If it makes you happy, wear it.

@ghost mall nobody cares if it’s objectively bad. If u like it you wear it

[@exmortisantoniuscruciadus9715]

Words of wisdom, words of kindness!

[@Stalkers-Get-A-Life]

For Real Mane if you Like your Beard who cares what others Think

[@EricBandholz]

No argument from me that the beardstache is one of the best looking styles. :)

[@RockDodger]

Beard stache has been a staple for me for at least a decade now.. Hope this reply finds you well Eric.

[@riyazhamirani1890]

Hey bad boyu

[@josephevans2912]

Eric you have one of the best beardstache examples, I always like it when you bring it back around

[@dannygraves8334]

I have the beardstache love it

[@KyleKnoblauch]

Beardstache FTW

[@OmidoDorito]

I just got the circle beard from full beard and I think it looks great 😂

[@TK-lt9kr]

Yep...where I live, the horseshoe is normal (cowboys, ranchers, farmers). I definitely get looked at when I'm walking downtown in a big city but for the most part, people tell me it's awesome!

[@EmbraceTheBeardLife]

Greg is back! Excited to watch this one.

[@dougwheeler1265]

I have to agree with a lot of the comments on here, that circle beards are definitely not out of style. I see an awful lot of people with circle beards and they look great! A little scruff with them is a good look too, but either way, there is nothing wrong with them.

[@josephevans2912]

I’m currently rocking a beardstache, It’s easy I just shave the stubble off every three or four days to maintain the look without a trimmer, plus I don’t get the clippings all over the place

[@Daniel_D_King]

I used to shave my neck right up to my jaw line and wear a chin strap as my moustache is very thin and had disconnects from my beard, I also had almost no hair in the ”soul patch“ area, and the hair on my neck was extremely sparse... now my neck and the disconnects have filled in properly I'm allowing the beard to grow out and maintaining a much better neck line. thanks for the tips!

[@007hwm3]

I did the biker stache with scruff a few years back and pulled it off. Scruff does fix a lot of styles!

[@jamiebackhus900]

When I start worrying about what other people do that has no negative impact on my life or anyone else's. I'd better start looking within myself. Love beardbrand and their products. But this comes off as too judgey to me. If beardbrands goal is to become men's cosmo. Then please go ahead and proceed. I will support any style of an individual that brings them joy and happiness.

[@foxbadger]

I think this video is an opinion piece with advice of what to do if you happen to be considering a change from one of these three styles. But, yes, you do have to look past the opinion / listicle / marketing slant. I've had both the circle beard and the short beard but moved to a full beard with handlebar over the past year. Also love Beardbrand's products and support people being themselves.

[@jamiebackhus900]

@@foxbadger I'm okay with opinions. Opinions obtain to individuals. Although I might not like something personally. I don't decide, determine or dictate what others might enjoy. I keep styles focused on me on what applies and doesn't. I like full beard and mustache. That's for me. A lot of people like and dislike it. That goes for any style. Fumanchues, circle goatees and van dykes look great on a lot of people as well. It's all subjective. Maybe it's just me but people's styles are their personal preference. My perception of this video throws shade on certain styles rather than solely helping individuals trying to fix a style they want to get away from.

[@ashshaw2552]

Absolutely agree. Gregg's chat In this video ain't right. Almost a bit high and mighty..a circle beard did not look good on him, neither did a handle bar mustache but to some folk they could rock it really well.. Greg's always tailored, suited and booted and it matches his bears...wack on some Levi denims and a vintage aerosmith T shirt and he won't pull it off, but someone with that style and a handle bar mustache would..so yaknow

[@foxbadger]

@@jamiebackhus900 You have a totally fair take on the video. I may filter it out, but the judgmental tone is 100% there.

[@jamiebackhus900]

@@foxbadger I don't believe by any means that was the intention. But it comes off that way to me at least. Again that's just my opinion. I honestly believe BB and alliance are trying to help. I don't know any of them personally. But I don't believe they're trying to intentionally bash anyone.

