A factor not mentioned here is how some faces can't grow fuller more filled in beards. Keanu is a great example. He looks good with it tight, not so much with it full because of the gaps.

[@whosoever5409]

Very true. Dev Patel has the same kind of patches in his beard but when he grows it out in full it still looks good and I think it suits him well

[@DragonLandlord]

Like the Auto-complete interview with Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal. Pedro praised Oscar's beard and grumbled about his.

[@SkurtavusGrodolfus]

Very true. Know your beard growth and accept it if you're gonna have one.

[@The_RedVIII]

Yeah, same here. I wish I could get an Oscar Isaac beard, but not everyone is blessed with that kind of beard growth.

[@yavantii3615]

I'm shocked by the amount of people mocking the term "beard expert". Like, what do you think your barber is? They're beard experts! And especially if he's a barber and he's decided that he's going to focus on facial hair more than anything else, then yeah he absolutely gets to call himself a beard expert. Also, as a hairstylist, I really enjoyed listening to his expertise.

[@hypothalapotamus5293]

People forget that somebody has to make or sculpt the things we take for granted. It's sort of like epicurious's food experts show. People laughed at the notion of icecream experts and beer experts, but they brought in a well accomplished icecream maker and a pretty big name in brewing. Both were exceptionally knowledgeable because they make these things for a living.

[@Johncali1992]

I'm a barber

[@judassab]

George Carlin would have a word or two to say about that...

[@nimue325]

I saw TV interview with someone touted as a skincare expert and the host kind of chuckled as he read that. What qualified her as such? She had a PhD in materials engineering and created molecules in a lab, understanding how slightly different versions of the “same” ingredient might be absorbed by a cell membrane differently, how more than 2.5% of a specific ingredient actually reduced its efficacy, how to encapsulate some ingredients in oxygen-reactive molecule level packages so they don’t interact with each other in the packaging but are released when applied. The world is full of people who think that because *they* know nothing, there must be nothing *to* know. Thank goodness for the experts.

[@bruceh4180]

Unfortunately, most barbers are not beard experts. Almost any barber can do a shave, few understand beard care.

[@laynef1lw]

Chris Pine's facial hair is easily my favorite. Ths style he's going for, including the long hair, spoke to me more than any other person on this video. Despite whether you're an expert or not, just like this guy said, it is about expressing yourself and your personality.

[@Drugstorecowboy8]

It's Pine and Isaac for me. They just pull it off so effortlessly.

[@gamergirl209]

Young beardless pine seems fierce and a bit cold. Strong but definitely a tone that says he could definitely mess you up. Bearded pine with the long hair is soft and approachable. It makes him seem more mature and kind. The emotion is what I look for

It’s interesting how much a beard can shape the first impression of certain men. Especially for men with dark hair like Kit Harrington and Ben Barnes, their entire presence changes without the beard.

I totally agree on Keanu's. I really dislike it when it's full. Looks a bit messy. His face shape is narrow so a well-tailored, short beard suits him better.

[@machoman6969]

I like what you said about grooming the head hair if you are going for a wild and big beard look. So true 😊

[@williamrutherford553]

I think Jon Hamm and Jake Gyllenhaal both show how much facial hair can change how we perceive a character. Jon Hamm clean-shaven does look like the suave Don Draper, but in some roles like Black Mirror having that facial hair makes him seem more rough around the edges. Gyllenhaal is the opposite; with the beard he looks distinguished, but in something like Nightcrawler where he was clean-shaven, it feeds into the character being very superficial and psychopathic. Characters aren't always supposed to be handsome, so sometimes going in the opposite direction is a good thing.

[@mattyconradgrooming]

Great commentary. I completely agree with what you are saying.
