And here's me hating having to shave my entire life.

[@paulobumaye]

gaaaaaaay dude

[@underratedcritic1983]

Men who can't grow a beard have to shave more often because our facial hair is patchy, thin, uneven, etc. And it grows just as fast as on a hairy guy.

[@erikheijden9828]

​@@underratedcritic1983Same as men with thinning hair have to go to the barber more often.

[@familyfirst7027]

It's your more personal videos that show us what a well rounded, grounded and confident man you are. Well done!

thanks mate

[@gsmith1418]

I’m 36 and your beard in 6 months looks better than the one I’ve been growing my whole life. Just remember there is no such thing as the perfect beard, you have your beard. Well done Nick

[@tremblingnoobs5149]

Thanks for this very pesonal video Nick. It can be tough to make videos about other things and have people watch them, especially something like this, but you made it interesting nontheless. Looking good man

[@jerryfoster708]

Well done Nick. I'm sure it will grow back quickly.

[@GreenHawkConstructionltd]

Good for you nick after seeing you the other week the beard is looking great mate 👍

[@fluff4115]

Well done my friend for doing something that's going to make you happy - That's a great beard!

[@clintoncoffill]

Great video mate what a journey

[@bikeriderful]

Great video my dude, thanks for sharing! I think your Beard looks amazing just have some more patience, I just got my beard transplant 2 days ago here in Chicago and I can't wait to see the results in 6 months

[@peteryates308]

I'm a new subscriber and didn't know until your recent video that you'd had it done - I'd never have guessed. Would recommend looking at a Wahl Super Taper. Heavy and mains powered, but never misses a beat.

[@jonfenwick6200]

Recently subbed to you pal. Really like the vids, but, I really like your honesty, and this vid is a huge prime example of just how honest you are. Totally with you there on the daily beard touching! Ha, I'm just the same. Always had a beard since I could grow one, admittedly that wasn't until I was like 25, but always wanted to shave it off like this, I just know I'd regret it. This video confirms that theory for me. Ha. Beard looks fine to me. Plus I didn't know you had had this treatment done. So that's something, I guess. Cya

[@TheRealBobHickman]

Looking great mate. I think you've got a bit of Hemsworth going on there. I wasn't ever able to grow mine with any decent thickness and it's all grey now, so I just let it grow for a few weeks and trim it back.

[@tanner93yess]

“No we can’t do that” 😂 made me laugh dude! I recently shaved my beard off for good reasons and now I the process of growing it back! Worst part of being a sparky trying to grow a beard is how customers can take you(me) seriously with patchy awful beard growth 😂 it does fill in I swear lol

[@ashleyhorgan105]

When you putting another video up of your beard? I had mine done 3 months ago. Want to see what 12 months looks like. 🎉

[@feelingtardy]

wow, i don't believe i've ever though about my beard. i was shaving regularly around 15 or so and grew it out for the first time at 16. grew a seasonal beard throughout college until my girlfriend told me to keep it in my 20's. 47 now and just take it for granted. Edit: sorry, forgot to get to the point. it looks good on your, glad you're happy with it

[@ethanparker5082]

Good job, I grew my beard out for a little while and interacted with let's say 50 people face to face a day and felt self conscious especially through the first two months but you've done it for nearly 100k subscribers and however many more watch your videos. Good job. This isn't a critisicm but do you find one cheek line (your left) is a bit lower then the other side? Maybe it's just the camera angles, beard colour or face shape - just seems to be a bit lower on one side.

[@effervescence5664]

Honestly I've been waiting for this video, I'm a few years older than you, slightly shorter than you and people still think I'm 18 on site even though I've been in the industry near on 20 years. It's annoying as anything and the majority of it is down to basically having hardly any facial hair growth I just look the same as I did when I was 16. Looks brilliant and I'm definitely going to ask them/ a place nearer about having mine done.

[@pondwithducks3092]

dude you actually looked really good with the stubble after you shaved it. I'm glad to see it can look so natural even if you do decide to trim it short, as that's one of the things that's been worrying me the most.

