Hello 👋 I just watched your video on the nails & and calluses. I noticed that you need to trim up your beard to match up, and you / people won't be able to see through it. & I am not bashing you. I am saying you do that, and it will look better.
@@johnhorchler667 Hey John, that would be called unsolicited advice. This was not a video about my beard appearance and did not ask for beard trim or style feedback. I happen to think it looks perfectly fine!
Always taking the beard game to another level. We worry about combs, but not the fingernails. Thanks for bringing up this thought. If anything else it is awareness.
Especially taking biotin I have to stay on top on my nails and keep them trimmed more often. Definitely a subject that doesn’t get enough attention in the men’s grooming world. Another good one Dan! 👊🤘
My hands are callused 😮, nails are often jagged, great advice! It makes perfect sense, just like using a comb that has imperfections in the teeth! This is great advice and something I’ve never thought about! Who on Earth would mock solid advice like this??? Keep bringing it Dan, thank you!
Never thought rubbing and scratching my beard hairs and my face skin with my... fingernails?! No. Fingertips and palms, on the other hand, yeah, but i guess that's different. Also, i keep my nails quite trimmed and neat and as short as possible, also as clean as possible. Our nails and fingers I guess deserve a similar health care as our beard-beasts do. Btw, I just wash and put some oil on my beard daily at least.
on a more serious note, this is a great reminder to pay close attention to anything interacting with the beard. We work so hard and spend so much money to keep our beard solid, its important to find anything that could throw a wrench in the progress that we may not be aware of. scheduling manicure now. lol
If you are taking biotin and collagen supplements or anything heavy in those essential B vitamins, this is something you should be taking care of regularly. I've noticed the frequency of clipping my nails and the need to nourish my hands and skin since I started those. It's just like with the good tools we use, the right combs or brushes, the right oil and butter... your hands are also tools. Keeping them top notch is important for the beard and obviously overall health.
Interesting subject and never thought of this. I keep my nails trimmed and wash my hands frequently. Glad you brought this to our attention. I earned a long time ago it is never good to use your fingernails to scratch your scalp when washing. I follow the same process for my beard.
I have very good and healthy fingernails and I wash my hands thoroughly and constantly. But that is a good point if somebody bites their nails and they’re jagged, they could definitely rip out some hairs.
Finally this subject has been addressed! In general if rake your nails across your arm and it hurts, time for a good nail trim. Followed up with an emery board to shape and smoothness. Keep in mind biotin is great for the whiskers, skin and nails. Your nails will grow quicker than you think.
I have guitar nails (left hand nails cut all the way down, right hand perfectly rounded and buffed smooth as glass) the beard benefits never crossed my mind =)
YES! this is important I realized this sometime ago. Keeping well manicured, short, smooth and well rounded finger nails are a must for beard grooming. Also your partner will greatly appreciate this as well, trust me 😉.
I bought a manicure kit after some things transpired with my ex-wife. I know my nails would get caught in my regular hair but didn't really get caught in my beard. Seeing this makes me want to get back on the routine I had at one point by doing COMPLETE body self care. I used to do it on Sunday and would call it Self-Care Sunday. Your videos and mostly this commuity's ecncouragement is helping me get back on track. Again, I say humbly, Thank you Dan.
I always try to keep my nails short, usually by filing. I just can't have long nails. Inevitably one will bend and hurt like heck. I will be more aware of my hands as they come into contact with my beard. Thanks Dan.
Dan, I actually do do this occasionally. My beard is just growing out, but help me keep it in line, somewhat however, I am careful not to snag it. I have very short nails and No calluses on the tips of my fingers. Thanks for all the great content! I wouldn’t be able to do this properly without your help! JB
I have a pair of Lux's nail trimmers. They don't leave my nails jagged. Dave has a good pair of scissors as well. All of the grooming tools over at Luxurious Bastard are top quality.
Great video & topic! I can see how long nails & callus can shred the beard. I have had to train & stop myself from touching the beard throughout the day. Thank you Dan & keep it up!
Great video and I would have never thought that and makes so much since so I also love research and after each video I do a little of my own research and this makes so much great since thanks Dan for this info for real
Oh, I know I touch my beard too much lol. I remind myself internally "Don't touch, don't restyle it looks fine, etc." Nails aren't too terribly long, but I know I'm probably doing some form of damage - albeit slow.
As I sit here listening picking my nails. It's a bad habit since 4th grade. I have had alot of split ends two months ago and have been too busy to pick them and now it seems like less split ends. Thanks for another great tip Dan!
My nails are currently a mess lol. The only good thing for me that came out of 2020 is that I wash my hands CONSTANTLY so they are typically pretty clean.
Working at the Zoo on weekends means I trim my nails every Friday, you don't want long nails up there with all the animals and their "by products" not to mention all the raw chicken we process for feeding evey day.
