“The only water I drink is filtered water. it’s filtered through coffee grounds” that’s hilarious I’ll have to steal that one from ya Dwayne.

I'm a black male. I found this channel 2 months ago. I'm still learning about life and you are the best OG I've learned from. We come from 2 totally different worlds. I'm from Detroit, Michigan. You are a real true grit man brother. Thank you for changing our lives and teaching us about life. Thank you brother.

To me Dewayne is like the wise cowboy that gives advice to the main character who's lost in life.

I love how he can turn growing a beard into a lesson that spans across all areas of your life.

in a world where i hear daily i should shave, i am happy to have a few moments where someone makes me feel normal for having a beard as long as yours. Thank you. Most beard talks on you tube are not from men like you, but from those...glamour men. Feels stupid to say, but thank you.

Over the years I've grown my beard and shaved it off. I've noticed in the summertime here in Pa that having a beard actually keeps my face cooler. Have you that noticed that Dwayne? All my Amish friends grow a beard when they get married and keep it for life. I'm a 64 year old horseshoer , I will be starting radiation treatments soon for prostate cancer. I hope I don't lose my beard

"If you shave your beard or trim your beard it grows back faster, no it don't it just goes away", Dwayne you have a way of putting things into perspective and making us smile and chuckle.

I started shaving at age 11. Kids in high school thought I was a narc when I’d have a 5 o’clock shadow in third period. I quit shaving at 23. I’m 34 now, and my wife’s only seen my clean shaven face twice in the last 7 years. As far as the itch goes, the trick is to not shave, but just trim it back with some electric clippers…not to the skin. Maybe 1 or 2 millimeters, but definitely not clean shaven. The itch will go away. Also, not being a wimp helps.

Not looking to grow a beard anytime soon (female subscriber here) I stayed and enjoyed the conversation anyway. Thanks for being a light in an ignorant world, Sir. God bless! Headed over to Momma's channel now.

Gentlemen, Nothing wrong with a beard, a pipe or a cigar! 😊 carry on gentlemen!

My wife has never seen me without a long beard! Said if I cut it WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS! LOL! Mama loves the beard!

We love you Uncle Dwayne, don't listen to the negative haters in the world. You've got tons of people here that love what you do and have been with you since the beginning. Please keep the good stuff coming brother.

It's so nice to see that real men still exist. In a world that is tearing men down at every corner it is nice to see some still standing tall and firm in their masculinity! You VERY much can be gentle and have a beard!! I would love to see beards make a come back along with hats and self respect!!

I had a 9 month growth, looked identical to yours (mustache and all) and I was forced to trim it this morning for a job interview. My beard has always been my signature, and men and women alike compliment it out in public a few times per week. It's a point of pride. I make my own beard oil and keep it well manicured and presentable. It's a majestic thing and I take full advantage of the blessing of being able to have a beard just like yours. I did get the job, the interview went swimmingly! I'm in the trades, so i'll be growing it right back out as I realized they didn't mind. Just... first impressions, ya never know.

As a bearded man. I will say if you choose to grow your beard out wear it with pride and take care of it . If you take care of it and have confidence in who you are and are a respectful man and a good man you will get endless compliments on it. The beard doesn't make the man but it is a exclamation point on him. My Dad was a self sufficient bearded man and I had many bearded men in my family that were good men. So as a kid I aways said one day I'll be a man and have my own beard. Be you 💯 and you will be your best because of it. My wife did not prefer my beard long at first but as she seen me take pride in it and the care I put in it she has come around and loves it now. So you do you and make your mark in the world brothers.

Cigars, pipes, beards, cowboy boots... "these are a few of my favorite things". Lol

I was in a relationship for years where I couldn't grow my beard. It sounds cheesy but I am now doing what I want with me. 🎉

I'm a seventeen year old, and I just found your channel. It might not be targeted to me, but your lessons are very interesting and I genuinely enjoy tuning into your channel. You gained a subscriber lmao.

“Mama loves the beard” haha thanks for the smiles Dwayne.

