CLEAN SHAVEN ALL THE WAY!!!!

[@danielmcintyre5802]

When I was younger and in College I was clean shaven. As I aged and got more comfortable in my career I grew my beard. I also grew my hair and pulled it back in a ponytail. When I changed jobs I cut my hair and beard. But then the Van Dyke came back. The longer hair just didn't make it for me. Back then the wife didn't care for the beard. Today I still have the Van Dyke however I use my beard trimmer to leave stubble on the rest of the face. I trim up everything once a week. In my 40's when I was cleaned shaven I didn't care for it. I lost my chin and jaw line. So the Van Dyke is with me until the end.

Absolutely . Being bold one needs facial hare not to look glossy and cold like a reptile. There is warmth to hair that we need to have. I'm bold too. Even a goatee is too little hair for me to have that warmth.

Being clean shaven or maintained short stubble is a great way to stand out with confidence, especially if you have a sharp jaw line and strong chin. I work in a very professional office, and almost every single guy has a beard. In this post pandemic world, being clean shaven is the definitely the way to stand out, and also having a beard doesn't make you 'manlier'. It's all what makes you comfortable

Team beard here! I didn't think it would look good but I did a yeard and I get compliments all the time, mine curls like a Greek god. Grow the beard don't touch it and power through it and let it flow!

[@sonny5087]

I love having a beard. I'm quite skinny and a beard helps to fill out both my face and my neck. I also have a strong jawline so the beard helps soften my face a little bit. That said-I do prefer a nice wet shave over beard maintenance. I'm a pretty stoic guy so people tend to assume I'm more aggressive when I have my beard. A clean shave also looks more kept-together than a beard.

[@MoviesTubeYou0675]

I was in the military and yes, I understand that we had to be clean shaven and grow a mustache within regulation. So since being honorably discharged over 20 years ago, I started to grow out my facial hair in my early 40s. In my late 20s and throughout my 30s I couldn’t grow out my beard due to a lot of patches. So by the time I got to my early 40s, I gave it a try and the patches are less and I feel like I rock facial hair a lot better than in my 20s and 30s. And to provide maintenance to my facial hair is just as important to providing maintenance to head hair. So yeah, even though this video was made nearly 2 years ago, and if you haven’t done so, then I highly recommend you give it that initial month and grow out your facial hair.

I grew my first beard over the last few months. My wife and kids have told me they never want me to take it off. I take as much time to groom the beard as I did shaving. I started a new job this summer and I shaved the beard down to just about nothing. My boss was actually a little upset that I took it off. I have had more comments and compliments on my look now than I ever have in my life. So, as long as you are clean and it shows through your appearance, it is a good thing. I am going for the Santa Claus look this year and have a fan club now.

[@tiifupridelands2519]

Growing a beard is like shaving yourself bald... you just dont know if it works unless you do it. Even if its just for a while. Shaking things up to such degree against normal conventions is a very good moment for personal growth.

[@---vj9kc]

I started growing my beard 2 months ago after not having a beard for 15 years and I am very happy with it. I also have noticed many more guys in my area with beards since the pandemic has progressed. I feel alot more confident and comfortable now, and now that it's November I can put together nice outfits that compliment my bearded appearance. and my girlfriend loves it as well. So whats NOT to like ! : )

[@benjaminsmith9823]

Antonio, you sound just like me before I started listening to these beard guys. I didn’t like my patchy beard one bit but after using a good oil and resisting clipping on it for a while I love my beard now. For me, it’s a similar amount of care as shaving but I feel like a different person now. More chill and confident.

Beards in general arent a thing most women go for. ask any women on the street. Nowadays they will directly tell you that they either “dont mind it” or not prefer it entirely. the only sorts of people who do like it are men. i dont blame you guys for liking it it sometimes looks cool but that alone it isnt gonna get you ladies or in this case give you more chances of getting them. when females look at you the first thing theyd notice is facial features. then everything else comes after. what kind of female blushes over someones beard? they mainly if not all go/prefer jawlines. Look all over tik tok twitter and most male models. they either have no beard of Shaved ones. but anyone reading this rn if you dont have a good jawline most definitely get a beard

[@shuyaku99]

​@@zereth2792 Fully agreed. I think most guys who are interested in big bushy beards are trying to cover up their weak jaws, which there's nothing wrong with ofc, but most women would 100% prefer good facial structure over a nice beard. One key point i'm highly against Eric on, is that you should grow your beard even if it's patchy/scraggly. You'll just look like shit.