[@ollydearden]

Looks great Nick.

[@sshaw37]

I struggled to get a beard. A vague bit of stubble throughout my 20s and when I hit thirty I could just about have some sideburns. 30 years later i have a reasonable beard (although it’s now grey). Not sure I’d have been brave enough to do what you did nick but FairPlay. I’m sure as you get older it will only get better. Must admit I still love the sideburn which I’ve now had since about the year 2001.

[@4G1O4]

Looks awesome man!

[@daiseyjen]

Oww Nick!!! This is the time you need to grow it thick for winter lol numpty. Always said good for you and everyone should do what makes them happy and gives them the confidence and be comfortable in themselves.

[@phillipgwynne6580]

These decisions, you may regret and then a few weeks later, be glad, basically your mood can change day to day, like different styles, or completely shaved. But you now have the option to make these choices. You are still you, a good honest hard worker, which is why we all enjoy watching your channel, and I can’t believe you haven’t hit 100k subscribers ages ago as you upload regularly, and you (and also Adam), are always entertaining to watch, but you also have some good serious topics to bring up about the industry. Anyone reading who’s not subscribed, do it. Nick really puts in the work to make good KZbin content, I can honestly say he deserves to do well.

[@NBundyElectrical]

Appreciate cheers dude

[@MuhammadVilchez]

Good for you mate! 👍🏻

[@davetay44]

Manscaped sponsor incoming. Amazing progress mate and well worth doing! I, thankfully, can grow a full beard but if I was in your situation I absolutely would've done it too. Glad you're happy with it

[@davidad86]

My beard only really came through when I got into my 30s. Every time I shave it off I regret it but it comes back a little thicker each time. I’m always touching my beard think it’s a comfort thing. Just remember didn’t matter what other people say or think as long as your happy 😊

[@pete76uk]

I'm 47 and I still can't grow a beard and I'd love one. I drove past a school kid today sporting a full Gandalf and it ticked me off

[@emello4you]

You should look at pictures of Chevy Chase. 80 and still can't grow one.

[@user-ic8cc6of3z]

Did you have to wait that long for the PRP injection or would you be able to get the PRP done earlier to progress quicker?

[@williamarmstrong7199]

I have to admit to thinking WTF to start with but yes it looks good. I can understand now your reasons and agree it looks good.

[@M0PAX]

I like the shocked look when you sit back down, oh shit I look like a 12 year old again😂 my boys are the same when they shave off the beard. Great video as usual

[@smyth602]

So many bits of this video resonated with me. I have a full beard that I grew without a transplant, but dear lord it was a labour of love. Like you, i was a late bloomer, and it took pretty much until my early 30s before i could grow any halfway decent facial hair. Even then, it grew in patches, all at different rates, and i had to keep trimming back to even out the length, etc. It took 2 years for me to get to your 6 month stage. 7 years later, i have a respectable beard that gets compliments but every day i look in the mirror and see the thin areas and uneven sections. It takes a lot of effort to remind myself that nobody else sees that. Good on you for seeing it through, and if i walked past you in the street, I'd never suspect for a second it was a transplant. Do what makes you happy and bugger whatever anyone else thinks!

[@Rlima0]

Cool! How many grafts were used?

[@JackobobMC]

you look good with a shaven shadow, must definitely feel better to trim and it be consistent throughout than patchy.

[@ColinRichardson]

I had to shave this morning as my beard grows nicely all over, except the bit just below where your jaw goes upwards... At those points on either side, it grows super fast and just looks weird.. And because it grows unnaturally fast compared to the rest of it, it looks like I've done it intentionally.. Trust me, I did not.. It looks like I tried to grow a Fu Manchu Mustache but on my jaw....

[@utilitarian]

I’m with you Nick. A beard is something that some are not bothered about it. Others do. I’m In the latter biut it’s pointless as my hair and beard is completely grey. I’m 38. Fair play for sharing this with us - it takes confidence!!!

