MAN I'm glad I found your guide after watching 4 other videos that didn't really apply to me. I'm long, going short same length as you, followed your #7 goatee area and #6 sides. Flattend the bottom and then shaped the jaw. It turned out exactly how I wanted! Wife's happy I'm happy! Big thanks brother!!

You posted this awhile ago. I just wanted to thank you for it. It was EXTREMELY helpful to me. I've always had a relatively low cut beard. Being middle age I had never grown a big beard. Well I achieved success grew that big beard and I wanted to take it down some just not as low as before and I was leary to try after all the work of growing it. Because of your video I feel I am armed to give it a try. Thank you again.

A beard is full time job, a big responsibility. It's almost mathematical, measurements, quantity, angles. I'm learning something new about men and their beards every day now. I have a new found respect for the Beard. I used to just admire a mans full beard and wanna touch it, I had no idea just how much goes into a sexy full beard. It's not just about growing it out and brushing it. It's almost mathematical, there are measurements, the quantity you want to remove, angles of the facial features, the size of the guards, the precision in a guard free trim, the steadiness of the hand, the confidence after the end result. How can you not love a man with a styled beard. A man who styles and cares for his beard is showing lady that he loves himself just as much as he loves her by gracing her with such an outstandingly trimmed beard. I take my hat off to all men with beards. It makes you look dangerously sexy. Okay, I'm going to stop now.

@@GregBoswell428 One question Greg, if you can help me. Is it really that important to go for hair? I mean, instead of using a 2.2cm one in this case, if I used a 3cm one in favor of the hair, the result would not be similar? Going in favor of the hair, I notice that the hair that always stays longer is from below the earlobe, not the one on the chin, which is how I think it should be. Why do you see it as important to go in favor of hair?

I was using my beard as a bit of a deterrent and certainly as a "screening device" with women as I have been single for almost 2 years and not really wanting to date at this time anyway. Well, I seemed to have found a beautiful woman that absolutely love my look with the long beard. And bc I'm so into this whole bearded life and community, not to mention all the products i have accumulated over the past year (50 bottles of oil for starter, it looks like I might never need to refer back to this video!

Looks great! You clearly suit any size beard. In another life I was/am a straight razor collector, user and sharpener - they are great for the neck and cheek line too, though you obviously don't need help in that area (and you definitely don't want to use a finger as a guard with a straight razor!!). Not sure if I'm ready to go shorter yet but this has been saved as my go-to video when (if) I do. My issue is that I am fairly thin (and have white hair) on the cheeks (more so on the right side - I think maybe because I sleep on that side), and time and length has helped cover the thinner spots. Though, it looks like the sides don't get hit very hard in your trim and as you say hair grows back. Maybe when we come into our summer (Australia - so Nov or so) I'll give this a shot. Thanks Greg - great video as usual.