[@ryptoll4801]

When I was first experimenting with different facial hair styles, I did a weirdly combined longer circle beard with chin straps, and shaved the neckline way too high, so my goatee was super thin. So basically a combination of both #1 and #2 at once. Not doing that again! I'm growing my full beard out long right now.

[@whitebuffaloblacksheep]

I call that the Fred durst

[@TommyboyGTP]

Here in Florida in the 90's, the circle beard was also called a Key West bullseye

[@the_Beef_Man]

Take a shot everytime you see a circlebeard in FL

[@iammaxthompson14]

Greg- please do the chevron!

[@connor_culp24]

George Lucas is the classic example of shaving too high of a neck line

[@BuschLeaGamer]

Couldn’t disagree more with the “circle beard” advice. I tend to do what everyone else is NOT doing, and I saw that everyone and their dog has a beard nowadays, so I went back to a stubble length circle beard just to be different. I think they look bad ass.

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

This is some old Jewish guys opinion what does he know he has a mustache that went out of style in the 1800's a 60 year old Hipster, lol!

[@mfzoom5401]

@DICC SUCCER With no moustache it’s just a semicircle, genius…

[@benadams3569]

I have a circle beard as well and share your opinion on his advice. He looks like the 70 year old man who refuses to acknowledge his beard and hair make him look old.

[@benadams3569]

besides, "circle beard" is one of the dumbest things to call it because MOST of what I am going to call goatees are not circular.This old fart is a tool. lol

[@wesleywarsmith1113]

Same here. Having a Full beard is trendy and usually makes the guy seem like he's trying to hide his face . I'm proud of my face,jaw ,and chin .

[@mydude8731]

Trying to grow mines as we speak, women love circle beards

[@payton815971]

Best opening like I’ve ever heard

[@austriantruther4648]

I love the circle beard.

[@wellingtonlewis9040]

Me too

[@sporkfaceman]

Well you have to realize these guys on this channel are upper class snobs not normal working Joe guys which is why they overcharge for their products. Did you hear him say ugh the people outside the city still wear a circle beard. That's because he is a snob. Most normal people like the circle beard.

[@vananon51]

Circle beard is one of the best goatee styles. Many men look good with it. Never outdated to have one.

[@travisrichardson787]

My dad has a basic circle beard and so does my brothers .I love it .it makes me think of my dad.it’s never gonna get shaved.

[@jroobz]

My facial hair has finally kicked in at the age of 36. I can grow a thin circle beard and I love it!

[@MrVisde]

Still working on my beard trimming skills. I’ve learned I like the traditional looking Van Dyke with longer scruff on the sides.

[@mr-sam-jax]

9:12 oh man I can see the second chevron example is my famous friend charles dera 😄

[@statusquoreject]

Very nice beard, and good video. As for me, society doesn't dictate what looks on my face and how my beard should look, I make that decision.

[@ChrisPatrick-q6k]

It's a bit odd, he needs something closer cut, looks a bit odd.

[@washburn9999]

good video....i sport a van dyke and love it...i could never do a circle beard...not a big fan...thanks and keep up the good work.

[@patriarchmike]

Been growing the beard out since February. Its just like yours greg except its all black. I was like you. I never would grow a full beard because I have that same disconnect between all three areas of hair as you do, but its all connected now and after about 3 inches length. It starts to connect after about an inch but now it looks great. My gf was not happy at first when I started growing the neck out but now she loves it cuz I look like a "conquistador" lol. Btw, I started growing the neck part after I already had about an inch of length on the sides and 2 inches on the chin with a full stash. Which made it easier because the neck hairs grow faster so it caught up nicely. The sides of the stash are starting to curl again like when I would grow a van dyke. I'm actually an artist so people really liked that style on me but now that I know I can grow a full thick black beard I'm never shaving again and my gf likes to oil it because of how fluffy and bushy and soft it is. So thanks for the encouragement and advice Greg. I was actually close to giving up until I watched your patchy beard episode were you showed us your patches. It all makes so much sense now. The gaps are there for a reason. Even after the beard grows over the patches, there is still a little valley for the mustache to lay into. Its like God designed it to be that way on purpose

[@patriarchmike]

@ghost mall if you have a rough prickly beard then you definitely want to use beard oil

[@patriarchmike]

I didn't know you went to prison Greg... @2:15 😆

[@Castromany]

Neither did I !! WOOW!!!!