Something about men with beards. On behalf of most ladies, please grow it out. ❤

I haven’t shaved in 30+ years. I can’t think of a bigger waste of time than to shave one day just to have to do it again the next. I trim my beard every six months to five years and manage just fine.

7:40 "I only drink filtered water, filtered throug coffee grains" 🤣🥰

I've known my husband for 47 years and have only seen his chin once. Both our sons also have full beards and all 3 can grow them really fast.

This man is the leader of the tribe of Whiskers. May we bearded boys learn to be bearded men as Cowboy Gandalf is and shall always be!

Giant beard and proud of it. I'm happy my comments on this channel don't get likes because I don't need y'alls approval 💪

one thing ive learned in the last years: cigars and beards - NOT for the impatient man! as for the arthur morgan guy: its from a video game western named red dead redemption 2, its easily the best videogame ever made. hyperrealistic, and it makes you experience the downfall of an outlaw gang in the late days of the wild west. arthur is one of em, and very depending on how you play, overall, he gets the big redemption epiphany from being a violent man of crime to a man of some honor and kindness and good values who realizes theres just more to life and then meets a very very poignant end. and you just sport that beard, and you have that tone of voice arthur has.

My white 4yr beard looks like ZZTop. I’m 6’3, and with my Cowboy Hat - I tell you what, BEST decision ever..!!! Every MAN should grow it long once..! Your beard is BADASS Dwayne…! 😎

Plus, in the winter months, a beard helps retain moisture for the skin! Especially in Canadian winters.

On behalf of all good men everywhere, we thank you Dewayne!💯

Been waiting for this one. About time. Been growing mine for 14 months now. 💪🏼been growing on and off since I was 20. Never have to wear a face mask in the winter. I live up in Canada and it gets to -50C with the wind. Working on top of a 200 foot grain elevator as a welder it can keep you warm, or to warm if ya start it on fire hahah 😅 had to start trimming it to fit my welding lid. But now I’m 36 and I’m just a artistry bumming around. I got maybe a couple inches on ya UNC! But ya got me beat with the thickness. Some days I feel like that pine tree you talk about but, I’ll keep eating more protein haha Nice oak tree thanks for all the guidance. Was a broken man just 6 years ago and this last year your videos have help me tremendously. Never had a father. If I could have one I’d ask for a man like you. Nice to have more men coming out and encouraging us to be better men ourselves. Much love and ✊🏼

I got a laugh out of your filtered water joke, as a bearded coffee drinking man I appreciate it

as a lady i love the long beards, keep growing the beards fellas

I can grow a full beard but I’ve never let it grow more than an inch or so. I’m gonna start growing real beard right now.

I like that the old greek philosophers grew beards as a way to express patience and wisdom. To me a beard is a great representation of that. I’m not sure that means it’s a needed thing to grow, but that’s just what I think whenever I see someone with a beard.

I thought I was the only one who thought Dewayne looked just like Arthur Morgan from RDR2 with the beard. It's good to know other people have pointed it out as well.

"Shouldn't've kicked the dog as I walked by" as we all have done on occassion. Respect and dignity is waning however you my friend can help in making us aware of that and encouraging us to return to it. Good Morning Dwayne from Corpus Christi, TX, thank you for being you and giving us life lessons for ourselves and to pass on to others.

Last two times my beard saw any trimming was due to unfortunate incidents in the knife forge. Maybe that's my indication from now on that it has gotten to capacity and it's time for a trim. Been happily bearded since high school.

I have always seen it as a badge of righteousness in a way. It's biblical. Contrary to the way of the world now it's actually very attractive and very manly as it should be. So glad to have found you guys videos. Love ya both. Your a treasure.

As a woman, I appreciate the hearing a man's point of view. Ought to try a tiny. And I mean tiny drop of castor oil on your hand and rub it thru. You can add essential oils to it. Keeps a shine and helps it grow better. Looks washed even after a week.