[@alextaylor29]

Here's my take: - Clean shaven: You appear more trustworthy, younger, cleaner, more conservative. - Bearded: You appear more masculine, dangerous & aggressive. I have sometimes rock the, "5 O'clock shadow" that is a nice in-between that seems to strike a balance. My $.02.

[@simonvallee718]

I don't need a beard to assert my masculinity ! I shave it clean every 2 or 3 days. I have other things to do than caring about my facial hair and to maintain it and to wash it. So for those who think they are more man because of your beautiful beard, good for you !

[@05carsm]

As a lawyer, beard helps, it gives you an edge when you are young and they don't trust you because you are young, it gives you experience points

[@luisdelgado652]

I agree with Eric. I started growing a beard a month ago after shaving for 45 years. I love having not to shave and girls love the salt and pepper.

[@mikebennett146]

Based on my own experience of being clean shaven and having a short beard ( 1 inch or less ), I do think it's more upkeep & maintenance having a short beard, even if one only trims/perfects it once a week or two. This is because of all the in-between time of regular daily 'inspection' and self-consciousness of getting any food particles in it and maybe being unaware of it while being out. I consider all this a form of maintenance. Shaving for me is no-nonsense, very quick, usually just one pass, sometimes two, and only done every 3 or 4 days or weekly. I don't fuss around with special shaving supplies and just use cheap Bic single-blade cartridge razors and either a decent shave foam (Gillette/Barbasol) spread by hands or Palmolive shave stick soap with a brush. I always get a fantastic shave with these ultra-budget supplies. I love being a frugal shaver I get a kick out of it. Once in a while I grow out the beard for a couple weeks with the intent of growing it out for much longer than that, only to always find myself shaving it off again at roughly the 2 week mark, primarily due to it making my facial complexion appear so much darker which I don't really like. I have very pale white skin and dark dirty blonde facial hair. But on my face the hair may as well be dark brown because I'm so pale. 50% Welsh 50% Swedish genes. I think my favorite look is short stubble ranging between the 5 to 10 day mark.

[@cfajohnson5207]

At 71yo, I'm told I look several years younger than that. I have a full beard; I haven't shaved since 1988. I spend almost no time looking after it other than washing it when I wash my hair, and trimming it every once in a while when it starts to look scraggly.

[@chrisnunns]

Having had a beard for seven years and being a member of the British Beard Club (of which I’ve met some amazing people) for four years I am now bearded for life. I wear tweed waistcoats, jackets with jeans and a bowler or a top hat which I never wore when I was clean shaven. So I think that my style has also improved and I never got photographed in the street before and now I do plus I do so male modelling! So for me the beard wins and is a keeper. But everyone to their own

Beards all the way man! When I was in my early 20s, I was in a job where I needed to train new starters quite often. Some of these people were over twice my age, sometimes with more experience in the field but unfamiliar with our practices and protocols. I originally started growing my beard as this made me look older and gave me more authority - baby face problems! In every job since, I have had to train my peers and the beard is something that I believe makes a difference. Also makes a difference when talking to new colleagues in other teams I believe. Now in my 30s with 4 year old, and I've kept the beard permanently (almost) since he was born. I shaved last year for Movember (No-shave November), and my son's reaction was hilarious! I still have the baby face, with some added wrinkles. Going to keep the beard, probably for the rest of my life. This was my experience though, in the UK. As a brown, bearded dude, I am fairly certain some people are wary of me, but you know what - screw them!

[@FrankMelanio]

you just look like a kid with a beard, people are not blind.😂

[@zachvanslyke4341]

I’m 52 and have tried all facial hair styles. A short beard takes the least maintenance and looks great most of the time. Long beards take a lot of maintenance at times, and it gets time consuming when you have to comb it every day before leaving the house, but provide the most protection from the sun and the cold. Stubble is cool with low maintenance time, but some chics hate the burn and it can look lazy at certain times. Clean shaven takes a bit of time every day, but is always acceptable and classy, and can make you look the youngest possible as you get older. If your jawline is good, go with clean shaven, stubble or short beard. Weak jawline or double chin, go with medium full beard with low neckline. Outdoors a lot and single, solitary type guy? Let it grow super long My personal fave was the short beard in my 30s, but as the gray comes in I prefer clean shaven. Cheers

Shaving your face makes as little sense as shaving your eyebrows. But that was a great conversation!

