My Beard Journey, Growing a Yeard, Then Trimming It Down

[@AlexanderCrump]

Your beard is fantastic, Joe. You've got terrific density and color variation for an excellent looking woolly beard. 10 months in is your sweet spot.

[@akul_cicajlkrb]

The God of Beards has given you the best genes for thickness

[@AC-130....]

Damnn the thickness is crazyy

[@martinwesterlund957]

First time watching your videos I like them a lot. I’m a first time beard grower since no-shave November so I’m 2 months into my beard. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and give me some tips and ideas as a new beard grower,I know all about the awkward beard growing stage. Can’t wait to watch more of the videos.

[@abhijoshi2328]

Random. But how’s it going? Did you ever shave since?

[@ColeMatthewsOfficial]

One of the coolest beards I’ve ever seen. Keep on growing.

[@Animotionv]

that ice on the beard is badass man

[@wolterrutgers372]

You have an extraordinarily beautiful beard, fantastic beautiful color shades, it is one of the most beautiful beards I have ever seen in my life. I am in my sixth month growing my beard and I really enjoy the beard journey.

[@GreySquirrelly1016]

7:34 On the whole, AMAZING JOURNEY. Looks like you just tumbled out of the forest there! Lol looks great man! I’m on my own Yeard Journey too. I’ve got a curly beard too, and I’ve found a Paul Mitchell Detangler comb has really helped. Doesn’t pull AT ALL on hair, even safe to use on wet hair as there is ZERO resistance. Wet hair is more vulnerable so a large tooth comb is best. This one just makes it really nice.

[@JoeMcCoskey]

A large tooth comb or pick is the way to go.

[@mikebordeaux8218]

Nice beard journey. I’m on my 6th month and plan on going for maximum length.

[@JoeMcCoskey]

Six months on is when you really start to notice the length.

[@aloisys.2257]

definitely keep your beard longer brother, beast mode! respect

[@pedrosikes]

Joe, I also have a curly coats beard,I find using a hair dryer (low heat) is a absolute game changer. I when from a 2 inch unruly beard to a 6 inch well maintained beard. Try It, good luck.

[@noglobe4105]

Keep rocking it! Great beard brother!

[@noglobe4105]

Should've also commented on the way you explained things in your video...great job! Helped me..I'm 1 month in on my first time beard. I'm 50 years old and like you i shaved once a week most of my life and have similar facial hair as far as curling. I'm definitely going for the yeard! Thanks for taking the time to make video!

[@MrJamiez]

Awesome beard, my bearded brother!

[@zy8235]

The beard suits you brother, I’m on my 7th month currently and am seeing big changes now

[@martinlaird4738]

Fantastic vid man! I’d recommend you use a round brush to reduce the Wave under your chin, mine does the same and when I use the round brush it looks so much better!

[@parasteve360]

Dude you should stay with the 10 month beard it looks amazing

[@nikls5343]

Crazy density, crazy steady growth. What a beard

[@AttackWithStyle]

I can't believe you trimmed it , it looked awesome

[@ckneasel]

Strong beard man, colors look good too...

[@Jay-sd9ye]

I like how your beard colors are. Wish I had blonde stash and under lip. Bad ass.

[@johnnytaylor1243]

Dude your beard is insane!!

[@aramis661]

Hi, Thank you for your video. I find that the longer beard is much better. As the 10 minutes of your video is great :-)

[@cowboykent9091]

YOU LOOK TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE!

[@TopM48]

Interesting video to see your progress, I think the length you have now looks good or maybe a little longer. I've just hit 3 months and had my neck lined brought up and a bit of length taken from underneath to let the chin grow as it seems to be alot slower, was looking like yours in your 2 month photo and was really bugging me

[@rbg2819]

No trimming, just grow it out, keep it clean, this is Mans divine & natural badge & trademark.

[@ttime5756]

Best beard I’ve ever seen at a year! Nice

[@Baqsam]

I honestly expected a Norwegian accent or something! _Diggin' your refreshingly chill-ass personality too!_

[@jeffbanks6042]

Cool video man, i was 34 when i grew my first beard. Im 36 now and am working on my first yeard currently at 5 and a half months. Mine is super curly and its a pain sometimes but I’m going to make the yeard. Great beard man!

[@Steve-hp8tm]

Started as uaual middle of oct 15 2018 an always shave end of winter but after coming across these videos im going for the yeard also oct 15 2019.

[@Steve-hp8tm]

That pic of me is 3 yrs old i didnt load a current. If looking at.

[@robertcutter7956]

I'm on day 3 of 365 of my yeard. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@JoeMcCoskey]

It will be a rewarding journey.

[@Jspec03]

How’s the journey, man?

[@hankbluebullr4661]

@Robert Cutter how is it going?

[@delvis7842]

I just shaved today to start mine for the first time for a full yeard!

[@TheSami92a]

Awesome colours on the beard, whats the color of your headhair?

[@JoeMcCoskey]

My head hair is a brownish color. Although, I’m balding, so I now keep it short. My beard has a different color range / more red and blond hair than my head.