Dwane, have you heard of "the Lost Boys?" Not the vampire movie from the late eightis or early nineties. The Lost Boys, are men who grew up without a father. Or the dad was present, but uninvolved. The Lost Boys didn't have the close relationship, where they could ask their Dad questions. Maybe they didn't know him at all. Maybe alchohol or drugs or something else, had become more important to the father. It happens across all walks of life these days. You even see it with the super rich. The men today, desperately need men like you. To instruct us, remind us, repremand etc. Thank you.

Love the comment about liberty in a marriage. I'm going to share this with my bride who tells me she won't kiss me if I have a beard. Dang I'm going to miss her lips on mine.

When I was living up in North Dakota last year, folks would recognize and remember me by my beard, which is black and not all that common of a natural beard color up in NoDak. I’d get mistaken for an actor or athlete whenever I’d go to the honky tonk. One night, I told a gal my name and she couldn’t remember it, so she went on to call me “lumberjack” from that night on. All in all, my beard carries cultural significance in addition to it being a part of my identity. It serves a purpose in my line of work, protecting me from the elements: from snow and subzero temps in NoDak to trail dust and the scorching Arizona sun. I’m proud of what I’ve got and what I can grow. It was good to see you shed light on this topic, Dewayne.

As a woman, I obviously cannot, and thankfully cannot, grow a beard, but I do admire when real men grow beards. Not those meticulous fashion beards, but real manly beards. I enjoyed this video and will be sharing it. As a young person still trying to get a full set of tack that fits all the different horses I work, I have a question. What cinch sizes do you have/use, or 3 cinch sizes fit the widest range of horses in your experience? Thank you.

As a bearded man of over 20 years I say thanks for putting this message out there. I stopped worrying years ago about my imagine and what people think of it. Image is all for show. Character development is where it's at. Just be yourself. Be real and God Bless!!

As a man and lifelong beard-wearer, I concur with this message.

Thank you for every single advice you give us!

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard . . . Psalm 133

Great value as usual. Appreciate it, Dwayne. Keep the videos going.

I appreciate your uniqueness and your great advice! Thanks for enlightening my path.

Mornin Dwayne. I've had a beard for the last 9 years of my time on earth and I can't foresee a time when I would not have a beard. , You know what you call a man without a beard?..... A woman🤠

I just wanted to let you know that I am not a horse person or a cowboy but I watch every video because of your wisdom and views on life,, I live in Ware Massachusetts.

Thank you for making these videos, I think that so many of us including myself need to hear the insight that you have to offer.

I live in Central America, it is extremely hot year round, having a beard honestly makes my face feel much better when im outside working. Stops the sun from just blasting my cheeks all day. I do shampoo it everyday tho, otherwise I gets too oily

I agree sir, I appreciate your videos and encouragement that you share. I have had to shave for the last 20 years and recently have been blessed to where I will never have to again. Keep being the true man you are sir and thank you again.

Man… always a blessing to see you upload a new video… make sure you guys make and dedicate time for yourselves as well. Love from kentucky

Hey man, thanks for all you do. I appreciate it.

Hi Dwayne, I enjoy your channel and appreciate your focus on sharing life stories that have a message, especially to our younger generation. I was very fortunate growing up in a rural area in the 60’s with strong adult role models. It definitely helped shape me into a self reliant independent man. I like to think iv’e passed that along to my children, grand and great. I have wore a beard my entire life, and even though it’s now long and white it still brings me joy and nods of acknowledgment when I’m out and about. Thanks again for your time and stories!

This is one of your best videos of yours. Especially the last part. I live in Europe and I really love your channel! God bless you and your wife!

I think my beards growing in so this is a good time for me to watch this

Awesome, thanks. Really like your perspectives. Have a great day!!

I really enjoyed this, thank you.

I reckon at 64 I'm an old school woman that still loves seeing wise men with well taken care of beards, mustaches & long hair 😁

I appreciate you sir. This is all stuff I have been raised on and it’s good to hear it from someone else. Praying for you. We need more and more unashamed good men in the world. It would solve alot of our problems.