[@TomPriceRS]

Get yourself a boar bristle brush, i also use reuzel beard foam daily, softens the hairs and the brush feels nice 🙂 youre right about constantly touching it too, ive had a beard for about the last 10 years and I still cant leave it alone 😅

[@dann_2016]

How often did you use minoxidil? And how many months you need to use it?

[@Dnb3125]

Hi nick. Can you add the link to the hair clinic where you had your treatment please. Thank you

[@harrysmith5353]

How’s the scars on the back healing. Is it visible just had mine down on the front of my head.

[@theowebsterelectricalservices]

😂 nick Everyman ever who has grown their beard out and then shaved it off has felt what you felt 😂😂 WHY did I shave it off ! 😂😂. Well done mate , what a success !

[@leedennisjohnharris8910]

I went clean shaven after having a full on beard soon as I done it I was like wtf have I done now I'm back to full beard

[@paulrattray8121]

After an accident when I was 20, I had to stop shaving for a few weeks while I healed. I realised I was saving 5 mins a day, didn't miss the stubble, and was saving a bit of money. I haven't shaved since. I'm 56 now.

[@murmaiderman]

Every time I shave my beard, I think "why did I shave it?" Its not just you man haha

[@Medomsley]

Yes, shame you took the beard off Nick, it was growing out really well, so get it going again!

[@cedricrust9953]

Are you using minoxidil and/or are you mixorneedling? :)

[@billsbasementworkshop1902]

Thanks for the video. Very interesting. Got a new kitten, has something happened to pretzel?

[@andljoy]

I think it looks good, good for you mate. I wonder if you could answer a question. Facial hair is usually different than hair on your head, its more like hair in your private parts where hair is stiffer and more course. Does your beard feel like a natural one or more like head hair ?

[@NBundyElectrical]

It’s gross course mate like facial hair after the shedding phase 👍

[@andljoy]

@@NBundyElectrical Nice ! Glad it worked out well for ya.

[@dunnodunnich8689]

Why did they put you on finasteride? hair on head falls from dht while beard actually grows from dht, that makes no sense that they would put you on fin. Can someone explain this pls?

[@paultipton743]

I have tried just letting the stubble grow but end up shaving it off before a beard comes through as my face gets irritated with red blotches and starts bleeding

[@callyk5678]

A beard transplant is the most electrician thing I’ve ever heard off 😂

[@mikehealy74]

I guess I'm lucky in some ways, but not others - I've always had a 5 o'clock shadow by about bloody 11am, and my beard is now almost at my navel - however my head hair decided to fuck off a couple of years ago (hence growing the beard - i looked odd with no hair at all on my head or face!!). I can't say that I, even if it were free would bother with a head hair transplant - that's just not me. However, if it has made you happier, then good for you - and I'm glad that the hard work of sparking & youtubing has allowed you to do so. To quote a song by a band I like "Fuck the Haters."

[@dimitrimichaux461]

I wonder if it feel like facial hair or does it feel more like regular hair? The hairs from my beard are a bit thicker than the hairs on my head (that onces I still have 😂). Not that it really matters for the look, because your beard looked good.

[@paulrattray8121]

Welcome to a whole new experience of "oh my face feels cold now". Enjoy playing with it, shaping it, ignoring it. You'll find a style you like soon enough 😊

[@carlosswiftdev2703]

You should have tried using minoxidil first. I improved my beard ten fold using it. I haven't used it for well over 2 years now and my gains are still here.

[@ckemimire3657]

For anyone that is tempted to do this pls READ. Before you get this procedure done make sure you try and watch photos of how your beard pattern should look and draw it on your face multiple times before the surgery as the guy in the video has the line way too low on the cheek and the sideburns way thinner. Your sideburns should continue as your hair pattern not thiner or thicker. Also the moustache has corners that usually not super sharp and the cheek line should be on the corner of the moustache or higher but never lower. The guy in the video should’ve filled up the moustache so it went higher and looked thicker and increased the cheek line. Also try if you want a beard very bad but are not gonna get it done for the next 5-6 months I suggest trying minoxidil it’s cheap and will most likely give you a full beard and if it doesn’t it’s worth trying as you can find out if you can have a beard with 100 bucks or pay thousands.

