How to Avoid Beard Trim Regret 

I appreciate you watching

You crack me up 😂 It’s always good hearing from you man! Thanks for watching!

Awesome advice and video as always Greg. I literally did an hour ago what you so expertly described- having been down the regret road at least twice now. So thank you- really enjoy your videos. Take care 😊😊

@@marktaylor299 you bet Mark!

I may

As a guy younger than you, I think that looks badass. Roll with it brotha

@@brandonhunter3166 When I read your comment I didn’t know how you knew that I was older than you, but I looked back and saw that I put my age in my original comment.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks! Now I’m wondering what a Yank accent sounds like. I feel like I need to go back and watch this video 😁

I would do my research and find a good beard barber and have them clean it up. I won’t trust mine with my hands anymore. Every time I try to clean my beard up I end up taking off to much and then I shave it off. This time around I ended up just taking off the bare minimum and I think it looks nice.

@@michaelschuett Thank you Michael. Yeah, believe it or not I usually do a better job than the Barber I tried a few times. And 5 yrs ago there was another Barber whose nickname is 'the beard wizard' that I went to and he messed up my beard twice although the other 2 times I went he did a pretty decent job .But I definitely won't go back to him.. I usual do a good job with a scissor, once snip at a time, But this time I used my trimmers (Cordless Senior Clippers, professional ones) and I botched it up. I usually use them when I have a shorter beard . I tried something different. I wanted to make the sideburns really really short. . By the way, if there was someone around here (I would even drive an hour and a 1/2) that I knew for sure would do a better job than me, I would go to them. And I did my research but there's no one that I can definitely trust. If there was someone on RU-vid that gave great beard trims that I liked I would go to them if they were close by. Thanks again.

@@yobabybubba i would definitely prefer to just use scissors instead of a trimmer ,even though more tedious, you’ll do alot less damage. Nice beard in your profile picture.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that where the trim starts to go wrong, most of the time, is with the sideburns. Because blending in the rest of the beard with them becomes a real hassle. That’s why I go easy on them.

@@michaelschuett Thanks Michael and thanks Greg 🤜🤛🏻🤛🏻

Thank you

Thanks, I really appreciate it! George has been a real inspiration to me.

I believe, first of all, that trimming the beard to the shape you want is the most important thing. That way, you don’t have to try too hard to style or tame it. Having said that, butter is great for daily use. It softens the beard and provides a little bit of weight which does make the beard somewhat more manageable without the stiffness. I usually use beard balm if I’m going somewhere nice and pictures are involved. Most balms are a little heavier and slightly stiff. In some cases, the weight is a little too noticeable However, Bossman Brands makes a softening beard balm that is one of the best in my opinion (GREG15).

@@GregBoswell428 Thanks Greg! Exactly the info I needed.

@@wadeschreffler2161 you bet

Thanks

@@GregBoswell428where did you get the additional guards from? My wahl aqua came with guards up to #4 only and I’m looking for longer than that. Please let me know, thanks

Thanks!

Thanks

Probably not a whole lot of Norwegian on my side

For a full beard, let it go for 3 or 4 months and then go a month between trims