Cmon!! Lets see those nails!!!! In all seriousness, great information! Never thought of it but I do have bad, jagged nails from chewing the crap out of them. Its a hard habit to break as I get a lot of anxiety when driving. Now I realize that I do get a few hairs that are wrapped in between my fingers after running my hands through my beard and very well could be caused by my fingernails! Gotta work on that...Thanks for bringing this up, Brother!
Ok I have to cut my nails quite often due to taking collagen and biotin. I also will use a finger nail file if I get jagged edges mostly because I hate when they kinda get stuck on the silk sheets and pillow case. I work on my property a lot and don’t wear gloves so the hands get pretty rough. What really helps them is leaving the beard butter on my hands at bed time that’s left over from applying to my beard.
I made a big time trim because of this. I would always touch my beard because I drive for a living and not paying attention . Started about two months ago and working on not doing that bad habit
Honestly it makes so much sense but never thought about it until you said this.😮. Also anytime something seems off about my beard you have full reign to tell me something is wrong lol.
I’ve thought about this ever since I’ve started growing a beard! After cutting my nails, I file the rough edges to ensure smooth growth. Any time I notice an edge, I immediately file it down when I’m in between clippings. I’m bad on clipping. 😂🤦🏻♂️
Luckily I stopped biting my nails years ago after I had braces on my teeth because my braces prevented me from biting my nails also since I’ve let my beard grow longer I really never touch my beard especially after styling it let alone run my fingers through it.
Great info. Something I've never considered before. I'm going to try to be more conscious of how I handle my beard. My hands are very rough and I have a habit of stroking my beard throughout the day. For other reasons though, I've always tried to keep my nails short and any rough edges filed off. You've mentioned in a previous video that your beard is in the 13 to 14" range. Dumb question: From where would you measure from?... Bottom lip, chin, or even top of ear? Just wondering because of some goofy, friendly beard competition at work.
Hey Dan....I can certainly see this being an issue for some personally I haven't had an issue with iit probably cause I cut my nails constantly they grow so insanely fast lol
Hi Dan. Thanks for the advice, I have just started watching your videos, fantastic. This video was for me. I had the worst time, trying to grow a beard, because after a month it looks like bum fluff 😂😂 but I left for six months, and slowly it looked ok, and I am a man, who thought i would never have a beard. One big problem, itchy like mad, all the time, I use shampoo for beards, would oils help. Once again, thanks for the video, best wishes from the UK.
Great topic! This brings up a question I’ve had for a while now. I’ve developed this subconscious habit of “playing” with my beard especially while I’m at my desk working. I haven’t noticed any ill effects perhaps since my nails are trimmed and my hands are softer than a baby’s bottom, but do you feel in the long term this is potentially bad for the beard? I’ve tried to break the habit, but it’s proven really challenging!
Woah you mentioned nail biting. SPECIFICALLY how do you think my absolutely horrible embarrassing (but owning it so maybe I’ll change) habit of nail biting habitually could affect my beard when I touch it? Thanks Dan as always
This may be off-topic with the video, but have you tried The Bearded Mack "Tropical Storm" and DGC "Leland?" I know they have the same scent profiles. How do they compare? My name is Leland, so obviously, the DGC scent is intriguing, but I already have Tropical Storm. Thanks!
I had terrible (body) skin breakouts because of my nails and casual itching, usually shoulders and chest. just better clippers and i believe cheap 200 grit file, learning to only file up and down one direction (left to right or vice versa but not both) so they dont turn into blades more or less solved it. Im kinda interested how to best apply if one constantly has rough hands. Use lower palms for initial press in and oil on pick/comb to go through? With some work and hobbies it has to be tough to be gentle towards your beard
Hands can have calluses but still not be rough and jagged, especially with regularly using beard butter and oil. Either way, gentle application is the name of the game
I always wanna rub my beard know and than while at work I work with lumber and dry kiln where get so hot inside to dry lumber! Doctor Nick help me out and I conditioning my beard 3 times a week and my beard feel so much better!
Is it best to use the fingerprint pads versus the ends n nails. I usually use ends n nails,(not long, mostly) but I do that to maybe break up the dead skin cells or even dried BBQ sauce. Any thoughts is always welcomed... mostly 😅
Hey up Dan I am a new subscriber a quick question. I always used standard plastic comb previously after shower drying with a towel and using beard oil. I recently switched over to a wooden beard comb it was cheap one but after useing it I noticed more shedding then when I used to use the standard normal plastic comb should I be concerned by this. I know shedding is normal when brushing but when do you start to worry about loseing to much hair. I am kinda at the length of chest beard wise. The wooden comb say's smooth beard I assume that's the company who made them ever heard of them is it a product name you use just wondering?
@@DanCBearded is it beneficial to use a wooden comb then the one I have is anti static and natural peach wood it's not a long comb and has two sides for different length
@@DanCBearded hey up Dan wanted to update on said wooden beard comb after useing it there is definitely less snagging compared to a standard brush the teeth ain't that long though so it means I have to re brush part's all ready brush. I noticed on another upload of yours you mentioned about the boar's hair brush it's definitely a good brush for stubble but like you it's pretty forgotten about now. I love using it though back in my short stubble days. 🧔🤘
Here's a weird one for ya. My beard doesn't seem to want to absorb anything like oils, it seems like it just sticks to my hands and nothing gets in my beard.
