[@russ6366]

Thanks for what you do for the bearded community. Been watching for for a couple years & I’ve used your tips! Good stuff 🤜❤️🤛

[@adamjones345]

the way this man presents is captivating and man that silver hair and beard has this young buck jealous!

[@xfurywind]

Your beard and mustache looks sooo majestic.

[@MrDRock-rc2tz]

Exactly the tip I was looking for. I'm going for a yeard and am about 4 months in. I just couldn't handle the mustache hair in my mouth so this is exactly what I've been doing. Thanks for making me feel more confident in my choice!

[@donniechapman5922]

Hey Mr Bruno, I'm 67 and just started growing my beard other than a goatie that I already had. You are right about beards I'm already getting feedback for growing it . My wife is okay with it but not one of my sisters but , you know what? I've always wanted to grow one so here goes.

[@tomharr51]

I love your videos. I've had a beard for years and I am starting to grow it out. I appreciate the tips and knowledge that you share. It is extremely helpful.

[@Th3rdborn]

Your videos are amazing and I'm learning so much. I love my beard as does my wife. It's nice to have a professional teach the best grooming techniques to maximize my beard!

[@sweatervestguy]

You, my friend, just gained a subscriber. Well spoken and bearducated.

[@davejones6812]

Dude. That stash is freakin' awesome.

[@adeaeae]

I'm new to the beard game and I love your channel. Thanks!

[@yahyag]

Good stuff George. I have exactly the same problem whenever I grow my mustache and beard out! Will try this new trimming technique.

[@Tnav02]

Looking Good ! Thanks for the trimming information!

[@skipau2215]

Love your beard... I've been watching you for a while and have learned a lot of beard tips. Just wanted to say I like your look even better with this haircut. I'm 5 months into my yeard! Thanks!!

[@joaquinflores3547]

your beard looks the same exact way like my dad's beard only that he has it a little shorter but I still cant grow it that full but the tips and advice you give are really helpful

[@AKmumu]

what a majestic beard

[@andrewdimarco8264]

Thanks for the awesome advice! I wish I lived in your area. where I live, there's no professionals to trim beards. Thanks for your your great videos!

[@Juzten]

Great videos Ive been growing mine out now mmm maybe 3 months have just over one inch of growth and its time for a mustache trim gonna try this.

[@farzad5362]

You are truly a sultan of silver, thank you kindly for great video and advise 🙏

[@rayalvintage55]

Your look is awesome love the hair style too! Keep up the good video's you make which are inspirational to aspiring beard growers!

[@BrianTheMagicGuy]

Thanks, I was looking for this very thing and couldn't find it anywhere!

[@JAK3THETUB3]

I need to find a good beard barber like you! Great tips. Thank you!

[@kahunaqg887]

Great video as always !

[@romans51kjv84]

Great stuff as always gb congrats on 40k!!!

[@bme7491]

This video answered my question about "layering" the stache hair. Glad I didn't go do it before seeing this.

[@jimmyworkman4277]

Great beard brother!

[@dillonfeforever3186]

your videos are great thanks for all the beard advice!

[@stangeric1]

I need you as my barber. first beard, going on 6 months. Getting curly. don't want a long mustache. haircut is out of control. It's a mess!!!

[@danidan5286]

My husband is drolling over your beard!

[@SuperRingo1976]

Excellent video. Really useful info.

[@titobruckner5628]

Clear video, very grateful. QUESTION: How is it that one side of the beard gets more humid-and thus longer-than the other?

[@beardedninja8717]

this is the look I am trying to achieve. my beard is full been growing almost 3 yrs now. My question is how do you make your mustache more prominent like yours? I have a nice stache now but want to make it more noticeable on my face to compliment the beard as well.

[@dillonfeforever3186]

could you do a video on how often the beard should be washed?

[@Jam-1-2]

I'm at that same "moustache" stage. I'm determined not to trim it and let the middle grow into the handlebars.... but man it's tough eating & drinking.

[@KitariFox]

+James Davey I'm right there with you man, mine is already touching the center of my bottom lip and it's always getting in my mouth when trying to eat. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to get it to part and stay put and it's very annoying to me. I'm almost at a point where I want to trim the middle of it like in the video, but I might give it a bit longer just to see what happens.

