[@geraldflinchbaugh3635]

Thanks Eric. Great video from a guy who knows what he's talking about and is passionate about it. Beard or no beard currently. Keep up the great work. I have definitely learned to appreciate Beardbrand.

[@HitmanCRO1]

I like the new approach Eric has taken with his presence on the channel. He is a lot more open, relaxed and delivers the message in a fun way. I have been subscribed for the past 4 years so I can see the new positive vibe coming from Eric. Keep on growing!

[@kianustarr]

Good advice, I began growing in November and managed to get 60 days into a 90 day challenge with great results, and one little seed of second guessing myself on new year's eve was enough to result in my shaving it off. Fortunately, I snapped daily photos, looked at the development and opted to begin again a few days later. Thank you for all the beard and grooming videos, the support and motivation, Eric. Hope to visit Beard Brand next time I'm in Austin. 🙂

After seeing Eric's, "taking a break for family" video I totally get what is going on in this video now. He is not crazy hyper, or drunk, he is exhausted. Probably working on 1 or 2 hours of sleep. Glad everything worked out ok with his wife and new son. With this quarantine , and everyone growing beards this guy will be making a boatload of money.

2020 year of the mustache...keep on growing

[@mattjones7621]

In general, I agree about not shaving the neckline and cheek lines early on. However, mine comes in pretty good in exactly two weeks. I use a beard ninja beard tool to line up my neckline. My cheeks have a natural 'line' in them when I bend my head sideways and I go by that when lining them up.

[@Malkamok]

I'm not sure if Eric was exausted, acting out, or drunk... but hell, I'm enjoying that. Beard on, man.

You can rock whatever beard you want but if you rock a chinstrap, bless your heart, boy...just bless your heart. Truer words have never been spoken.

[@ryanr85]

Love it, I’m 20 and I’m trying to grow a beard and so far my upper lip and chin grow the best so I’m rocking somewhat of a circle beard until my sides catch up. I’m just gonna rock with what I got and what looks best right now. My middle portion of my mustache will probably fill all the way in, in a couple months. I didn’t even think I could grow what I have right now until I actually grew it out past a month. Now I surprised everyone I know and they’re wondering where it came from. In the beginning, it wasn’t all positive and remarks but I told them hey bear with me, I’m trying to grow it out. I’m pleased with what I have right now but I’m certainly not done growing. I’ve really only been growing for almost 2 months. Been shaving the sides though.

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

looks good to me from what I can see in the little thumbnail pic. at 20 you have a good look going, I just had a thin mustache and a goatee at that age then as time went by more came in enough that I could let it grow without it looking too thin and scraggly. I think you are on the right track with the idea of working with what you have at the moment and shaving the thin areas at the sides and whatnot. nothing wrong with a goat and stach especially younger dudes look good that way. I am 41 now and the full beard works for me, but it didn't always.

[@ryanr85]

Two years ago Beard Brand launched the yeard with Jack Miloco. I began on that journey at that time also. I participated in the program even posted a photo of my beard for evaluation. That was 27 months ago. To date no length has been removed, only a few wild hairs have been trimmed with scissors and the cheek line have been evened by a professional beard barber. At this time my beard had reached 16 inches measured from my lower lip. At the present my plans are "to let 'er grow."

[@snortchgortch4253]

Hi Eric, question for you if you have a moment it I would feel highly honored. I’m on the 2nd month, my cheeks , although sparse, have even distribution across my cheeks, but it’s just not dense. My goatee and mustache is thick, looks good. In short because of the sparse hair I still see skin across the whole of both cheeks. Furthermore my hair is a grey and blonde mix. Is there a chance this will fill in in the next month or two? Thanks you so much in advance !👍🇺🇸

Idk why everyone says you have a high voice it's kinda funny. But anyways just wanted to clarify a few things. You the man.

I'm 3 months into Beardbrand products. During the process, I have added other names to the mix. I can attest to the quality versus the "competition".

Grow on now.

I admit that I have mustache envy when I see you, Greg, and Carlos. It's not so much the length that I'm jealous of, because mine covers the upper lip. It just isn't dense enough.