Interesting! Are you washing daily and one of those days using a stripping wash? It is possible you have extremely low porosity hair, but still should absorb. Make sure to lean toward thin viscosity oils
@@DanCBearded I wash daily, I'm using King C. Gelette currently. But have used like Everyman Jack and Old spice. I use Everyman Jack Beard oil every once in a while and sometimes beard butter. I'm not too familiar with other things like "stripping wash" and the viscosity of what I'm using.
@NickBEADG Hey Nick, If I can give you some humble advice: Avoid Gillette king c beard shampoo because of the ingredients that are not good in the ingredient list. I would rather recommend true north co daily beard wash, EDC beard wash, Johnnie ray beard wash, dr nicks beard wash, beard octane beard wash. Great daily beard washes. With good ph suitable for the beard. The true north. Earn co daily wash is a game changer. By the way, I've you tried carrot oil ?
@@NickBEADG so your issue there is terrible to low quality products. Using proper products would make all of the difference in the world. Old spice is nearly all silicones and they do not absorb, really ever
I'm a blue collar worker always using my hands and because of that I have rough calases I sometimes use gloves not as much as I should tho I rather do my job without gloves. So what do you recommend I need the classes so my hands do not get sore
As long as they are not sharp and jagged, you are fine! The regular use of beard butter and oil can really help just by doing what you do with your beard
Nothing girlie about nail care. Everyone notices your nails and if your wrecking your beard as well it's just tragic. 💡hmmm...Dan C Bearded's DANiCure Kit ???? I can see the ad now So you think nail care's girlie and weird??.....Heck no, you do it fo yo beard!! And don't forget all the ladies you've been greetin'.....plus shakin' hands at that bizness meetin' Just think of all these benefits....and no way she gonna let you touch her .........car Don't scratch my paint, don't scratch my paint. So keep that beard healthy n' pure.....and give yourself a DANiCure There's lots of things it is.....but girlie it ain't!! I'll show myself out

I play with my beard too much esp at work. Hard habit to break. Great topic! 🍻🍻🍻
Soooo hard! Mine is while driving
Funny you mention laying on the back. Sometimes I sleep in a hospital bed, with the back up. The next day my beard is pristine, lol.

Exactly why I made this!
I've actually started using the little file on the nail clippers, for this exact reason. Never used it my whole life until the beard.
Boom, exactly!
Good food for thought
That’s the goal!
I thought about this when I realized I like to play in my beard so I check my nails about twice a week and I usually file down the edges
That is good upkeep!
Is slowly killing the beard similar to Killing it Softly?
only if you sing it
Got me a nail kit last year. Dont care if its not manly to take care of myself 😁
Same same! Loud and proud
why not spray water, spray beard oil, and use a shower scalp brush ?
No “not” here, sounds like a great option!
Ok I have to cut my nails quite often due to taking collagen and biotin. I also will use a finger nail file if I get jagged edges mostly because I hate when they kinda get stuck on the silk sheets and pillow case.

Hey Nick, If I can give you some humble advice: Avoid Gillette king c beard shampoo because of the ingredients that are not good in the ingredient list. I would rather recommend true north co daily beard wash, EDC beard wash, Johnnie ray beard wash, dr nicks beard wash, beard octane beard wash. Great daily beard washes. With good ph suitable for the beard. The true north. Earn co daily wash is a game changer.
By the way, I've you tried carrot oil ?
@@NickBEADG so your issue there is terrible to low quality products. Using proper products would make all of the difference in the world. Old spice is nearly all silicones and they do not absorb, really ever
I'm a blue collar worker always using my hands and because of that I have rough calases I sometimes use gloves not as much as I should tho I rather do my job without gloves. So what do you recommend I need the classes so my hands do not get sore
As long as they are not sharp and jagged, you are fine! The regular use of beard butter and oil can really help just by doing what you do with your beard
if the beard gets much longer, the styling with the feet thing may become reality
😂😂😂 oh jeez
come on, show us your nails dan!
😂
What about wearing gloves
That’s way too much for me and a little strange
Long nails on men gross me out.
Sameee, I cannot do it!
Nothing girlie about nail care. Everyone notices your nails and if your wrecking your beard as well it's just tragic.
💡hmmm...Dan C Bearded's DANiCure Kit ???? I can see the ad now
So you think nail care's girlie and weird??.....Heck no, you do it fo yo beard!! And don't forget all the ladies you've been greetin'.....plus shakin' hands at that bizness meetin' Just think of all these benefits....and no way she gonna let you touch her .........car Don't scratch my paint, don't scratch my paint. So keep that beard healthy n' pure.....and give yourself a DANiCure There's lots of things it is.....but girlie it ain't!!
I'll show myself out
Haha I love it!!