[@stephenshelton4267]

Chasing trends is how we got stuck with nearly a century of shaving being the expectation for adult men. Do what you like, and theres nothing wrong with a goatee (I refuse to call it by that other name). On the one hand this is one of the most butchered beard types, but a properly grown one looks great. Also many guys can't grow cheek hair.

[@jackkelly3697]

"give you 3 beard patterns" *holds up 4 fingers* 😂 but seriously great vid as always, Greg.

[@BerzinskyRules]

Good catch!

[@kalebabel1348]

We're not in the roaring twenties we're in the screaming twenties

[@hellbillymods45]

Ha ha ha, that really made me laugh out loud, good one.

[@macscotter9458]

Absolutely, you need to go for the Chevron Stache! It would look awesome! Especially for summer!

[@cj222100]

There was a beard style I remember from the late 90s/early 00s where it was like a very thin line tracing your chin & jaw, often worn without a mustache. Haven't seen it in years though

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Very few guys can pull off the solo mustache and almost none of them have light colored hair.

[@nickpapageorgio4944]

Chris Pine rocks an epic goatee. I'm actually a big fan of it. Not sure why it's our of style. I think it is one of the best looks when done right.

[@jabberwock14]

9:12 I know he didn't use Charles Dera... For real though Charles has a great chevron/beardstache

[@congerscott6064]

I'm keeping my long beard, if it goes out of style I'll keep on growing it and when it comes back in style I'll be looking great.

[@angelicoc.3237]

My strongest part my facial hair, is my goatee, at 21. My mustache... I have no idea what potential it could have, as I never let it grow for more than a month. And sideburns... what are sideburns??? Currently trying to grow the “Anchor” beard.

[@itsovertonite]

How do you feel about Mutton chops with or without stache?

[@TxmmyBeats]

But I can’t grow hair on my cheeks 😭 so I have to resort to the circle beard

[@austriantruther4648]

Your look is amazing!!

[@RETROMANIAToronto]

You forgot the most outdated and never again to exist beard style the pencil thin chinstrap either with a pencil thin mustache or no mustache it just looked so bad and made it look like you could not grow proper facial hair and trying way toooooooooo hard I know I did it back on the 2000s and I regret I ever did it

[@JakeTerch]

It’s also probably the most difficult style to maintain as well haha

[@jamiebackhus900]

I say whatever people enjoy and prefer. Let them rock what makes them happy. I really don't survey/ judge people on what kind of facial hair style they have. Don't matter to me. I stay in my lane and usually mind my own. If someone rocks a neck beard with a mullet and it makes them happy. Do you. I don't read and base my life on cosmos opinion on what's hot and what's not. As long as I'm kind to people. We're good.

[@Lito-Lapid]

I always wore a circle beard for many years up until 3 years ago and tried different looks and ended up sticking with the anchor beard. With some scruff.

[@stevenpettinga7400]

Very good advice sir. A scruffy beard is much better looking than being too trimmed. Your beard looks very good. Turning grey, or salt & pepper, does not diminish your appearance; coloring it does. So, thanks for not doing the Hollywood / D.C thing of trying to look 30. In addition, you have good eyebrows which many men don't have. Your beard also enhances your vest, proper shirt, & your tie. Clothing, even if you think it's out of date, isn't. Looking good, or better than the next fellow, is never going out of date

[@markwilliamson9140]

Good video mate. You're looking sharp Greg, nice 👌

[@stevehenkel354]