[@javzee2315]

this video helped me out big time. exactly what I was looking for thanks

[@sstaten72]

Your tips are Great you help me out so much👍🏾

[@frunzzy1]

great info man!

[@nasireleazar5571]

Mr Bruno a request if you may, can you please make a video either weekly or bi-weekly and maybe add hair tips as well as other style tips?

[@HEYSERG]

can't wait to see the upcoming haircut

[@johnidoctor9826]

Thank you man

[@JohnnyRay920]

Some of the individual hairs in my mustache want to stick out or up, so I end up cutting them. Also, when my mustache gets longer, it actually can get sore just under my nose, at the base of the hairs. When it does this, I feel like I need to trim it to make it feel better. I've never used stuff like beard oil or mustache cream or wax. I just shampoo, same as the hair on my head and when I get out of the shower, I use a little leave-in conditioner. I need to try something different, though, because I've always had very dry, wiry hair. Especially my beard. Also, my beard is much whiter now than in my picture.

[@marklara6766]

hi I love your beard I been growing a beard about 5 months now and I try with a blow dryer to straight my beard but it don't work that much I still have a wavy beard

[@joe60906]

Where did you get that shirt?? It's amazing

[@garybiles3458]

thanks for the quick reply, i have an untrimmed stache, comming up to six months and rock back and forward to the beard, when i started to grow my stache i decided to shave the hairs in the splits of the lip as i didnt really consider them stache hairs, not sure if i made a mistake or if its just a matter of preferance

[@troyking5106]

I gotta full beard to but yours is master

[@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea]

Love the shirt!

[@ListenMySon]

It's pretty funny I think lol. Peace.

[@carlgo349]

thx for the tips

[@captainobvious2380]

thanks for the great advice and I love your shirt...lol

[@jwhoogs]

great beard G. It's funny I get a lot of Santa clause jokes too. I got a new one saying I looked like ZZtop. Great videos

[@nickmordo]

George, you are a cool dude. Wish we could grab a beer sometime.

[@ammarhassan_]

Just came across ur videoes. Great stuff. Problem with my moustaches is I see hair popping out and get in my way when I am seeing down. I tried many things but I fail to get my moustaches in shape

[@Brandon_N420]

I have a pretty big beard, & it’s really curly, & thick, I have kinky hair too. I was wondering, how can I trim the sides, so it’s more flat to my face? I really wanna have like flat sides, & big on the chin. I just don’t know how to do it, & I’m afraid to mess up my 6 month beard. Not sure what to do.

[@jakecarp1981]

what do you do when one side of is longer than the other(stache ends)

[@yobabybubba]

great video, thanks George. I was using Gibs Bushmaster beard oil until I started watching your videos (and others) which promote all natural ingredients, because I thought maybe it had some the wrong ingredients. But now I'm wondering if Gibs beard oil is ok. Here are some of the ingredients in Gibs beard oil. Is cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, cylohexasiloxane and C 12-15 alkyl Bonzoate OK in a beard oil product?

[@AJCoReTV]

Helpful as all your vids! Now I know what I was doing wrong! Thx

[@jacklope1]

Where you located? I need beard cleaned up.

[@washburn9999]

i am new to the beard community. about 3 months and i'm really enjoying it...it is mostly a van dyke which i love...my questions is can i put conditioner on my mustache and beard that i would use on my hair? i keep it relatively short which i like...however, when i shampoo my hair with beard shampoo, i sometimes get fly away hairs which don't lay flat...i have resisted clipping them of to get the look i desire. any suggestions? i keep the mustache at a good length. (i've had numerous mustaches throughout the years) and the only thing that drives me nuts is an occasional hair on my lip...a single hair drives me crazy to the point of breaking out the scissors and attacking it...i find your tips very helpful and would like to thank you in advance...any advise would be greatly appreciated...keep up the good work...

[@rickw5614]

Great video. What about trimming the outside of the mustache for a handlebar look?

[@ListenMySon]

+Rick W I never trim the outside. I just converted a big beard on a guy to his first handlebar, but we kept the entire perimeter of the stache intact.

[@Zombiev1]

+Gray Bailey what if your handlebars have just grown unevenly?