[@sohailgani35]

Great benefit for growing thick beard is your face wrinkles double chin is covered. Every day when you shave your skin becomes very hard when you stop shaving skin becomes softer. When I used to shave my age looked older now I have grown thicker beard people judge my age far more younger than my actual age that’s because double chin and other lines are covered with thick beard

[@NickLarsen1991]

This is too funny! 😂 why is it lookin like you tongue pushing your under lip forward? 🤪

[@ram-jj6oq]

My yeard journey Thumbnail is awesome 🙂

[@tonyalmeida1746]

I month in, liking the black and gray. Had 1st line-up. 1st time letting it grow out to 6 inches. Used beard oil 0 itch.

[@PostalReptiles]

Beautiful yeard. I grew my first yeard, I'm at 14 months right now but my wife is over it so I'll be shaving soon lol. Great video

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

Great beard! Looks like you might be pressing too hard when combing/brushing though, which causes that dip underneath your chin. Try to go straight down when combing instead of pressing in underneath your chin. I have to remind myself of the same thing. You can also fix this with a heated brush. Like i said though, great beard!

[@dufusboy93]

This is actually really helpful

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

Haha That's what's great about being an Italian American His month beard is my 1.5 week beard no joke. It's great incase of mistakes. Btw you have am amazing beard dude so dense and yeah that awkward stage is what made me trim a few inches off last month and I'm regretting the fuck out of it by December 1st I'll be back to where it was BUT if I never cut it I'd be that much ahead after 30 years of growing and shaving beards one would think by now I'd be able to resist the urge but one stressful day trimmed with shakey hands and I'm still paying the price.

[@dyloooo5731]

It’s game on 😂😂😂😂

[@4TwEnti-]

Im Fresh 26 and a bit over 2 months in... but mine is rly thin. Want to do a simular video like this when im done with it

[@b.o2221]

2:14 exactly! That awkward phase is a struggle

[@michaelmcdonnell5998]

Great moustache too!

[@federicocarnebale]

Bro has the fullest beard ever

I am on month 5/6 of my yeard.

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

10 or 11th month with some heat on the sides. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@beardedbutcher5333]

I seen you in a few insurance commercials

[@JoeMcCoskey]

I could fill in for a Geico caveman

[@beardedbutcher5333]

@@JoeMcCoskey haha the resemblance is crazy !

[@Return_of_the_Dude]

You have any plans to part a sea now that you have the look.

[@JoeMcCoskey]

That would be awesome if I could do that.

[@shahino4426]

Did you trim the mustache in that time?

[@JoeMcCoskey]

Yes, that's the one thing I did trim. I couldn't stand it curling into my mouth.

[@1978JK]

Why does everyone keep referring to this as a journey? Your not Frodo traversing middle earth. Your growing a damn beard.

[@elgenfranord1651]

Frodo no he looks like Gandalv

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

Nah-at the one year point he was more like Gimli. Would just need a bit more length, and a battle axe.

[@markimmenschuh5389]

Hope my gf doesn't try growing a yeard! 😅

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

LOL!!🤔🤣

[@TheArkansasBushcrafter]

Great video

[@lukepodmore7810]

Mate who cut ur beard ? Makes you look like you have a huge double chin , u had a great years definitely should grow the chin area back in

[@JoeMcCoskey]

I cut it. I wouldn’t say I had much trimming experience at the time. The hairs on my chin tend to want to curl under. I found that on my beard I need to leave it a little longer and fuller than what I cut it to. The beard has grown back in but it’s a balancing act between having enough to fill in the waves of the beard and not being out of control.

[@lukepodmore7810]

Joe McCoskey 😆 ok bud 👍🏻 the beard suits you well , like the square cut you showed.

[@jacobmenard1980]

Damn haha, you have like a perfect beard.

[@fors350]

You grow a awesome beard

[@radioactive8245]

It looks better when it was longer.

[@AMERICAFIRST54]

Man I hate shaving

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

Yeah-i second that brother. I finally gave up, and am on month 4 of a possible yeard-if I don't find it too bothersome.

[@ancientfalmer4341]

Would look great w a nice viking style braid

[@thegunfight3r415]

Yeah grew very well but how did you menage to grow every color of hair known to men 🤣 Looks cool

[@ernestoarroliga3617]

HOMER SIMPSON

[@travismiller170]

Hope I don’t become so femme about my beard, product this and product that.

[@JoeMcCoskey]

I wouldn’t say taking care of your beard is femme. If someone has a short beard, they most likely won’t have to worry about using any products. Just like with long hair, long beards will need maintenance and the use of some products to keep it healthy and combable. If someone has a beard that doesn’t need any maintenance, then that’s great but that’s definitely not me. I also wouldn’t say that taking care of yourself in general is femme either. Everyone should be taking showers and putting on deodorant. I will say that I have found soaps, deodorant and beard products that I prefer more than others.

[@travismiller170]

​@@JoeMcCoskey I think everyone would agree about cleanliness and basic upkeep. I guess i just have a more traditional view of things, when it comes to styling and product use. I appreciate your rebuttal and non-hateful reply.

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

@@JoeMcCoskey Showers-yes. Beard products for a long, gnarly beard-probably. Deodorant--never!! How far must our vanity go?? That shit isn't even healthy with all the crap they put in it. Likely blocks your pores too. Your beard looks good btw, but looked even better at mountain man length imo. At month four on mine--I just can't get into regular shaving.
