How To Trim Your Own Beard | Greg Berzinsky

[@astoria1996]

This guy legit looks like one of the Gods of Olympus

[@tajdidajman4889]

His mirror is his scepter

[@stemikger]

I agree, but I saw a picture of him without the beard and without it, he looks so different and dare I say strange, his beard is like a super power. With it he looks like a male model, without it he looks kind of weird. It's a shocking difference.

[@pcxdrone]

Is Olympus a poodle?

[@1980jaram]

Tajdid Ajman has

[@zonkerinosqweakertown3058]

Dude looks like Morrissey to me.

[@Uncle_Tijikun]

It's impossible not to appreciate Greg's contents, such a cool guy, and he has an amazing beard! Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!

[@BerzinskyRules]

Davide Cerullo Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the content, and thanks a lot for the anniversary wishes.

[@thebatman1569]

Thank you for being my dad and teaching me how to trim my beard!

[@joaodanni]

This is so cringy

[@adamtraininglog4112]

*Daddy

[@MotherAlgorithm]

oooh daddy

[@mstickyes2683]

I tride trimming my beard twice and twice I shaved

[@BerzinskyRules]

mstick yes yes, it can be daunting, but if you start by just trimming off a quarter of an inch, it'll give you more courage to trim more.

[@Dediskated]

Tried*

[@traveling47]

i've trimmed me a good number of times... with that said teach time i've shaved off my beard in the last 15 years was do to messing up a trim. i wanted it symmetrical and over corrected.

[@HumanCreativity]

the first cut was really a brave one, you helped me not beeing affraid to shape my beard today, thank you Greg. Happy 25th Anniversary

[@BerzinskyRules]

Thank you---and yes #firstcutisthedeepest

[@TacticalGhost939]

The advice to not go back and forth, but instead live with it for a couple days is so good.

[@megagene]

that hand mirror, though

[@jackillest549]

so extra

[@BerzinskyRules]

megagene it was a wedding present. The Sun on the mirror side and a moon on the handle. And I cut it on the solar eclipse, very apropos.

[@megagene]

It's super cool!

[@rhiittman]

Good enough to do blow off it

[@Jerrydmech]

It’s like a Game of Thrones mirror

[@Jason-pl9mm]

Mr. Berzinsky I've only been growing my beard for a year now I used to keep it trimmed on the short side until I saw a video by you. You sir are the beard man I strive to be I plan on ordering some of your products and trying them out as I have chosen to grow my beard out and try to achieve the awesomeness that is your beard.

[@bubba1match]

I like how meticulous and caring you are for your beard. It's really inspiring.

[@TacosAndBenders]

I haven't had a long beard since high school. I'm tempted to give it another shot. Greg has inspired me.

[@BerzinskyRules]

#beardon

[@UkuleleVillain]

wait, how did they let let you have a long beard in high school?

[@adriangillespie3384]

Thanks Greg. Been staring at my beard with scissors in hand for weeks but too worried I'd muck it up. Best tutorial I've seen for me and what I wanted. Had a go today and it looks pretty good for my first attempt.

[@squatchh_]

Great video, Greg, very informative. I am always envious of you straight haired beard guys. I feel like you have many more options than us curly bearded dudes. I'd like someone with a big red curly beard like mine to make a video like this. Look forward to the mustache trim part two to this.

[@joshcarter6297]

Whiskey Fett they also wish for our full curly beards that have their own pros and cons. Rock whatcha got! Beard on!!!

[@BerzinskyRules]

Whiskey Fett it's true, I wish my beard was Curly. I find it easier to cut curly hair than straight. It's very unforgiving to cut straight hair

[@keithlutes1511]

I too have a large curly ginger beard. Maintaining and calming the beast is a struggle!

[@Nanor02]

You definitely show other older people who's boss! Love the beard too.

[@BerzinskyRules]

RGHFlinks I hope to inspire, if possible.

