils up as well as I can. I do have beard oils, balms, and butters with exact matches of after shave lotion from Artius Man.
@@GregBoswell428 Thanks. This is my first beard, and I have been watching these beard oil reviews, but wondering does it mean that if I also need a balm, does that I should purchase both the oil and balm in that scent? I didn't get this at first, so have a bunch of oils but only one balm in one scent and that's not working now scent match wise. Seems I have to buy both in the scent every time.
I have exactly the same trimmer as you. The most challenging part of my beard trim right now is that I want to shorten it up but I want the front goatee area to stay long. The hairs from my lower lip now extend to the bottom of my chin, about 3”. I like the smooth look of that but want to tighten-up elsewhere. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Greg!
@@GregBoswell428 LOL...I just took a good chunk from the corner of my mouth the width of my trimmer and about 3/4" towards my jaw trying to smooth out the stair-step. I remember distinctly from a previous turorial you say "guys, you've got to be so, so careful doing this..." I guess you really dont learn anything until you mess up yourself. So much for me looking good for holiday pics this year! Thanks again for the great tutorials and I hope you and your family have a safe and merry christmas.
You a know that your face is initially cute Second: you are a single normal explanation man in my Russian canal and only one who explained to me how ito treat with my owebrows
And sorry, i only adorable, forgot my english, because i am a russian, live in USSR , my grandma is original Sweden, and i suppose to me to be in a man of whole of the world man.. Earth- is only my rule; earth: only my temple, after, only me, freedom is in tower and m😊 Ps always i do mistakes, only in worlds, not in my mindesv
Great, super awesome. Thank you! One thing. I noticed you say 9mm attachment all the way closed is actually 10mm and all the way open is 10.9mm simply because it’s not zero blade and on that lever with buttons that goes up and down shows 1mm, 1.3, 1.6, and 1.9. Therefore this would be the attachment plus 1.9mm when opened all the way. But for simplicity sake, that’s probably easier the way you say it.
if you place the 6mm guard and drop it to make 7mm, you in reality are making it 8mm cause the full drop equal 1.9mm. So 6mm guard plus full drop down of 1.9mm equals 8mm.
This is definitely a straight man, the way he was just aggressively using those clippers around his mouth like meh if I cut too much off it’ll grow back.
It's because he trims with the grain as opposed to against the grain. The truth is, this is a very inefficient way to trim your beard because it doesn't actually achieve the desired length. For example: If you trim everything with the grain with a 9 mm guard, the beard will actually be longer, maybe 13-14 mm. I'm not joking, the difference is actually really big. The reason for this is because trimming with the grain only compresses the hair down and flattens it against the skin, making it hard and sometimes impossible for the blades to actually cut any hair. But going against the grain will push everything up and out, cutting everything not only more evenly, but also at the actual length of the guard. So if you want your beard to be 9 mm long, trim against the grain for a proper and even trim. NOTE: In order to avoid mistakes and end up with a much shorter beard than desired, use a longer guard than you think you need.
Nice beard! I have trimmed my beard similarly in the past except that I go against the grain as I feel personally that I get a more uniform look. Now you might have to have a longer garden so you don't trim off more then you planned to since I think it does take off more that way, but again I think I get a more uniform look that way as it trims more of the hairs. Also I have my head shaved and I fade my beard all of the way down to my bald head so I don't have a hard stop which I think looks better.
Oh, you are absolutely right! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I don’t know what I was thinking. That’s what you get when you are over-confident of a topic and you pass over the smallest details. That will be a lesson to me.
Короче, единственное видео нормального человека, которыц показал, как обработать брови лпять же нормально мужчины, респект. Но совет от меня, ч слежу за собой, но жена отдалилась, не все одинаковые и как тут быть??? Я не предатель, она ушлв и приходит и спит рядом, я дурак, наверное
Appreciate that you include the ladies here. My wife absolutely LOVES my beard and is very concerned with anything I do to it.
That’s so cool! It’s always nice if they can appreciate it, too.
Been waiting for a new beard trim video! Here’s to many more beard videos in 2023!
5:35 Starting step
6:15 Trim beard with the grain, not against it | Start with 9mm (not #9) first. Then go to 7mm (again, not #7)
Absolutely one of the best beard trimming videos on RUclips. Thank you so much up.
Seeing lots of videos out on RUclips , and this is the Best and simple way to trim my beard . Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

Most challenging is lining up the front bottom of the beard so it evenly flows into the sides evenly allong the bottom of the Beard.
Great video. Your beard length is how I like mine. And I am a Live Bearded customer as well. Great stuff.
Good video, straight forward and simple technique to follow, thanks and Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you, too!

Useful for a novice, but also some advanced stuff. Nice!

You cut that line like a boss. I wish I could do that. Beard looks great. Good info.

Can you elaborate a little more about the difference between going with vs against the grain? Thanks for the awesome video btw
Thanks for watching! The difference will be a much shorter beard. It will not turn out like this

You’re awesome man! Great way to explain things too!
Thanks
The neckline is a real problem for me, I can't seem to get both sides even 😛
I know what you mean. It’s probably the easiest thing to mess up on a beard trim
Thank you brother, I like it and the lady approves.
That’s great to hear!
Thanks again for video very helpful ,one question ,I presume you don't wash your beard everyday,but do you wet your beard everyday? Thank you
Well, I do shower everyday
Mess around and find out😂

Hey. If you use a 3mm guard why does it not cut the hair to…3mm? Yours still seems to stay a longer length.

Hey great tutorial, just a minor correction
6mm guard + 1.9mm (micro all the way down) is 8mm
Oh, you are absolutely right! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I don’t know what I was thinking. That’s what you get when you are over-confident of a topic and you pass over the smallest details. That will be a lesson to me.
What if your beard grows in a different dirt under the chin?
"What I like about this is that it is my wife's favorite length" -- right answer, sir.
I lost my guards awhile ago and my eyebrows started looking like Dan C Bearded’s mustache. Okay, maybe not that long lol.
😂😂😂
8:24 is good enough for me and I stop there. All that extra work and changing guards doesn't seem worth it.
When you "open all the way up" with the brio you are actually adding 1.9 mm to each guard. A "closed" brio adds 1 mm. You're welcome!
Yeah, I misspoke on that. I’m not sure how I overlooked that. I should have paid more attention.
@@GregBoswell428 No worries, these things happen. Still a great video. 👍

Looks nice ..but looked better a little longer.. you REALLY NEED TO DYE IT. you would look so much younger!!!
Beard bib 🤦🏻♂️😂😂 Why do Americans always trim over a sink??? Do it in the bedroom and then just vacuum the hair up.
Which one is better the brio electric shaver or the wahl trimmer?
It's ok, nowadays women can have beards. Don't forget about the transformers. Lol
😂😂
Great video! Well done!
I actually took notes for the first time and have had a beard 5 years
Thanks!