[@rainbow20112011]

The title is misleading...I thought you meant that you "regretted your decision in getting a beard transplant done".

[@codenamenel]

Its gonna itch like mad growing back, I havent shaved my face bald for years but had to a while back for a face mask fitting in work, oh my days after a week I nearly scratched my face off, then after about 3 weeks it stopped all of a sudden and been fine since

[@cputilitysolutions]

Beard or clean both suit you mate, now you can actually choose what you prefer 👌🏾

[@DE-eVOLVED]

i am nearly 43 and can grow a goatee although its not perfect it does grow and looks ok-ish ...i can grow patchy side burns although its not thick at all and for some reason the left side grows better than the right side ...but barely have any beard growth what so ever on either of my cheeks... I'd love to have a cross between Charlie Hannon , Kurt Cobain and Brad Pitt beard ...but dont think that will EVER happen 🤔😥. . I tried minoxadil for a year (that helped my goatee join up at the sides... But after seeing whats possible and your progress so far I am interested in this treatment as I dont want to go down the testosterone path... Can I ask ..?.. How much did it cost you ? ...and would you go back and do a second course of treatment to further thicken it up or are you more than happy with the facial hair that youve gained thus far ...very interested. Ps just subscribed 👍👍 Thankyou , great vids 👌

So you have to take medication for the rest of your life because you had the beard transplant? Realised that my comment might come across as judgmental, I didn't intend it to. Asking as I might consider getting a hair transplant in future to sort out my hairline but probably wouldn't bother if I also had to take medication for the rest of my life.

[@jbsimmons54]

In beard groups, clubs, and contests, we say that if you paid all that money to have a beard transplant the one thing you *_don't_* do is shave it off! Need to do like the rest of do - grow a "yeard". That's right, no touching it for at least 12 months to see the full effects. Then you can go to a men's barber shop and get it trimmed and styled.

[@Pabz2030]

IMPORTANT: Women, especially those who are or may become pregnant should not touch broken or crushed finasteride tablets. Touching broken or crushed finasteride tablets may harm the fetus. If a woman who is pregnant or who could become pregnant touches broken or crushed finasteride tablets, she should wash the area with soap and water immediately and call her doctor. DO NOT LET YOUR PARTNER HANDLE THEM IN ANY WAY EVER

[@UnimportantAcc]

Interesting, do you know why exactly that is? Just curious

[@Pabz2030]

@@UnimportantAccIt interfers with the normal Testosterone pathway (Technically it's a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor). Which for a fetus in vitro is really bad and can cause all sorts of malformities (Females have testosterone too). And since it can pass through the blood supply across the placenta the fetus can take it up. It's also bad for children to be exposed to this so anyone who is pre-puberty should also stay clear. Basically, it inhibits certain male pattern hormone development... Also, it has the potential to continue to do so even after ceasing medication.

[@harryjennings729]

Do more research on finasteride mate. Look up post finasteride syndrome. I would drop it immediately, DHT should thicken the beard but would potentially speed up balding on your head if it runs in the family so in your case it shouldn’t be needed to be blocked or shut down. Blocking DHT would not be good long term for your well being mate.

[@gingerelvis]

I don't think I would consider going through the pain an expense personally. Yes I have a beard and have had facial hair of some kind ever I could grow it in my teens (only now in my early thirties has the moustache bulked up!), but it's a pain in the arse to maintain! A well kept big beard is more effort than clean shaven. With a trim I now look like a shit Ed Sheran 😂 I don't know what my point is here but we are all different and embrace it! That said if it makes you more comfortable in yourself then that's good.

[@markingle8487]

Personally I prefer the look of it shaved off, but it did look very scruffy, so I'll reserve judgement - one can't make a proper comparison until its regrown and has been tidied up.

Finasteride is going to hurt the beard growth long run. But you’ll keep the hair on your head.