[@MrTShbib]

Great job. Whenever I try to use multiple mirrors I feel like I'm trying to slap the top of my head while rubbing my stomach and end up stabbing myself in the face with the scissors. But after my barber butchered half of my beard I dont trust anyone else but myself. Will practice until I get it down.

[@BerzinskyRules]

MrTShbib you need to get into the zone and only look at the mirror and never look down at what your hands are doing just watch your hands in the mirror.

[@nyke030]

I can watch you caring about your beard the whole fucking day. Awesome.

[@wolfen8622]

Bye far the best self-trim result I've seen in a long time!

[@BerzinskyRules]

Wolfen thank you....glad you liked it.

[@MAGAMAN]

Great advice on waiting a day to trim any minor unevenness. I started doing this and it seems to give me better results.

[@BerzinskyRules]

A good life lesson for REALLY important decisions in life--always step back and reflect

[@borsukbezlap]

That edge softening technique could be really handy. I must try it next time I trim my beard

[@BerzinskyRules]

Van Hoover it's very important especially if your beard is straighter.

[@dylansgarage2024]

The content is super helpful, Greg! I'm 24, trying to start my first real beard and your videos are my go-to's for any questions! Beardbrand products are definitely worth the money!

[@peterhughes4832]

Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary , & I just love your Beard Greg' I turned 50 last month and my beard is similar colour to your own

[@jimwarnock1250]

Very helpful! I was getting scraggly, but heard horror stories from those who've tried dyi beard trimming. Followed your steps and it all worked out.

[@byteme13456874]

Thanks for the video! I've just turned 22 and am growing my first real beard, this will help me keep it maintained, as I don't trust anybody else to touch it!

[@rfishrfish4242]

I Learned a lot from your videos, U R T Best on KZbin...your videos have no B.S...

[@kidzdad67]

I have a tip for trimming your own beard which is to wear a shirt that is in contrast to your beard color. gray or light colored beard, wear a dark colored shirt and vice versa. helps to see better when there's contrast. beard on

[@joshcarter6297]

Can't imagine a better reason to shave Greg, plus you could really show these patchy bearded folks your beard journey from scratch! Not that my opinion matters, but I am hoping for a beardstache. Thanks for the awesome content, i also have only had a few lifetime pro beard trims, nice to see how you have developed your techniques. Cheers Berzinsky.

[@BerzinskyRules]

Joshua Carter there's an intrepidation with trimming a beard and even more so with cutting it back to beardstache. But never say never

[@wardnichols7672]

I like to take small steps when trimming my beard also. Congrats on the 25th anniversary - my wife and I celebrated our 25th last month.

[@Beardbrand]

Baby steps still get you there eventually. Beard on brother! Congrats on your anniversary as well! -Josh

[@samjamesdutton6064]

Greg is a beard God! Happy Anniversary

Sam James Dutton On to the Golden!

[@bevictorious3776]

Sm James Dutton Greetings Brother , that statement is not legit

[@TheAxeh]

I've been seriously anxious about cutting my own so i'm looking forward to going over this a few times :')

[@BerzinskyRules]

small cuts......baby steps

[@leecrotty658]

Booooo you’re photo says you chopped it ofg

[@TheAxeh]

@@leecrotty658 oh that was quite done time ago now

[@LarsRibe]

I don't know beardbrand, but here in europe, Solingen-made scissors are the way to go. Great work on that trim! Very well done.

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

Another great video, which is giving me the courage to do more self cutting and shaping if my beard, as opposed to going to a barber for help. I’m using you as my beard care guru, however, coincidentally, I have an appointment for haircut and light beard shaping this morning. I’ll be using your thoughts and suggestions as I try to explain to the barder what shape beard I am aiming for. Thanks again. Michael

[@kevjonah4283]

Awesome job👍🏻👍🏻..thanks Mr. Greg....love watching your videos!... learning from them.

[@zahirnawaz5210]

Thank you your the one person on KZbin that inspires me to re grow a beard Love your honesty and humbleness Love from a town called Bradford England 😘

[@BerzinskyRules]

That's very flattering---Thanks!