This is interesting because it was my internet search for what I thought was the traditional "goatee" that brought me to Beardbrand. And what's funnier is that what I was looking for turned out not to be called a goatee (which I didn't even know how to spell) but was called the, wait for it..."circle beard". PLUS, when I started reading the first page I came across, a Beardbrand blog post on goatee styles, I started really liking the "scruffy goat", which looks nothing more than a circle beard with some, wait for it...scruff. 😛 I have to agree with Greg. I would never grow the biker stache, and the high (no) neckline just doesn't look right in my opinion. The circle beard? Now that you mention it, it seems to common for me right now. Besides, I'm in love with the beard that's developing in my journey towards my first yeard. Heck, it's going to be really hard to cut it back to anything else after waiting for it for a whole year. 😜 I have to add something. Greg, the vest looks SHARP!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@exerciserelax8719]

I agree with your taste, a lot of these looks are out of style. Question, how do you maintain stubble?

[@Dreoilin]

Yes! So much great info.

[@speel1959]

Looking 'classy' as ever Greg. 👍👍👍

[@eddiewatkinson1506]

But what about eyeliner, is that in style now?

[@meangreen7389]

You’ve made me think about doing a change up. Hey, if I don’t like it, change it up again. Thank you.

[@coldfire22]

So upset. After a great 4 month beard, I tried to clean it up and trim it some.. I messed up big time. First time cleaning/trimming it yourself is harder than I thought. I decided to just shave it off. Summers here are hot and humid, so I just decided to keep clean shaven until Autumn and start growing it out again. I have a great beard after just a few weeks, but man my long 4 month beard just felt great. Hopefully next time I won't mess up when/if I trim it.

[@Senseijohn84]

All of Greg's looks are amazing, this current look though is by far my favorite. Look classy and handsome, my man.

[@krayzieegg7294]

Yup. Chevron is actually the one im wearing right now before it becomes a trend

[@Oscar-ws3mf]

I used to wear circle beard now I wear anchor beard and stash

[@markorajkovic9580]

This was interesting to watch. I tried the circle beard in the past and only kept it for a short period of time. Didn't like it much at all. The chevron sounds very interesting though. I always been interested about wearing a stache. Let's see if I ever get there.

[@anthonypludwig]

It was nice to see Jack Milocco again.

[@yeahdonaldgaming3348]

If you wear something with confidence that’s all that matters. That’s how trends start in the first place.

[@DropoutJerome]

Just do what style you like and don't listen to some fashion channel that's telling you what looks good. Be your own person. If these guys listened to fashion magazines or whatever they wouldve never made beard brand. The owner would've never grew out his hair and all that according to what he shared.

[@DropoutJerome]

@ghost mall Yeah, how dare somebody leave an opinion in a feature provided by the service host. The nerve of them. It's almost like you could just, scroll past comments that you disagree with. I know, I know... personal accountability is lost on most folks these days

[@KingPookienation]

I love my van dyk and beard and mustache Handel bars !

[@seybertooth9282]

I wear my Van Dyke proudly (proper separation between mustache and beard, the definition of a van dyke). Looking like the three effing musketeers and making no apologies. Is it trendy? No idea, couldn't care less.

[@c.w.9615]

What do you think about the "Zappa"?

[@rastaisfuture8630]

Actually a few fighter goon hocley players do great with the biker stash

[@jackwallacephotography7467]

James Hetfield suits the Biker stache one of the few that do though 😂

[@filipdendis7988]

Well you can sey he improved it, when he was younger...

[@MagicalSkyWizard]

I agree with all of these, although would you consider Sam Elliott's moustache a biker stache or its own entire beast? Thats my goal for movember and depending on how it goes the rest of my life

[@edo3297]

Is it possible to fix a chin strap (maybe due to a poor amount of beard on cheeks) by simply lowering the neckline, or in that case the overall "weight" is shifted towards the bottom of the face?