[@ListenMySon]

+Zombiev1 I literally measure them from the corner of my mouth and then even it out.

[@Zombiev1]

+Gray Bailey awesome thanks for the quick reply :) all your bids have been a great help.

[@WORRO]

Bro, retire and move to Pensacola FL, and start up again, lol, man I wish I knew where I could get a good trim. I've never trimmed, it's a 3-4 year beard now. Scared to touch it actually. Good video!~John

[@MrWeAllAreOne]

new sub. Great videos.

[@raymond5578]

question a beard of your size how would you or can you tuck it for work if you wanted to.to make it look work appropriate

[@ListenMySon]

+Raymond Cesario My thoughts are a large loose braid should be able to bring it up a few inches. I know I'm going to be dealing with that issue in a few months. One potential employer told me to trim it to one inch in length. I told them that aint happening. I'll braid it, bead it, or find a cool attractive way to bring it up.

[@peteryelko2129]

How would you describe the scent of the badger beard oil and mustache wax? I saw it recently at whole foods and wasn't sure if I would like the scent.

[@Jstover88]

gray bailey, i live in lancaster Pennsylvania. i wish i could find a barber like you in my area. i have a bushy/curly red beard. i take care of it as best as possible, i do hate getting comments of me looking amish though.

[@ListenMySon]

have you tried a barbershop called The Black Comb?

[@Jstover88]

+Gray Bailey, of course. i live a few blocks away. its hard to make a appointment that i can work into my week. also got a hair cut once and wasnt to thrilled. so im afraid to get a beard trim.

[@JamesZ1025]

Where are you located brother? I’m in SC, would love visit you!

[@eduardborukhov1928]

Do you use a beard straightener or is it naturally straight? sir sultan of silver !

[@herschellebenting7558]

This dude reminds me of greg on beardbrand

[@madbear3512]

I had a full grown beard at 16. Now it seems like I can't get it to grow out. If I was in the city your at I go to your place. Where you located at anyway

[@MrJbarreda]

I like the haircut, you should keep it that style, I always like it after a week or two...

[@jarrahalobaidli]

Hello sir, i have great look beard and would like grow it more and long .. I just found my self with beard look. It define who i am :) .. The only issue i face is my work place limited the length .. I've working with them for 16 years. Got 4 years left to retire. Kindly request how to deal with them, if you can help me how to hide the length or tuck up my thick beard .. Thanks, jo

[@YossiSheba]

great channel mate. thanks for the info :)

[@cotes42]

I like this video, and subscribed! I wish I could come see you and havea trim.

[@Keegbeau]

Hey there, been watching your videos for awhile now and really enjoying the information. I've planed on growing my beard for a year and am about 6 months in. I have quite thick hair and it's becoming a hassle to manage. Was just wondering what some tips are for a thick curly beard. Thanks

[@mtanveersingh]

Where are you located?

[@HasanShepherd]

Where is your shop located? I would like to get a cut from you one day.

[@hotcraig72]

Do you ever taper the sides of a long beard to keep it more professional looking? Kind of like a reverse fade?

[@ListenMySon]

+Wacko C Absolutely. I think that's a great look too. It's a good way to switch up a big beard for a new season

[@hotcraig72]

+Gray Bailey thanks for the quick reply 👍

[@air2329]

Do you still work at players barbershop? Also you should post a video of your shaving, or cutting somebody hair.

[@jdankerdake]

Do you know any good beard-trimming stylists/barbers in the Atlanta area?

[@garymoore3446]

Great info man..hey you said that you used conditioner in your beard several days a week. What kind of conditioner would you recommend?

[@thedegmeister2437]

+Gray Bailey I have some mustache hairs that are much longer than the other mustache hairs at the tips or ends of my mustache. Do I trim those to even them up with the other hairs at the tips of my mustache? If so, any guidance or advice on that?

[@scottv9769]

What conditioner do you use for your beard?

[@ListenMySon]

+Scott V I LOVE using Eden Botanicals Coconut Co-wash. You can get it at Sally Beauty

[@nabsr]

Love the videos. I'm in month four of beard growth with my goal being six. great tip for the mustache. Mine is need of a trim.