[@bigfootzen8948]

Thanks for this great tutorial. It helped take the stress out of starting to trim my own beard.

[@micahsnyder7299]

These are like the guy version of makeup tutorials and I love that

[@-veritas-]

K r e e The male version of makeup is facial hair.

[@mattbrashares6378]

Great video and very helpful. I am going to have to try that trick on softening the edges. I would be interested to see a video on beard scissors and what sets Beardbrands apart from others. Keep on growing!

[@BerzinskyRules]

Matt Brashares if you go to the beardbrand website there's a description of the scissors which is helpful which talks about the quality of Steel, Etc. They are also very comfortable to hold.

[@mattbrashares6378]

Greg Berzinsky just used the technique to soften the edges and it worked amazingly! It gives a much more finished appearance. Thank you!

[@Shahidkhan-qj5cy]

Damn Greg been lifting! All kinds of gainzz

[@BerzinskyRules]

[@timmyboswell1920]

Great videos I catch a lot of hell over my beard at work. Mostly because I look rather grizzly. My beard I sport now took about 16 weeks it grows rather quick. I do love how you make suggestions, and do's and don'ts, keep up the work and thank you.

[@akkuless]

Very good instructions! These days I avoid goin to a barber shop. Thank you!

[@robsosa9864]

Thank you Greg! Awesome bottom trim.

[@omaramat4813]

Great video, looking forward for the stache video for some time. Such a nice moustache on you Mr Berzinski!

[@BerzinskyRules]

#KeepOnGrowing

[@madelinebonner4962]

True,loving,kindness...

[@thewitchking24]

Your beard is magnificent, Greg! Well, my beard in not long enough yet, but I think I wold be very frustrating if I trim it when it is time to trim it in a pair of months more and do it incorrectly. Your explanation is clear and your technique looks easy, but I have not enough courage to do it by myself. Great channel! Ciao!

[@Beardbrand]

Baby steps man, that first cut is always the hardest. Watch the video as many times as you need, it'll be here when you're ready for that trim. -Josh

[@LittleFullLotaSap]

No! Don't go shorter! You have such a damn fine look and that beard just really works with it. You kind of look like a medieval king, the kind that's not afraid to pull out his sword and get into the fray with his men. My wife always hints on how she likes my beard shorter and pointy but I finally got it big and full so I gotta keep it this way for a while. Plus, I never tell her to dye her hair red so it seems like a fair trade :)

[@BerzinskyRules]

G C you know, that it's only hair, and that'll grow back. I look back at older pictures and do like when it was more of a 3-month beard.. by the way, your 6-month beard looks great especially with the shaved head.

[@LittleFullLotaSap]

Greg Berzinsky I used to think my hair would grow back, then it stopped. Now I wish I didn't cut that ponytail off. Of course it probably just would have fallen out like the rest of it did :) And thanks, I really liked my beard at the 10 month mark. That seemed to be when it was at its strongest and fullest, before the sides started to outgrow the chin and a fork started to form.

[@fatihkurt6640]

What do you use to keep them that straight? Or is that the type of your beard?

[@ttv-toushironishi3833]

Thanks for the info Greg Berzinsky its helping a lot.!!

[@brettmitchell8014]

This dude here is the Papa Smurf of beards!

[@legatus83]

awesome video's...keeps me so motivated ,especially through the fill in stages, i have always had a short beard but never had the will power to get it pass 8 weeks .but thanks to Gregs videos i am finally pushing through...:) even if the wife hates the stache ...lol

[@BerzinskyRules]

Thanks....try to keep the stache UP and SWEPT to the sides with wax....she might appreciated that.

[@legatus83]

I am struggling a bit with the stache because it isnt long enough to style but long enough that is is falling over the lip .what makes it harder is it grows straight down,i definitely will be looking into using a good wax to style it ,i've been using your "turn & pull" method with a brush to train it towards my cheek line and I am getting results ,i am just gonna keep at it....thanks again Greg for the awesome Videos .....Roshen from Durban ,South Africa

[@ronaldisenberg257]

amazing beard and video.cheers from Canada

[@BerzinskyRules]

Ronald Isenberg Thanks Canada.

