I did no shave November this year and was about to shave it off December 1st, but came across this guy who encourage me to let it grow and to see how much I can get in 3 to 5 months... After about 2 months the thin patchy pubes on my face type look has started to fill out and look more like a beard. Watching Greg progress with the patches that he has has given me confidence that I'll be able to grow a good looking beard if I just let it grow! I'm glad there is hope for us patchy guys, you the man Greg!!!
i've never had a beard. not more than a month anyway. this time, i'm 2 months in. i'm 56 so its grey, but its looking really good. i saw that you said yours grows up one side of your face. mine does too, that's why i never grew it. but it's thick now and i'm going for it. i'll give it another month. i just stumbled on all of this beard care stuff in the past couple of days and it's inspired me.
Greg, you look so happy to have your beard and mustache back. It's obvious that you enjoy the styling process. Merry Christmas to you and all of the folks at Beardbrand!
I started lining up my very first new beard from the beginning. now at the 8 week mark I realize I want the neck line a bit lower so im going to just leave it alone for a while. I know im 4 years late, but. Once again... thanks for the great info. Great video.
Hi Greg, started trimming my cheeks and neck at the third week. I am fortunate to have a thick beard. My beard is the same colour as yours. I am going for a executive length beard. Thank you for your information. I would also say that you are very thoughtful of other people and their journey towards growing their beards.
Great information - I started trying to groom my beard too early, and was dejected by my initial results, it wasn't until my beard got longer that I had a better understanding of beard grooming I couldn't remember who I learned about not trimming flyaway hairs from, and I realized it was Greg in a video from a while back Today's flyaway hair is part of tomorrows great beard
That was my problem before, and now that I understood that we have to resist cutting our flyaway hairs, I have a really good beard. Its pretty hard to resist but as you said very well, its just a part of the sacrifice. Keep it on for 3 month and that will be okay !
Funny you talked about this subject because I've just touched up my neckline today, after hitting the 10 weeks mark. I'm growing my beard out for the first time, but at this point I can see what I'll be dealing with as it continues growing. It's such an exciting journey so far :D
im at about 8 weeks of proper growing (had a extended stubble beard for a while), went for my first lining shaping christmas eve, as i didnt think my wife would appreciate my tramp look on christmas day! saying that, happy holidays!
One query why is Beardbrand community forum so dead... My post is pending approval since 2 days and on other people's posts there is no comments or advice. I would myself give some advice but I'm 18 and dk what to do with my beard as I don't apply anything on it so how am I able to give advice to others....

I’m just getting to the end of week nine, since I started to grow in my beard. I only trimmed it once at the middle of week 8, when my sideburns started to poke out. I really recommend your advice doing this - instead of any tools - by using some utility balm or styling cream.
Week 7 here. Stopped shaving my neck because I’m going for a long beard. My neck grows way down and I’m gonna use it to beef things up. Looks bad right now though
Personally i lined up my beard after 2 weeks of growth the time I kept for 13 Weeks , and used to do that every two weeks , the hairs were not long but it's a good thing to do to stay motivated , now I'm growing my beard for 90 days without trimming , still at the beginning of week 2 actually , I miss my beard 😅
You're next video is what I need. Look forward to it. I'm about 8 weeks in and it is a bit unruly at times. I have a medium to curly red beard as you saw on my IG (@officialjaseedwards) the other day. I do currently use a 1/2" round bristle brush, flat boars hair brush and blow dryer with utility balm. It does the job, for now, but I do have the Tree Ranger styling balm and mustache wax on the way. Should get it after Christmas. The current technique I follow is Jeff's athletic beard grooming and styling, but his beard in the video is about 3-6 months longer than mine is currently. So I'm hoping your next vid will help. Great job as always Greg. Cheers.
Always so well spoken, can't wait to be a silver fox like you someday, how quick did it take for your beard to transition from natural to grey hair?? :)
I have been growing my beard for 11 months now and it has finally grown in thick and lush but still not as thick as i want it on the sides. But that's what I am working with. The less I watch it day by day it gets easier not to want to shave it. I comb it and make it look tidy and neat everyday but I do not examine every hair to see how its growing. If i see imperfections in my beard i want to cut it and say its not growing well so it has to go. Thanks for the videos they keep me motivated not to shave.
New to the channel. Always thought I'd need a massively dense beard to get one that looks as good (and full) as Greg's. Checking out his videos from the past few years, mine's not much different from his. I'm going to go for it! The only difference is my facial hair tends to grow in all directions, I'm sure there's a video out here how to straighten it out.
I changed my grooming habits about 4-5 years ago, stopped trimming my beard to a month's growth with a beard trimmer, and started styling my beard a bit more old-school. Had to up my grooming kit with the changes - added scissors, a couple of nice combs, boar bristle brush, trying various oils and balms and such. For training my facial hair, my bristle brush with some styling balm are my best friends.