[@ListenMySon]

Excellent! keep going. 4 to 6 months is a crucial period. Alot of guys jack up their beard at this point. Hang in there fella!

[@scottv9769]

What's the purple conditioner you mix with the co wash in your other video?

[@ListenMySon]

Jhirmack brand. it's kind of hard to find. if you can't find it, try the generic purple conditioner at Sally Beauty Supply. That's my second choice.

[@oldschoolweed771]

Dear Santa ... LOL

[@russellestridge6867]

how do you get your beard so soft?? is it JUST how yours is? Or is that possible for anyone?

[@ListenMySon]

Wash it only with conditioner. No soap or shampoo. Then oil daily. I hope that helps.

[@russellestridge6867]

+Gray Bailey Thanks, is that what you do? never shampoo? Thanks for the response.

[@ListenMySon]

+Russell Estridge I dont use shampoo. I would use a cleanser bar such as Grandpa's Pine Tar soap once a week

[@ListenMySon]

+Russell Estridge I dont use shampoo. I would use a cleanser bar such as Grandpa's Pine Tar soap once a week

[@russellestridge6867]

+Gray Bailey Ok thanks, I'll try that and see if it works. I currently use an organic bar soap made for beards about twice a week and some conditioner. I don't condition it every day tho so I'll try it that way. I do use a good oil daily. May just be my beards texture, who knows. your beard is admirable sir. cheers.

[@joshuanuss1356]

George do you have any advice for the ends of the mustache? Obviously they should be long enough to handlebar (if that's the goal), but mine lately have started curling down. At the moment, I feel that half of the hairs want to curl upwards while others push down, which leads to the ends of my mustache looking like a inch of split ends. How do you get the ends of your mustache to be so uniform? Thanks!

[@Most1ted]

What is your opinion on trimming your beard using nothing but scissors? So far I'm too scared to use a clipped. I'm afraid of butchering my beard too much.

[@ListenMySon]

I try to think about the worst case scenario. If you mess up with clippers... # 1 It'll show. # 2 You set yourself back months. Sooo.... use scissors flat to the plane of your beard. Never point in. Scissors can give a nice look. Professionally I use clippers first then scissors, but I have 360 degree 3 dimensional view of my guest's beard. You can do it, but go easy. Most of the epic beard guys have made that mistake once or twice but not more than that. It's a hard lesson. Onward!

[@Most1ted]

Thanks a lot for the tip. I'll stick with the scissors for now. Although I plan to see a professional barber soon. Especially since the longer beard requires a bit more maintenance and as I mentioned, I'm afraid to mess it up. Keep making great content! Subscribed!

[@SupernaturalBeingsofEarth]

Hi G.. so are you then saying that we should not let out stash grow from centre part all the way towards the end of the H-bars ? great show.

[@ListenMySon]

i did but it got in my food no matter how much product i used. i love the look of a 100% natural untrimmed stache but i couldnt do it. so this was my area of compromise. i actually wish i could do it.

[@SupernaturalBeingsofEarth]

***** --I'm attempting to keep my stash going,, I will see... good vid;s you have going.

[@phobos6082]

+Gray Bailey Goddamn ! That's one clean ass beard and mustache !

[@garybiles3458]

do you consider the hairs growing in the splits of the lips as stache hair or is it just the upper lip only when growing a handlebar if this makes sense?

[@ListenMySon]

Hmm. I guess it's different with everyone. I let it all grow with the trim just along my lip line to the corners of my mouth.

[@am-en2qw]

hi, I have a scar underneath my chin but a little bit on the side. the problem is that my beard is less dense on the side where the scar is than the other side. so it just doesn't look right. what do you think I should do to make it look better? thanks

[@ListenMySon]

I believe time and length are the answer for most issues. I would let it go and trim the line underneath. That may visually take ones eye from any weaker areas. If you're not going to have a huge beard, then a well shaped one is a great alternative. Thank you Ahmed. I hope it works out well sir.

[@am-en2qw]

***** thank you !

[@Jstover88]

gray Bailey, do you think I should wash out my beard product before I get a trim?

[@ListenMySon]

oh absolutely. when i get mine trimmed, i go completely unplugged and dried. When someone sits in the chill chair, i prefer a blank clean canvas. no clumping, nothing.

