To learn how to shave yourself. For example, my father never teached me how, so I had to learn from a barber and even then, there's a lot of techniques worth watching.
I've recently decided to grow a beard for the first time and went with the Van Dyke as I find the look of them to be classy and more refined. Given that it's my first beard, I have no clue how to properly trim it so videos such as this are very helpful, thank you. Although that technically *isnt* a Van Dyke in the video (for a Van Dyke, the moustache and beard *must* be *seperated* ) the trimming technique used is super helpful.
Wonderful video! Although I would have found some explanation regarding trim combs and reasons for the method. This is the style I am trying for, but with a full moustache covering the upper lip. Thank you!
I always thought the pointy beard looks cool and refined as hell. Plus as someone with a kinda-'oval'ish/round-but-not-really-round face shape with a weaker jawline, the van dyke creates the illusion of a more triangular face. Definitely need to try it out.
H OC Na bro if the hair on your chin is too long, you end up looking like Mr Tumnus I’ve got the roundest head in the world 😂 no chance of me going pointy tho... not worth it
@The Arse Hahah lmao. But I'm not talking about comic book mega villian levels of long lol. I'm talking a short, neatly trimmed point. Less Ghengis Khan and more like a 19th century European aristocrat or intellectual lol.
H OC A full heavy stubble combined with a Van Dyke will give your face the appearance of being elongated without actually doing it. Plus it’s literally the coolest beard going. The idea is to look like you’re not *trying* to change your face shape. Keep on top of your stubble’s jawline (since your actual jawline is basically non-existent like mine😂) and rock the Van Dyke roughly 2-3x as long but keep the chin neatly combed and not into a point. It hits that sweetspot of both cool/scruffy, and smart/well-groomed.
Looks well good! at the age of 52 (God help us) I'm giving a beard a go for the first time in my life. It's coming along nicely and I'm quite impressed at the change tbh. It was a good inspiration to find this video on first try and see something I'm aiming for. Many thanks!
Have fun with the new look. I have been experimenting with my beard since I was 16 years old and after 11 years I'm confortable with my styles and grow rates lol.
@Greg Tastad 40 years old. I did mine before watching this. Thankfully I kinda did the same thing. So this was a good video to watch and confirm. I'm always unsure how far down to let my beard line grow under my jaw..It never seems right either on the jaw line or just below it..
@@McDanieI do you have like a double chin?i am asking because i have a meaty chin and also a poor jaw and i have the same problem , but i came to a middle ground and i am sticking to it for now.
great vid bro ..i have a goatee but my beard will only grow to half of my cheeks then stop .. my friend says just to let it grow you may look rough but being patient it will eventually get there.. i’m only 19 what should i do??
Thanks man! Yeah just let it grow out first, i'd say about 2 months, don't trim it, don't shape it. Then you could see your beard and go from there. Cheers
Dude, you and I have damn near identical facial hair. This is crazy! Like the way it waves, the color pattern, even the soul patch area. Like wtf? Long lost 2nd cousin or something.
Not sure if it's a technique, i just found that's a great way for me to trim the hair. That way it keeps the look natural and less of a chance for me cutting too much off.
First time I saw it I had to put it on the "whach it later" list. Didn't had the size needed. But with the coronavirus and staying at home I've pulled back the video and did it 😆👍
