This man is beautiful. I hope I look like this when I turn 817.

Why am I up at 3 am watching Santa Claus talk to me about beards?

Perfect time to grow a beard is while stuck at home during covid-19. In my case I won’t be at work for at least a month maybe more

This guys' beard takes steroids and has 3 girlfriends.

12:50 "My wife... she has actually grown [pause] to like it." I can't be the only one who filled that brief pause with "a beard of her own"

I talked about it with my wife. She grew it out for 46 days, then I made her shave it.

The first 30 to 45 days was horrifying for me. That awkward phase bothered the heck out of me. 5 months later I'm loving my beard!

I'll tell you in one word why cant you can't grow a beard.... GENETICS

When I was in my late forties I grew my first beard which was mainly pepper & salt, and my slightly younger brother had already had one for about 25 years. Mum's reaction was "Having both sons with greying beards makes me feel old". Our answers were , "Deal with it Mum"!

I always say...never judge a beard's potential by it's stubble!

That hair is glorious. Respect.

One time a guy told me that he wished he could grow a beard like mine (he had a very short circle beard) and I told him just stop shaving the sides. He told me that he was afraid to have it lined up, I told him to have a barber do it. He said his barber did weird line ups. I told him about this channel and other online resources - hopefully he did end up going for the full beard

My problem is simply genetics. I could grow my "beard" for 365 days and it would still just be patchy little whiskers.

This man has the best hair genetics of all time. It's fucking insane 😂

Age 35 in sales and going on 6 months. Been told I look older and it is filling in nicer than I could have thought at 30-60-90 days. Keep on growing and all will be nice. Greg has great mustache and grooming videos. Thanks for the tips.

The itch can be alleviated with cleanliness and products. You can grow a beard in and still keep it looking neat. It just takes longer. Most men have patchy beards. But it does fill in over time. Sometimes it takes several months. Some of the hairs on your face take way longer to grow than the rest. They could be significantly slower.

Thank you Greg for boosting my confidence in growing my 1st time beard as of now a 55 year old on 7weeks of no shaving but as you say letting it grow.honest to say my wife and kids are happy to see me with facial hair for the 1st time but yes hopefully letting grow to see the 90- day and results on forth.

Thanks to you Greg for being so supportive and encouraging to so many guys who lack the confidence to grow a beard.

I just retired from the military, I’m on day 27 growing my beard. FEELS SO GOOD!!!

Thank you, Greg. This is what I needed to hear.

Hearing these advices makes me think of my dad. So warm and close. Thanks for an informative video.

This guy has such a great speaking voice! I could listen to him talk all day! So relaxing...like ASMR

For the job excuse- just say you're growing it on "religious grounds" and they'll shut up 😂😂

Hey Greg, your video encourage me to go for it and try to grow a beard. I am 48 years old and I have tried to grow a beard many times, but I have never gone this far, and leave it without shaving it off for more than 30 days, until now that I have seen this video, I am already on my 30th day, and I so far, I am happy with what I see, because even though I have a patchy beard, now I have noticed that there is hair growing up from places in my face I have never seen it before, and that, gave me the confidence to keep going with this experiment.

this dudes hair and beard combo is epic. many guys in their 20s cant pull that look off. props man

I’ve already apologized to both of my my sons for the lack of beard genetics on both sides. “Patchy” is their fate. The long hair is awesome, by the way.

Greg, you actually give me hope. The picture of you, 35 years old... that's around what I am at today with just half a year away from 30. So ich have high hopes that in the next few years my beard comes in. I do believe it's possible for me, I already have a bit more on the sides but it's patchy and full of "holes". So I just hang in there. Your Beard is an absolute dream for me. I'm also balding since I'm 22 but that doesn't matter to me, as long as I have a Beard ;) Greetings from Northern Germany o/

I'm growing for the first time and just recently started doing a handlebar mustache. I got a lot of flack from people at work and family but just do it. it's mainly cuz it's big change and they're not used to seeing you like that the longer you have it he more they'll quiet down. then guess what they'll do the same thing when you shave it off. "where'd it go? why'd you shave?" if they keep saying it looks bad after month it probably looks bad or just need to groom it like you said Greg. You've actually inspired me to grow Greg! learn the skills now so when It comes in better and get the salt and pepper I can rock it.

Hey Greg, love your videos. I was In law enforcement for 36 years and could not have a beard. I am now retired and growing one. I appreciate all the information and advice.

The pandemic has probably shifted who has beards. I grew one since my face was constantly in masks and all meetings were canceled for the foreseeable future. The only face to face interaction was with my wife ,a great beard lover, and my 2 year old, who only knows a handful of words. So overall it was a very positive beard growing environment

At 37 I'm trying to do the full beard and will follow through for once, mostly because the lockdown means I don't have to interact with people during the awkward stage.