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

A razor and a Fudge load of shaving cream my friend 😅

[@elmagnificodep]

I have an authentic van dyke. When I saw his first 90’s photo, I was sad, but mine is more like the second “circle beard” idea.

[@goranvidakovic703]

I wanna try Van Dyke since I can't have anything else 🤷🏻‍♂️ and actually it looks kinda good on my face. Let's see in couple of weeks what's gonna happen

[@Mike-cs4pl]

The fumanchu your thoughts sir?

[@J155P]

Circle beards and the high neckline beard make me want to punt a puppy.

[@HectorHAli]

Thank you for your effort and work making us men understanding our facial hair problems giving us time to focus on other things in life..women 😂😂😂😂😂

[@lukeescamilla9386]

That soaring 20s comment didn’t age will. It was a nice thought.

[@sheldoncedwardthibault3599]

I wore a full beard in '99 and still today 24 years later in '23.

[@Rob-rm7mj]

I’m a huge fan of beards but the chin strap is the worst and I’m not digging the extreme line-ups either. I like a beard to look natural. Staches of any kind are so masculine in my opinion.

[@thedude877]

Style is an illusion. Wear what you like.

[@loud479]

I had a circle beard until October as a result of having pretty sparse sideburns but since i was wearing a mask at work i decided to grow my sides, now masks are no longer mandatory where i live so im considering my options

[@Durmomo0]

The 1 finger above my adams apple thing never works for me because its like 3 inches below my chin (I have a crappy jawline) If I grow like that it just looks like I have a huge neckbeard down below my chin.

[@GhostOO9]

I started growing the stach 2 months ago because I felt like it was in it’s way in

[@thecowboy9698]

I disagree about the goatee/circle beard. I think it's still an excellent look. When it comes to whether a beardstyle is out of style anymore, let me ask you this: Who's life are you living, yours or someone else's? Would you rather try and keep up with style trends, which are here today and gone tomorrow, or would rather be yourself?

[@benaoumyasine]

i think that your gotee in the past was looked amazing

[@clausm2203]

Great video

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

The Vandyke better not be on this list… Greg anything around the mouth to the chin is a circle beard like a VANDYKE. Me:Nooooooooooo😞

[@veen9667]

I was the 1K liker :)

[@user-ek7ce9hs7x]

Does he have eyeliner on?

[@interconnectedmysticalflyi130]

Perfect video at the right time when I just cut a circle beard ,I will let it scruff out

[@jokerplasma7960]

I Love the classic mustache. But i dont have the volume yet and I’m probably a bit to young for this beard…

[@innocentrage1]

Awesome suggestions, I am gonna grow my circle beard into the scruffy goat

[@seeburg220]

Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about that pompadour! Kenny Rogers, is that you? 😄

[@SonofGalahad]

So you are saying I should grow a circle beard.

[@briancalder6564]

Stick with what you feel comfortable with in my case tidy or grown out goatee esque growth and shaved head, don't let people who want to stay current get to you..not everyone wants to look like everyone else rock your look.

[@ashleyprincewashington2130]

I think goatees encircle beards are badass regardless ... If you're happy with what you were do it

[@yousafahmadi3168]

Imagine him picking his grand children from daycare all the teachers👀

[@DanTanaka]

Seriously, who are you, or who is anyone to decide what is "out of style"?

[@prosimian]

Society decides

[@170ozzman]

we always called those Goats

[@andyspark5192]

It's a bit strange. The guy criticizes the horseshoe beard, but his beard kinda asks for it. Think away the gray beard hairs. What's left? The horseshoe beard.

[@gashed8377]

The circle beard is far from out of style, but it is far from profitable for Beardbrand. Little if any product is needed to maintain one. I think they are trying to influence the market with this video.

[@theidiotfiles9414]

I'm a bald man I got few beard options

[@Oscar-ws3mf]

If a person works in a food place can he legally be asked to shave ? Or does he have the right of wearing a beard ?

[@jvsings9146]

Neck hair scruff example was not flattering.