@@josephjester4917 Thanks for the information, much appreciated. i'm about 5 weeks in and still figuring out how to manage all the extra hair on my head and face. I haven't trimmed any of it and committed to keep it going. Some products were just too stickey, now I'm going to try beard balm and see how that works out
Me and my beard celebrated our first anniversary.. LMAO I just had to.. I couldn't resist saying that.. I have a wave on one side of my beard.. And it flips up making it look like one side is shorter than the other
Wow the beard is really growing. I think a shorter haircut would look better. Color looks good with your sweater.The best look is your fourty years video, wearing the black glasses.
I'm a damn chia pet. I line up neck at 3 days growth, dont believe in lowering cheek lines. If you've got a bigger face/features you'll want to leave the cheek lines natural to close off/small out your face.
I would keep the Beard at that length and the hair looks fabulous. Much better than those chirugically precise undercuts. But thats just my taste. And to be honestly a patchy beard makes the person a lot more interesting.
Is there even a point to lining a beard that had great growth underneath, but it only grows to a little bit above the jaw? I don't have any cheek growth or connectors.
SHOULD I TRIM?? - I've been growing my beard for about 80days now. It's the first time that I go over the two month mark and I'm impressed by the progress but my cheeks are coming in light compared to my mustache, sideburns and especially my under chin area which is growing ridiculously fast. Most days I wake up not liking the shape of it as it has messed up with the proportions of my face. I think this is mostly because of the heavy under chin. I want to grow my beard more but would you suggest that I trim the under chin a little to match the growth of the rest of my beard or keep growing it naturally and hope that when the cheeks fill in the beard will come together in a nicer way?
From what you're describing it sounds like the growth under your chin is happening much faster than with the rest of your beard. What you may want to do is go to a barber or stylist who can even things out by trimming down that section to make everything a bit more even. It doesn't have to be completely the same length all around (look into "beard fades" if that sounds interesting), but a good trim never hurts from time to time, especially after the 3 month mark. - Jack
Greg, I'm a huge fan .. I have a problem with my mustache, it's literally "too" much from the sides and small hair (Gap) in the middle, it's not thick or even alot.. my beard can't grow any longer (I think). Also it feels up ( thorns) not down, and I can't use any heat on it since it's really close to my face, and i don't use any product since I have a really really sensitive skin towards products.. I'm really comfortable of how I look, but it looks so weird and uncomfortable sometimes. Sorry for the long essay.
I think his beards week 7 is about the same as my beards week 4, except he must be shaving his neck hair. Only difference is he has a definitely more full mustache than me
im wondering if everytime you comb your beard, do hairs come off ? i have alot of beard, and its curly, is a full beard but everytime i style my beard, 5, 6 or even more than 10 hairs fall off my beard, and its hair that falls off from the root, i dont have any bald patches but still... im kind of worried, any advice ?
wait.... have you been shaving your cheek and neckline? if so... how do you determine where u shape your cheek line? I always get 2 weeks into my beard and try to shape my cheek line and just screw it all up...
I used to cut my cheek lines chinstrap-style, and let me tell you, it takes a LOT of work to maintain that look. Now I just let my cheeklines grow as high as they naturally grow, and with enough time of growth my cheeklines become really obvious, and all I trim are the few hairs above that line, and square out the corner where my upper chops meet my stache. Not that I know Greg's grooming routine or anything, but I would dare to guess his process is pretty similar to mine. Hope this helps.
I know a guy that can do only 'stache and goatee because his facial hair is too patchy for anything else, and he's 46. And I know another guy in his late 50's who has always done clean-shaven because his facial hair is too little for him to style in any way to be content with. I'm talking pencil-line 'stache, at best.
I have trimmed the stray hairs although I didnt know I was thinning my beard do I need to shave and start over it's going on 2 months and I'm still significantly patchy
I sported just a 'stache and goatee until I was about 25, when my chops were finally filled out enough for a beard. Been sporting a beard of some sort ever since, learning through trial and error how to beard. I'd say you're on a similar path as mine was.
For someone like you its okay to leave it without trimming for 90 days because its already has good shape naturaly, my beard grows high on my chicks and down the neck and when i trim those areas even after week it looks way more cleaner and gives me a neat look i would say
When I start from clean-shaven, I usually start trimming the neck/cheek lines sometime after week 2. But then, I'm also using electric grooming, and 2 weeks of growth is hard for my Braun to swallow. ;)
How come America has not gone metric like the rest of the world? 1 inch is around 25mm (I think!) Nice beard and I never get over a week before I have to shave 🪒🙁 I find it itches and I look scruffy and unkempt 🙁
Could anybody give me some advice? I have a very weak chin - virtually nothing there. When I grow a full beard I tend to trim in my neckline following my jaw, but I’d like a fuller beard and it seems this doesn’t work when you trim this way. Because of my weak chin, the I have very little to work with directly under my chin, so I never quite know how far down to grow the neckline.
I trim my beard using my jawline as a guide, too. I know they say not to do that in some of these videos, but I'm lazy and this method makes styling my beard easier for me.