Guys who are short and say they can’t be over 6ft I’m not buying it.

during this quarantine I have been growing it out for two months straight and I am proud of my progress and I really hope it comes together

I'm 38 and Greg is the reason I grew my first ever beard for 90 days, started in October. The first 30 days it didn't look good and I almost shaved a dozen times. Then around 60 days it got long enough to cover the patches and now I keep it around 2 inches and no one even knows I have patches unless I show them. Thank you for the encouraging vids, it's really changed my life.

This mans beard is glorious! The stuff of legend

I'm 47 and growing a beard for the first time in my life. You give me hope, I've seen the 40 years video, and your beard pattern is a lot like mine, same patchy spots around the goatee area etc. If yours can grow in like it did, I figure I'd be happy at 70% of that. And if you're someone watching this that is self-conscious about the gray, which I am, especially considering I'm grayer than most at my age, you can always dye your beard, or like I do, use something like Volt beard coloring which you just comb in, and it doesn't cover all the gray, it just blends in your natural hair color into your beard, you can leave as much or as little gray as you want.

Awesome as always brother!!

Gotta be the 90 day rule. It took me 90 days to get where most get in 30. On the positive, It's now to the point where it needs a trim. Thanks Beardbrand.

I'm making a career change just to grow a beard! Well, not really, but it will be nice to be able to grow a beard in the near future.

Always an inspiration Greg!! Thanks for everything you do

Greg all these reasons are spot on. Ive heard many of these before. I grow my beard and hair out. my beard is pretty patchy, especially the connector on one side. once its fully grown out, you really cant notice the patches unless youre searching. the whole is greater than the sum of its parts

I can't grow my beard because certain areas of my face lacks hair entirely. so I can't grow a beard.cause chunks will be missing and it isn't fair .

With relationships, the biggest positive of long distance was beard-growability. I grew it while we were apart for school and she didn't like it. I kept it that summer, she did not like it. I had to shave it when I went back to school for marching band and suddenly, agree missed it. We're getting married in June and she told me for the wedding "long stubble minimum, but I want a beard". Not everyone goes long distance, but speaking from personally experience, she was adamantly against it and now is my (second) biggest beard advocate. Get them to let you try it at least and they may really miss it once it's gone.

I didn't watch videos for what seems a few months and Greg looks like this now

Thank you Mr Berzinsky for your knowledge. This video helped me

I envy your hair. Keep growing it longer. Looks awesome. 👍🙂

when he said his wife has grown to like it, i thought he was gonna say she grew one herself

You nailed it on this one. Well done.

I'm former french infantry parachutist regiment sergeant, we weren't allowed facial hair as opposed to regular infantry because being clean shaved is seen as sharpest. And you are right, fairly long beard is forbidden due to gas mask restriction.

I've challenged myself (a 22 year old) to see how much i can actually grow for a whole year, starting back in the beginning of January. Haven't cut a single hair on my face, even though it's a bit patchy and is an uneven growth.

He looks like a farmer who's daughter you have to rescue

I get the usual negative comments whilst growing a beard but beardbrand videos motivate me to keep on going. I’m a couple of months in now and I’ve even found a decent barbers near me thanks to this channel (Gentleman and Rogues Birmingham). Thank you all 👍🏼

Thankyou Greg!!! Means a lot

My question for Beardbrand: How much BEARD improvement can someone expect to see from age 26. A lot of guys reach their full potential during their early-mid 20s, but what improvements can a guy like me expect to see as I go into my 30s? Currently all I have is sideburns and neck beard. No moustache and very little hair on my front face. I do have smaller hairs on my face and cheek and I'm hoping that one day these will turn into terminal hairs.

It kind of depends on genetics also I look at my coworker: his two month growth looks like my same growth in two weeks, and although we're the same age he still gets just patchy peach fuzz at 29 but he's still looking better than the clean shave

Greg you look so great with a beard you should always be bearded. I'm 38, NEVER had a beard past two weeks of growth....EVER! I know it sounds crazy but I just could never deal with the itchy awkward phase. I'm a month in now and glad I stuck it out. I'm only 38 but have greyed early, and I expect my beard to look very similar to yours..... thank you for your words of wisdom and support. It is a commitment, but getting past the first month is the worst. Thank you.... I wouldn't be growing my beard without your videos. Keep up the good work and I look forward to using...and needing the beard brand product line.

Yep. Those are pretty much the five classic responses. Here's something really interesting about the opposition some men tend to get from their significant other regarding growing a beard. I have met a lot of women who were vehemently against their husband or boyfriend growing a beard at first. But then their opinions eventually changed and they grew to appreciate and even like the beard over time because many other people around that guy gave some positive signaling about how flattering the beard is and how good it looks on him. So I think that more often than not, a good portion of the reason why many women are against their significant other growing a beard is not so much a fear of what the beard will look like on him, but rather, a fear of what both his peers and (probably moreso) HER peers think about that beard. She's essentially worried about how it might be a reflection on her. I've seen women change their opinion once they realize that more people are on board with the beard than she originally assumed.