[@Jstover88]

thanks +Gray Bailey . I finally got a appointment today at the black comb. this is the first time I'm touching my beard in over 3 months. just want to make sure everything is nice and even, get rid of some of them extra long hairs that shoot out from the bottom.

[@ListenMySon]

+josh stover Excellent. Good spot. Tell the brothers there I said hello

[@Jstover88]

do they know you as Gray Bailey?

[@ListenMySon]

+josh stover George Bruno on instagram. Not sure if they know this channel.

[@bioniccorndog]

I've trimmed my mustache in a similar fashion to what you show here and it looks great, but I have another issue. No matter what products I use, the longer mustache hairs beyond the corners of my mouth tend to be pretty ornery and just won't stay uniform with the mustache the way yours does. My hair is pretty straight, so my beard looks very similar to yours but I'll get wild hairs that either don't want to flow in the right direction or are super curly. Would you say this is a trimming issue? Would blow drying help?

[@ListenMySon]

No not at all. it really is a length and training issue. let them grow and spend an extra few seconds blowdrying them in the direction you want them to go. i have the same issue. hope that helps. cheers!

[@bioniccorndog]

Thanks a lot, I'll try that. Awesome channel!

[@Doomsara]

Such a cool guy! Subbed! You've got so much knowledge about facial hair wow :) I would also like an advice if possible.. I have a longer beard and mustache.. but I don't have any hair or my cheeks (genetics) What is your advice on how i could grow my beard in best way and what style to use on my mustache? I really like yours

[@f1f1k2]

Where are you located in PA????!!!! I'm in Akron,Ohio... I need a road trip

[@davemccoy1805]

George I live in Georgia about 1 hr. west of Atlanta. Do you know of any Beard Stylist in the area? Having a difficult time finding one

[@georgewilliams6994]

Great vids GB. Can you recommend coloring product to make my beard/moustache solid white? It's s&p now and looks bad (or could look better if all one color). Was actually considering peroxide and go with bright yellow. Help please talk some sense into me. Thank you.

[@ListenMySon]

You could "lift" the existing color with a peroxide made for hair. Then put a gray or silverish toner on it. This needs to be done professionally as the chemicals are strong and toxic. I dont recommend it.

[@handsomeyeti2056]

"if in doubt...grow it out" :)

[@ListenMySon]

amen!

[@SuperCaricas]

Where can you buy a T-trimmer?

[@ListenMySon]

Try Amazon.com

[@SuperCaricas]

Thanks. Any brand you suggest?

[@phewd]

Hope this comment finds it's way to you, sir! It know it's a been a while since this was posted. I see the constant back & forth about whether to trim or not to trim the handlebar mustache. I'm at a point where, washed and without styling, the hair is into my mouth or just past (but because of curl, ends up in my mouth anyway. I also feel like I'm constantly fighting the hair, even though I've been styling it for months. It doesn't seem to want to 'train.' I'm thinking I may just want to trim it like this and stop fighting it...any advice?

[@ListenMySon]

+telecom_shaun Purists will tell you to not trim but practicalists say to trim. It all depends what your image goal is and your tolerance for the stuff you have to do to eat, drink, kiss, etc.

[@tannerK102]

I have what is probably a novice question for you bearded fellows here: what does the 'cool' shot achieve when styling your mustache?

[@DanielZambranohernandez]

What about a Patchy beard tutorial?

[@ListenMySon]

my beard was very sparse and patchy. I started taking 10,000 mcg of Biotin and vitamins for hair and skin everyday and let the nutrients do their thing. Drank tons of water and massaged my face a few times a day. It worked for me. Your results may be different but I would try it.

[@ListenMySon]

Have you all seen my Straight razor shave video from last year? It's interesting for the shaving man. Scary for the bearded man lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oni5Zohsm76todk

[@jonathanwoken2201]

You're videos are amazing I've watched your straight razor video about a dozen times its by far your most viewed video due to the fact that it's super relaxing its "asmr" witch is super popular on KZbin you rock!

definitely think this was your beard at its finest. perfect length and shape. at that time, did u take your sides down while letting goatee area grow?
