There's no doubt that you've got one of the best beards in the internet beardiverse - but it's awesome to see you smile. Now we know that with or without the hair, you are a decidedly handsome dude. Keep bringing the amazingly positive vibes, man. The world needs more of you.

So glad you did this. At soon to be 45 years old I’ve never understood why a young man would want to look older. I shave regularly and have been dying my hair for years now. I don’t want to look like an old man!

He shaved because he felt a new mole and wanted to go to a dermatologist to make sure it's not something abnormal. Calm your whiskers my dudes.

[@ForestAnon]

@@craigherriot4026 Look at Eric's Instagram story right now, he literally has a hospital gown on at the dermatologist telling people to get their skin checked regularly. Also go watch Beard Brand Alliance's video on it, he explains it there and talks about the mole. Partner you're taking another man's beard wayyyy too seriously. It's hair, it grows back you know. But you are actually half right as far as creating content- of course he does it for content! Otherwise why would he film it? Hahah. The best part of shaving a beard is growing it back. Relaxx.

[@theveeshowhere]

I LOVE how y’all made that a teachable moment; showing all of the styles that one can run with beard-wise. And OMG-you absolutely look carding age and your voice will TOTALLY throw someone off in person without the beard lol. You look great both ways-great job, guys! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@mountainmen9624]

I liked the different beard styles during the video and applying the products to maintain. I am growing from last 8-9 months and taking tips of Eric and greg videos. Thanks for awesome videos. From last 2 months started using the beardbrand products and I can see the positive difference.

[@ronniesunshine1163]

What is everyone talking about? Eric looks great without a beard. I honestly think he might even look a little better without it. But that beard was an epic masterpiece. Sad to see it go.

[@ThePict]

Never thought I'd say this but you look better without a beard. Wtf

[@ArthurShelby-PB]

The likes prove your point

[@R4G397]

Not even he looks way better with the beard

[@kubby6196]

[@Jeremy-sq2dj]

I think he looks better without the stache the beard I really like but not a fan of the stache on him don't get me wrong he has a very good stache but I think he looks better without it imo.

Maybe I'm just weird or a beard fan but I think he looks alot better with the beard lol

[@qbas14]

Man, you were my guru when i was growing my first long beard. I completed the 1 year beard challenge because of you. I think both - beard and shaved face look good on you! I am currently thinking about cutting my hair i was growing for over 10 years but it's so hard to go for it.

[@borisc8694]

Actually it looks good on u😂

[@someshkandara3642]

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@Aurva Roy Not black men, and certainly not Indian and Arabic Men. Clean shave looks "good" on mostly white and oriental asian men.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@Aurva Roy No I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't saying there are certain ethnicities that should not grow a beard (in my personal experience, all ethnic groups look good in beards if they choose the correct beard style). What meant was, for those who do choose to go clean shaven... that's when some men will not look good as a result of ethnicity. What I'm saying is basically like women and hair. ALL women from all ethnic groups look good with hair if they choose the appropriate hairstyle for their face shape. But for those who choose to rock the bald look (not including cancer patients), ethnicity will play a role in whether you look good or weird.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@@aurvaroy6670 Really? It doesn't? You don't live in a culturally diverse environment don't you? If that is the case then I could see why you don't understand. Where I live, where have people from all over, So get to meet all kinds of bearded and non bearded people, and know that many factors can affect how you look without a beard (and ethnicity is part of it). Even something as simple as hair texture (European with orange hair or african with curly hair, or arabic with deep black straight hair) can affect what beard style looks best on you. When it comes to being clean shaven, the same applies. Something as simple as jaw structure and lips (European men tend to have wide defined jaws and skinny lips, African have fuller lips and narrow define jaws, Indian have skinny lips with wide soft jaws, oriental asian men have semi wide jaws and semi skinny lips, etc) can affect how you look with a clean shave. Even in the bodybuilding world, it was discovered that having a darker skin tone makes your muscles look more defined on stage with lots of light, so everyone else started spraying darkening bodypaint before a contest. Your genetics and ethnic background always determine how you look in certain clothes, certain hairstyles, certain beard styles, etc. This is not to say that one ethnicity is better than another, no. What I'm saying is.. because we are so different, one style what works for one group... may not look so good on another group. Do you understand me now?

[@BerzinskyRules]

Power Beard for the win---but I like the solo cut stache too. Got a goat fan too much. Good Job Boss!

[@EricBandholz]

The stache is comin' back for sure. Then eventually the beard.

[@coleyounger1985]

In my opinion you are someone who can make any/all those looks work. Your hair is on point too. Envious of you Eric, and you as well Greg! I need to work harder at my hair!

Thanks for this video Erick! I always wonder, how healthy the skin under the beard would be after many months

[@Mixwell1983]

Been having a beard for about 6 years and only completely shaved it off about 4 times and usually would trim it down every soo often.. Got into safety razor shaving recently and decided now to just leave a goatee so I can enjoy wet shaving but keep some facial hair. Sometimes it feels amazing having a clean shaven face after soo long, the feeling of water on your skin and eating without the facial hair in the way is nice.