Was Greg my inspiration for growing my beard , yes yes he is....is Greg my idol for an unnatainable beard , yes yes he is

Greg, I went mostly grey at 28... been grey for 21 years, you get used to folks thinking you are older than you are... I'm almost getting to the age that it's appropriate... lol

I shaved just before christmas. First month was very frustrating because the patches hadn't filled in yet, hairs were sticking up and all that stuff. Right around the first month mark i became satisfied with the look of my beard.

You have given me so much info. Thanks so much!

I'm always so conflicted when growing my beard, week 3 it looks horrendous but soon as I hit week 8 all the patches are more or less filled in 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm trying to just leave it alone this year, I do a britney spears and when life gets too stressed or previous traumas flare up in my mind, I just hack away at my beard 😑

Patchiness, I’m turning 22, and my cheeks we’re bald and my underlip and mustache were really weak. Thankfully though I found out about minoxidil and I’m giving this beard thing a go. I kept trimming though, but so far I have a months work of not trimming and am able to see them on my cheek, and my mustache and underlip got darker. I only have a little over 2 months on minoxidil but can’t wait to see in 6-12 months from now!

Really appreciate these encouraging words from Father Christmas.

My tip for patchiness, or that "awkward first month", is to get a pair of clippers. Every 3 or 4 days, trim your bead, and just take of a bit to get it all even. Some patches or whiskers grow much slower for some, so if you continually trim it will fill the beard out more as it grows, albeit at a slower pace overall. Also, of course, every time you shave, extend the clippers to the next longest setting, or a couple settings, just enough to mow down all the faster growing hairs. My beard looks like a nice shadow when I do this for the first bit not patchy. Eventually it will be too long not notice any hair length differences, or they will be too long to clip anyhow. This won't make a massive difference, or help everyone but makes a difference for me.

Greg please come visit my kids this Xmas. They need to know Santa is real !!! Your epic brother !!

Somebody put this man in a Hollywood movie! I want to look this good when I’m older! 👌🏼💯

I don't get any flack for my beard. I get it for my long hair! Thanks for the pep talk. I dig your current longer hair and beard style.

I’m military and unfortunately have never had a chance to grow out my beard longer than maybe 30 days because of it. I’m nearing 30 and just had some surgery and have been given around 8 weeks of time off so now I’m really getting my first chance to grow out my beard to see what I look like for the first time. 4 weeks in an I’m liking my progress.

I can grow a really great beard, its filling in all the time. But when I grow it I look like a completely different person its kinda strange, I guess I'm not used to the look yet.

Given how I am mostly staying at home thanks to the quarantine, I decided to try and see how far I can grow my beard before the quarantine ends. 16 days without shaving already, xD. The results are 'meh'.

Glad you could make it, Uther.

Greg thanks alot I'm growing my first beard and your videos help 6 weeks in 20 weeks to go lol

It’ll be cool if you do the same video with long hair 🤓😋

I do have to say, I grew out my beard and my lady said “no way” but after I grew it out for a few months and messed up my trimming and went back to clean shavin, she now says I look weird without the beard lol...

Thank you for this Video Sir! During this hard times and due to Your Videos I (finally) started grew beard. I stay home so why not? Especially it helps You increase Your patience. Greetings

Lotion helped the itch a ton, a good lotion not crap. Then my wife found beard oil while shopping, Barberians and it works great. Going to get matching scents from Beardbrand when my current supplies get low.

30 days is the worst period for many beards. People quit most things in life when they find the first obstacle.

Im 30 years old and I can't grow a beard at all and to be honest I don't want to( not hating on beards just that it aint for me) but really I just get some pre adolecent stubs to grow and that's it, it doesn't help I look like im 18...

Thank you, I've started to grow it, it's been 17 days, looks horrible but I'm gonna keep going.

Very good advice from a really smart man🙏

"Im an architect! Ive been successful with a beard." well yeah when Noah tells me he can build a boat i believe him!

Im growing an 'isolation' beard, just for kicks. We've-got-this. :)

Great!! You can make excuses or you can make progress. I choose progress every time...

Corona beard looking mighty crappy right now came here for motivation to keep it going

I'd like to grow a beard but... damn genetics!

When I grow up I want a beard like King Greg. I'm 30 and still rock peach fuzz that you get at 14😂

Great points!

All great points Greg. I'll be full grey by the time I'm 50, silver by the time im 60, its all in the genes. Growing a full beard out before i lose all my natural color. It blends with my hair well though. Toughest part is keeping it tidy, its definitely challenging and has become a labour of love.

I'd like to grow a beard but I'm in the Air Force. I grow what I can when I'm on leave though!

Actually for me the itch us mostly from when my beard get long enough that it kind of curls back and pricks at your face.

Dude I just had to stop by because I saw your thumbnail and just wanted to say for some reason you look like a God lol.

Of all your beards you have grown, this one looks the best

I feel like God is giving me advise about my beard lmao.

Im glad im the only guy at work that can grow a beard...👍

What a king.

Great video