I like erics beard. I have a face and beard wash. When I grow one I'm using beard wash. And some sideburns. And my hair grows it out, more

[@ReggieAlexander]

I’m 100% Team Beard and here’s why. Round one: I was in the military for 29 years and as soon as I got out I grew my beard however I don’t let my hair on top get too long. 🤨 Shaving become a chore where a beard became just like jewelry or a hairstyle. It’s an accessory. Round two: I am now in a leadership position in a corporate environment and a well-maintained beard shows that you care where a wild or unruly beard may portray that you are more concerned with being unique. Round three: Once I grew my beard out, my wife will not let me shave it off. Round four: shaving takes more time as this is a daily requirement where good beard maintenance can be once a week or less depending on the style and level of manscaping. Last notes, A face with no hair is just your face but a face with hair is like a canvas that you can design a work of art of your own. Round five: all of the comments on the beard heroes in movie icons were spot on. In the past a clean shaven face was the thing. Now a beard rocks it! Round six: in the past hygiene was not an easy thing to maintain. Now there are more soaps and body cleansers than you could ever count with all of your fingers toes your neighbors fingers and toes. Round seven: growing a beard is not an easy thing to do. Some have problems with razor bumps and itchy and others can’t shave because of serious skin irritation. Final thought: Antonio, give it a try. Fight through that 1st tough week and see how it’s received. I bet you’ll be surprised. 😳

[@NodakKid83]

Eric with the win in my opinion.

[@Wizastudios]

As a beard person I can say that for men the beard is a win. I feel there is a cultural stigma against beards in this country. I get so many questions and conversation starters about my beard. Women get curious about me without a beard but many of the woman I’ve dated loved the beard. It’s a unique quality in man that exudes masculinity which’s draws an appeal Personally the last time I shaved to the skin was around 2013. It felt unnatural to my because of my face shape. Having a rounded face and no hair on my head made me look like a large baby. To this day I’ve kept facial hair as a lifestyle choice. I’ve seen YT videos in reviews of beard products. It took a long time to discover beard balm works best for me to keep it less corse and amazing fragrance. It’s easy to shave but it takes work to grow a beard. When women ask about the beard I like to joke that “A man with a beard is someone you should date. They know how to commit.”

[@HansensUniverseT-A]

I think a lot of men uses their facial hair to generate a sense of masculinity when in reality some actually look like a manbaby with it, there is nothing more dominating and masculine than a man who can be masculine without any beard, beards don't make you more masculine, men should learn what true masculinity actually is, sadly many don't today.

[@trustinjesustoday]

[@Bhraonain]

I work in a very corporate environment and I'm supposed to be the successor to my boss. I've found that since growing a beard I've been taken much more seriously, as less of an 'assistant' and often I am the first addressed in the room not my boss. The adding years and wisdom thing is real. I don't need to maintain it much to look smart, but having really curly hair my skin always struggled being clean shaven daily. Often took me a long time washing and applying products etc.

[@CrimsomLeo]

Sorry I had a beard once but did not enjoy having it. Too much upkeep and I am from a military family so being clean shaven. Though I have attempted to grow it but it felt weird.

[@bencook6806]

No disrespect to Antonio, but I am on team Eric and team beard, all day ERRY DAY!

[@JodyRivers]

From painful experience I can attest that growing a beard definitely requires a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Not to mention the high cost of beard oils and waxes. It is so much faster to just do a quick shave every day or two. Plus as far as I am concerned, being clean-shaven feels so much better and cleaner. Don't even get me started about eating and drinking with a beard. The beareded dude claims that is not an issue if you trim it properly. I call bullshit! Regardless of how neatly trimmed and cropped my beard was, it always managed to catch pretty much anything I ate or drank. My girlfriend always complained that it was scratchy against her sensitive skin, especially down there. I used all the expensive beard products to keep my beard moisturized and healthy. In the end, it was all a huge waste of money, at least in my case. What I do not hear Eric saying is that the majority of beards thin with age, it is a natural process. When I was in my forties. my beard was pretty thick and lush. Around the age of 55 it began to noticibly thin and show bald spots. My doctor said that is quite common because men produce less DHT as they age, and that is the hormone required to grow a beard. There may be some treatments available to help with that, but they are also expensive and not guaranteed to work. My biggest annoyance with bearded men in general, is how so many of them create an entire identity out of fucking facial hair, which is basically just pubes on your chin! I could care less what other men do with their face, just stop with the stupid comments about clean shaven men being women and other childish remarks. Lastly, take anything Eric Bandholz says about beards with a healthy grain of salt, as he is in the business of selling beard products. In the end, having a beard or remaining clean shaven is a personal choice, and that I can respect. Please just do not allow the facial fur to be the only thing you identify with. Having said all this, clean shaven gets my vote!