[@theonlygoggin]

Greg Beardzinsky!!!

[@xbalraj]

Thanks for the tips, stopping and wearing the cut for a few days is sound advice.

[@ChaseWalling]

Greg, at what age did you begin getting gray hairs? I am 33 as of the 7th & I have gray in my beard, side burns, throughout my neck hair and the sides of my head. It's not completely gray, just spots here and there. Wondering how fast it comes on if you're going to end up mostly gray.

[@manuelfirpo]

The short beard looks great. You can pull a great beard stache if you went shorter.

[@BerzinskyRules]

Food for thought....

[@rickyslaven4936]

Love the video. It really helped me on my first self beard trim. Been growing for a full year and trimmed about 3 inches off.. Epic beard btw!

[@JoseValencia-fq6wt]

What beard products are you using?

[@julianblake8385]

He makes it look so easy, and no matter what I do, I always end up ruining my beard, and I have to go back to really short so it doesn't look weird. Damn!

[@johnkendrick6198]

Idk if this is a silly question if your trying to grow your beard I heard if you trim it. It supposed to make grow faster how's it supposed to grow if you are actually trimming it

[@comradeyars]

Your beard is magnificent, sir. Thanks for the video.

[@marcus1807]

Great video this guy is great thanks beardbrand

[@Beardbrand]

Happy to help out! -Josh

[@noahescamilla6675]

@beardbrand Did he put balm in his beard before he started cutting? He mentioned styling it before cutting but he didn't say if he put any product in it. Thank you.

[@kevinparker9848]

thanks greg, you are very helpful and even more awesome. you are the best at beardbrand. Again thanks again.

[@scrapydavis909]

Congratulations on the anniversary

[@jimmyhansen132]

I absolutely love the shape and Colour of your beard! 🤟❤️🤟

[@mariozivicky191]

The best video in this chanel for me 😇

[@RestlessSoul]

Hi Greg, Im probably about 3 months in to growing my first proper beard. I've always had facial hair, but usually kept clipped short. So at this three month stage I'm happy with the progress and getting used to the usual comments ;) I'm now at the stage I think of my first trim. My main question is the "neck beard" I know it needs to go, How far do I trim up? Love your videos, very well presented and what a fantastic beard!! Any advice would be much appreciated. Greetings fro the UK.

[@milton1448]

Thanks for everything Greg. Much appreciated.

[@hemangteotia6284]

As always Gerg looking fantastic. And BEARDBRAND T-Shirt is also good.

[@BerzinskyRules]

Hemang Teotia Yes...the Tees Rock.

[@gusthomas2423]

My beard is about 9" and I want to trim back to about 4". Would it work if I tied a ponytail with the hair I want cut below the tie, then use scissors to cut off the ponytail straight? Then tidy up strays with scissors?

[@michaelottesen6143]

Thank you for the video Mr. Berzinsky

[@joep.3034]

thank you for investing Greg!

[@torocortez5301]

Do you recommend the beard hot comb?

[@shilpanduttaZenLife]

Hell, I needed this.

[@BerzinskyRules]

shilpan dutta hope it helps.

[@stevekizewic9626]

Nicely done. I️ wish I️ had the balls to try that. I️ have a barber and only he cuts my beard. I️ love what u did. It’s squared off but not radical. Excellent job!!

[@djkirton1973]

Fantastic advice as always Greg, thank you!!! 👍🏻

[@Beardbrand]

We're always happy to help man! -Josh

[@indridcold1712]

This is the exact kind of video I want to see on this channel. Buuutttt this video made my hands sweat.

[@BerzinskyRules]

indrid cold it took me about 3 weeks to get the courage up to do it. I also only get one take. So we were all so frightened that we would mess up the film. In retrospect I should have worn a dark shirt.