I haven't stopped smiling since I've seen this video take so much pride in my beard and everything he says make me feel good about growing my beard out and it's true it makes you patience

This is great advice from a man with a wise beard

Hey, Mr. Dewayne. I’m a newer fan, and one not even out of High School yet, and I find a lot of value in the videos you make. Im fascinated with the kind of life you’ve lived, if you can forgive the strangeness of such a statement. And I do a lot of looking back into the past and forward into the future. Whether it’s about the future of this nation or this world or my life, or something like growing a beard (something I greatly look forward to), I try to plan and examine and consider everything in a meaningful way, and to that end, I’m very grateful for the wisdom that you share. Thank you, sir. Also, you’ve helped me win a little dispute with my mom about whether or not shaving makes a beard grow faster, so thanks for that too!

Another great video.....good job Dwayne

Good conversation. haven't heard a lot of talk around beards, but i have thought similarly about them and appreciate you sharing and bringing it to articulation!

You have grown a very fine looking beard Dwayne, well done, moustache too. Hope you keep it going-great look.

This is the best sponsor plug I have ever seen. I had no idea I even needed a man to man beard video... when that Manscape plug dropped I was pretty jolly. Cheers man, keep em comin'

This video is hilarious. I got the notification for it while I was shaving, which I haven't done in about a month and a half. The best advice I can give is let it grow and experiment. A super long beard isn't for everyone. I had it, it was a lot of maintenance and felt dirty alot of the time and quite frankly didn't look that good on me. I keep it just a bit shorter than aquaman now and that's the only way I like it.

Fascinating. Thank you.

I would love to see a comeback of hats as well! My grandfather always wore a white Stetson "open road" hat. He also wore a black eye patch which put him in a distinguishing class all his own. A man among men!

I really enjoyed this video. I have had my beard going on 50 years except for a couple of periods and have noted and dealt with the same issues.

I really like your show, Thank you. That's a very nice beard that you have. And very good advice too (beard and other topics too). I wore a beard from the time I could grow one.. but I'm in my early sixties now, and do to some health issues I had to start some medications that made it start to fall out/get patchy.. I was very bummed out when that happened. At its peak it was fourteen inches long (zz top like), but once it got patchy, thin and straw like I had to start trimming it way back, and now it's almost non existent.. I miss it bad. I always took pride in it and wore it well. And Yes, some women loved it.. sometimes women I didn't even know would ask me if they could feel it, and sometimes I would let them lol. Thanks again. Keep growing 🌞

Love these vids keep up the content

I travel quite a bit at least twice a week on long mountainous windy roads of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia and I absolutely love listening to your podcasts, sir! Thanks a bunch!

I watch your channel a lot because your campfire philosophy aligns with my own. I don't have an active channel at all, but if I did, I would want it to relay much of the same information and life skills that your own does. GREAT job, sir! I think the advice you give is much needed among men in our Nation. I'm a 61-year-old male out of the Arkansas Ozarks, retired from a lifetime of uniforms (Army, Air Force & career Law Enforcement) who also smokes a pipe. Since retirement 10 years ago, I have worn and enjoyed a beard anywhere from a "heavy goatee" to a full beard that looks very similar to yours for this past year. Your philosophy and life lessons resonate loudly among us all. God bless you and "Mama" and may your channel find even more success as you ride down the trail of life.

I like the kit you talked about. I have grown a beard since I was around 18 year old of and on

This video got me thinking about my perception of my life and also how people perceive me in which for the longest time I thought I didn't care but my mother and dad bluntly told me one day, "I know you're going to not like this but.... you truly do care about what people think about you." and the more time passes on, I realize they are correct. Now the catch point...: I've worn different outfits throughout the years and styles and the ones that make me feel more respectable and I get compliments the most is when I wear my country clothes..... like you wear in your videos. The problem is..... I do not live a country lifestyle and after about a year of gathering more items to complete my cowboy "look", I just truly felt fake but I do love the outfit... always have since I was a young'yen. What you said in this video reminded me of things I've heard off and on since I stopped wearing the cowboy outfit and what I've read online....... being a cowboy aint just about what your occupation is, it's a way of life. I've become a rude-ish, spoiled city man-boy over the years and I was NOT brought up that way. Matter in fact, I want to knock the snot out of young people who behave like that. It's a battle within myself because I know right from wrong and the 2 sides fight each other. What I'm trying to say is, I've still got some more maturing and self-awareness to do that you have spoken of in your videos that I've watched for about a year off and on now. Thank you for being an inspiring MAN to look up to!!

i love this creature. A lot of appreciatiation and love from Denmark.

