I was growing beard for last 5 years. And last evening, i decided to shave it. Reason, i was poor in shaping it myself and lost faith in last 6 barbers i've tried. Where are you based? I will grow the beard back and coming to you for shaping! You are so inspiring.
Last time I checked the imperial was the same as a handlebar mustache yeah that small batch of hair between the lower lip & chin is identified as a soul patch
i am planning to clean shave and then regrow my beard for my youtube channel! alot of people are asking me to do this! nervous to go back to clean shaven look but trying to gather my strength!!
So each year I grow out a massive waxed handlebar for a few months, with a Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday inspired imperial. Any tips on trimming the imperial? I have thick, full facial hair and it’s super difficult to get remotely even.
Good informative video. I'm currently aiming for a King George beard myself which is similar to the presenters style. I have failed when trimming and had to restart several times. Fingers crossed this time

The anchored stache is so freaking hot! And yes, you look so much better with the new look. I'm so burnt out with the beard I see nowadays. Bring back the stache and goatee!
The "Anchor" is just about all I can grow at the moment, but I have a wider face shape. Combined with my longer hair, I look a bit like a musketeer, which I'm actually cool with! XD I'm trying to get the patches to fill in with various methods, but only time will tell.
Questions: 1) what style do you recommend for a guy with a narrow face but can still grow a full beard that connects to the mustache? 2) what system to you put in place to insure that your beard lines appear as symmetrical as possible? They can easily fall out of symmetry. Thanks I’m advance! Great video! And Happy New Year!! 🎊

Yeah. A pencil mustache is particularly difficult to trim yourself. I used to give myself one to go along with my goatee (not a really thin one like Clark Gable's, more like the one shown in this video at the end), but I usually messed it up in some way, so I just stopped trying and now leave it natural height, which looks a bit scruffy in my opinion. I've noticed that a lot of East Asian men basically have natural pencil mustaches and I envy that.
@@LifeofBrad1 I've worn one for four years and the best trick I've found to maintaining the shape is to dip the tip of a dark colouring pencil in water and draw over the moustache hair to create a symmetrical guide. It's almost impossible to mess up then. The pencil ink washes off easily afterwards.
In terms of a mustache, Im growing out my beard to form the classic horseshoe, the chin and the rest of the beard is a whole different thing but when it comes to trimming I can cut most of my hair easly but its when I need to cut the hair near my jawline and on my throat that always causes problems.
I have a Jason Momoa style beard, I.e. the sides as well as top of chin are thin in terms of follicle volume. I wonder if you could do a video addressing this style of beard and the best approach to grooming?
I thing the term you are looking for to describe that shape is "wingtip" the brogue is the 2 small holes next to the 1 larger hole... unless I misunderstood what you were saying... either way... I love your videos!
hey, this was legit a cool video. I randomly dropped here, but it really inspired me to go and trim my stache/beard. I had what Jason had before the shave and went for the anchored stache. though my moustache is a bit thinner. thanks for the inspiration! been inside the house for months and this video really inspired me to want to have a clean look again. think i'll visit the barber this week. THANKS!
I feel like today, you can't tell what someone's age is, because they suddenly grow a mustache but they're 14... and there's me, a teenager who doesn't have one hair. i understand puberty, genetics & all, but wtf???
Love you vids, yo! I DIY a Brogue per the instructions, but my mustache doesn't grow evenly, one side is a bit thicker than the other. How to thin the slightly fuller side to match the slightly less full opposite side?
I’ve been growing my beard for about five years now, and I only recently shaved it. I was quite disappointed with how my beard turned out. I tried multiple styles but it was always just too thin to do anything with. But then I realized… I’m 15….
Wahl Edge Pro has been good to me. And cheap too. The one that has more black, not the other model that has more red. The longer thinner looking one. Pros also use straight razors if needed to finish things up.
Hey Man! I’m struggling to grow hair on my chin like everything comes in great but the chin is barely there. I’m 19 and really want a fuller beard 😭 any tips?
Well I won't call myself an expert, but first, since guys like us are still very young it might just be the case that you have to wait a few years to fill in completely, but if you want to speed up the process I've heard generally good things about using a Derma Roller for your face - should be plenty of reviews/explanation videos on it.
You probably don’t want to hear this but patience. If you’re already close to a full beard as you said then you don’t need to worry, it will fill in eventually
i need to know if there's a hope for me, i have somewhat of a beard on my face, it grews alright, but at some point it always starts to tilt to the right side of my face, all of the hair, without any warning, so, can i somehow undo that or beard is a no no for me?
I have a question, I am trying to grow my goatee as long as I can get it.... But, the cheeks and sideburns, I don't want. It I take off my cheeks and sideburns will I ruin the length or growth of my goatee? any help would be GREATFULLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hey guys! I'm 16 year old guy and I have small facial hair I mean it's visible for sure but not that thick. I left it like a mustache and a small goatee but do you have any tips what style should I make?

True. But it could be said the mustache is the easiest to grow, so if you can't grow a beard you grow that. and that's sad

Ur def a keeper
So the "imperial" is simply when you combine it with a soul patch?
but soul patch doesnt sound as cool
@@bubrub23 how about "imperial soul patch" for maximum authority as well as chill vibes
Last time I checked the imperial was the same as a handlebar mustache yeah that small batch of hair between the lower lip & chin is identified as a soul patch
I have gone back to this video over the last two years, and still wonder what tools you are using? Especially the trimmer is of interest 😊
Such a great teacher, always enjoy your videos Matty.
most likely the trimmer is the Babyliss PRO Gold FX
Personally a big fan of the brogue, rocking this style at the mo...
I can grow a pretty good moustache and beard, so i love these videos.