It depends, Muslims see clean shaven men as women and even treat them as such

when i was in my 20's my aunt hated beards so i couldn't have a beard then for 40 years at work men couldn't have facial hair.after my boss retired he grew a beard which looked ok 5 years later my boss and i had lunch i did looking about beards i found imformation about beard care. for 6 months i have a circle beard which my wife hates in the begining now she is starting to like .keeping my beard short i like.i still learning about beard care.

[@leosigman7239]

This was fun! I can't say I'm on one side or the other. I let my beard grow when my shaves were no longer consistently close, I developed a "turkey neck", and I wanted to draw attention from my bald head. It would be interesting to see Antonio with a beard. How long a beard I leave to him. Eric can tell you beard oil eliminates scratchiness, your wife will tell you if it is acceptable.

[@christianballard4813]

It depends on your facial features. Some people look good with a beard and some without. Personally I look dumb with a beard. So clean shaven for me.

[@05Rudey]

Late teens and 20's I used to only grow a Goatee, keeping the rest of the face clean shaven, then after a few weeks shave it all off and stay clean shaven for a few weeks. From mid 30's to early 40's, I haven't had a clean shave in years and can on occasion really let it grow out. I like it because a number of people have said I look a bit like Leonardo DiCaprio with facial hair, I would like to think they mean Inception, but they probably mean The Revenant.

[@captain_daniel9y631]

round 1 - depends on your profession and lifestyle round 2 - properly groomed beard is good round 3 - it depends on the woman, but these days majority of women love beards round 4 - it depends on if you have time to take care of it round 5 - beard round 6 - history is history round 7 - genetics. I agree with Eric I am a die hard beard person. @antonio you should try the beard at least once

One Marine to another... a beard is the most natural thing you can rock...

[@ujjalhazarika6804]

The title says "Beard or no beard, which is better on man" Well I would say, the one that makes you feel good, that makes you feel confident is better. There's no "vs" between the two. There's no competition. Cheers 🍻👍

[@ryans4910]

Real talk, having a beard comes with vast amounts of maintenance. I feel like I take as long as my girlfriend to get ready. Condition it, pat it down with a towel, blow dry it, put some balm in to shape it, blow dry it some more, put my shirt on, and brush it down one more time... but damn women love it and the confidence is always through the roof.

[@Pinckman1360]

Maintenance is the key. Women don't like beards because they envision the "homeless" look of the past. Men who rock well groomed and styled facial hair attract more women because most men cant or won't rock a glorious beard. I spend a least 30 mins a day on mine. It takes time but it worth it, and growing a beard does more than make you look good. It helps you spiritually also. I visioned the beard I wanted and let it do its thing and after 3 years it finally matured to what I visualized. Anything in life can be had if you can dream it and then put the work into it. I have failed (just like everything I wanted in life) numerous times but keep going and finally it came to light. Society wants everything to materialize instantaneous but it does not work that way. Even God said he took a day of rest after creating the world. It takes time to achieve glory.

[@johnkim4686]

Also both of you have such valid points I think it really just depends on the person's style, mood, etc.

[@aidenb6356]

Me personally I like growing a beard I feel more manly and handsome when i grow my a beard. It doesn’t matter if you are clean shaven or have a beard. It matters if you take good care of my yourself and looking well groomed as a man

[@TankZane]

I have a beard but I couldn't grow anything decent until my mid 30s. The patchy parts get covered up by closeby fuller beard that grows over it once you get past the first couple of weeks. So even with patches eventually it will look like you have a full beard. Then selectively trim to style and maintain.

You should start a podcast dude this plus your questions were great. Wish it was longer

[@Playcool18]

There is no fight to win, to me I was let it grow to a certain point, appreciate it for a bit, and when it gets too big, shave it off and also appreciate the change. Maybe if later in my life I get more time and disposition for it, maybe I will start trimming my beard rather than shaving, but I really like a good shave. Would be nice to see Antonio going ahead with that suggestion of letting it grown and see it on one episode.

[@Vermithor00]

I got in to men's style because of RMRS way back 2015. I learned the basics of a solid wardrobe, accessories, etc. As my style evolved, I watched more of Beardbrand as I started growing a beard 2017. Overall, I think there is balance how to be stylish and rugged rocking a beard. Depends how you carry it and most of the time, a pleasing personality really changes the whole notion of being intimidating or aggressive. Beard or no beard, we work with what we have. I follow Eric's beard tips and Antonio's style tips. So much respect to these two for their contribution to the men's style community.

Personally I hate shaving. My skin always feel sensitized and irritated afterwards. Since when I decided to grow my beard it's been so much easier and my skin underneath feels healthier. Of course there's the awkward phase, but it is worth It when you get there