I was just about trim my bread tomorrow but this just motivated me to let it keep growing

Thanks again for your content. I've been a beard and hat guy for at least 50 years and not likely to change.

Starting on the 27th of March, and ending on June 27th I’m going to see what I can grow. Thanks for the encouragement, Dewayne!

Amazing how the same words can be used to discuss how to live your life. Thanks Dwayne

Right with you on the beards and the hats ( full brimmed). A vest is aslo a often worn piece of clothing. Keep up the good work!

You're such an inspiration Just keep on being who you are . It's that new society that sucks, not us men !!

I’m a 20 year old woman and I absolutely love beards😍. I encourage more men to grow them out. Listen to this guy.

as a young man whos beard finally filled in. thank you for this! Also, if someone compares you to Arthur Morgan it is almost certainly a compliment. He is the greatest fictional character to ever be created

From one bearded brother to another...when in doubt grow it out! Looking mighty fine sir

Great video as a bearded older man agree,growing a beard takes patience,my routine is simple wash mine with beard shampoo & beard oil 3 times a week,beard balm daily to control frizz,keep your beard Dwyane & enjoy

Having a beard or wearing a hat are personal choices not subject to other's control. I spent time in the military so I was told there what I was going to do, however when I enlisted I agreed to the rules as far as personal choices in many things. So enjoy your freedom to choose while you have it. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

When COVID came and everything shut down, including church, I decided it was time to grow my first (and only) beard. I had been self conscious about growing a beard and I’m susceptible to skin issues because I’m fair skinned and I didn’t like the wrinkles 68 years did to my face. I’ve been blessed with good genetics and I’ve yet to be criticized about my beard plus, most of my compliments come from the ladies. Dewayne’s advice on growing a beard is spot on but mine I got from the Beardbrand channel as well as their products. Thanks Dewayne, beard on!

I wonderful chat. I want to echo and say how difficult it can be letting your beard grow out to being full. I have had a beard for a long time, but close and short in length. My wife loves my beard as well. I am now 6 months in and it has filled out. Your encouraging video is moving me to let it go 9-12 months.

Dwayne, I love your videos, I love your voice. Your calm nature. I'm from Dublin, I've had a beard for many years and over here it's rare unless you are a hipster but I'm a man in your shade, A family man and a man of independence. Please keep up what you do. I watch your videos when I have time for a cigar . Craig . Dublin, Ireland

hello, im just a young teenager so i cant really grow a beard but i know ill grow up and i have faith maybe i can in the future. i love to hear your stories, i love to hear that someone in 2023 is trying to bring the old ways back. i wanna move to an old fashioned town when im older, i wanna wear a cowboy hat and own farms maybe. just love to see how the old days were and thanks for showing us that through your videos.

Almost a year growing my grey beard. Trimmed it once by a barber and almost cut it off. I drink water all day, lots of protein and have lost over 70 lbs by not eating bad foods. All of this has helped the beard grow. About as long as you have and has taken this long to finally look good. Beard oils and butters work good, different types for different areas.

I’ve been growing mine since Christmas. The mustache isn’t as full and thick as I would like but it’s getting there. The rest is coming along nicely. I’ve also decided to grow my hair out as well. Thanks for the great videos and inspiration. God bless you brother.

Even though having a beard or not doesn't necessarily define one's masculinity it definitely screams attention. "I personally believe if you're going to grow it make it look good"! God bless & thanks again for some awesome content..

16 years old and for the last 2 or 3 years whenever I’d see hair coming on my face I’d always just trim it off right away cause I thought people would think I looked cleaner and more together if I did, I never actually wanted to really. But about a month ago I just decided to let it grow because I wanted to do what I truly wanted for myself and see it as a manly look. Thanks for your wisdom on things Dewayne always making me feel more sure of everything