[@franksantana9844]

Thanks for The finally good videos on KZbin

[@robertj2155]

Looks great thanks for this informative video !

[@dontmesswiththelopez]

Looks good, thanks for the tips. Congrats on the 25 yrs btw!

[@Pretzeliminator]

I'm almost ready to trim my first beard ever. I appreciate your advises. Thanks

[@pleroma5924]

I think the nice tight square or box beard is the best look

[@just_julian]

Looks good man

I subbed to your channel last night and you appeared in my subscriptions today. Although it's late, happy anniversary to you and the Mrs. Know I'm not going here as a joke or a slight of any sort but you could be Tom Fitton's brother. If you find time he's here on YT on Judicial Watch Channel. I may be way off, I don't know but had to mention it. Thanks for the vid, been growing a beard most of the winter and the tips you provide will be helpful knocking it back a bit.

[@Beardbrand]

Welcome to the channel! (I'm not Greg himself, but he does read the comments quite often so he may stop by for a reply in a future video) - Jack

[@marc_nerdypassion]

Excellent beard trim, and great tache. I need to trim but no sure what look to go with

[@Sealed_Chamber]

Father Time, is that you?

[@lukemarks7403]

I have about same size beard and I trim mine all the time like yourself but I struggle with my wavey curly beard. Looks good then next day it looks odd shape again. Any advice bro ?

[@blinkyourdead9963]

Such a great guy you are 👍😉

[@remorema]

Been trimming my own beard and growing it for a little while. Still a bit short but already a lot of work. Any way I can show you a pic and get some advice from you? Keep up the great videos

[@Beardbrand]

Feel free to send your pictures to [e-mail] You'll have the chance to have us take a look at your style during our Live Streams that we do every Tuesday at 3PM (eastern standard time) on this channel. - Jack

[@Bullets0fButter]

Great beard, I want mine like that haha. I'm not at a length for it to be trimmed yet, but you make it look so easy

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

My beard is about 10 inches long. I’ve been watching a lot of you’re videos. And I think I’m going to attempt to style it. Btw I tried the hair dryer trick worked wonders for me

[@narwhal7642]

Good video. I’d suggest a black shirt next time for contrast so viewers can see better.

[@jaykob2482]

Starting @ 8:57 How does cutting a series of small groups of hair in a straight line soften the initial blunt cut of the beard? I'm generally curious?

[@saaamaak]

It'd be interesting to see you trim your moustache. I liked your tip of working around unbalanced jawlines, I have an unbalanced upper lip as well. Please address that issue on your next one.

[@PEACEEASE108]

But what if u have a wavy beard?

[@microb4538]

hey Mr. Berzinsky what s the name of your shampoo and conditioner?

[@BerzinskyRules]

Nico Rob I use Beardbrand beard wash and conditioner every other day or every third day. Some days I just rinse my beard.

[@microb4538]

Greg Berzinsky thank you for your answer👍also for your hair what do you use?

[@BerzinskyRules]

Nico Rob LorealTotal Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo. No conditioner. I shampoo every other day

[@benjamindavis5194]

Great video...great trim,nice look !!

[@Beardbrand]

Glad you liked it! Greg did a great job on this trim! - Jack

[@zares_fnx]

And what about this technique at 8:58, if someone has a wavy-curly beard - will it work or ruin the beard? Trimming straight hair is so easy, wish I had it straight.

[@Beardbrand]

Yeah, it can still work with a curly beard. Just keep in mind not to pull it too much, so you can still monitor and make an educated guess about how long it'll be after you make the cut. -Josh

[@fearthebeard6319]

Nice trim Greg, stay bearded my friend.

[@BerzinskyRules]

Fear The Beard thanks!

[@jamesedwardh]

So skillful! Impressive!

[@ilfusarrista1943]

I envy so much people with straight hair and beards. My beard is dry and tends to be curly, it's really hard to shape. Do you know any tutorial on how to cut it?
