Really enjoy watching your videos. When you're a bald bowling ball like myself, the beard is really all you have to express yourself hair-wise. It's fun experimenting on your own beard, and I've gotten a lot better at grooming it thanks to your great instructional videos. Have a great day!

Kudos to you, Matty, for delivering an outstanding tutorial on beard fading! You effortlessly simplified the fading process, making it a breeze. Your tutorial is hands down the best fading guide on YouTube, especially for the classic fade. Plus, with your instructions, anyone can easily achieve a great fade on their beard. A reminder for folks here: to create a flawlessly faded beard, a robust trimmer is vital in sculpting the perfect look. I use the Wahl Magic Clip or Andis. Thanks a lot, Matty!

Thanks for your work, Matty. You are the reason I got myself a Wahl and a trimmer and embarked on my own beard-shaping journey.

I'm starting to grow my beard long and your videos have been so helpful. Thank you. (I'm a late beard bloomer).

ANOTHER great video! I relate to this shape and style a lot and thank you once again for a wonderfully informative narrative! I learned some new techniques on this one! Well done and a great production by the way too! Cheers my good man.

Thanks for your videos. They're very helpful.
If you want ideas for future videos, I would appreciate one about how to achieve defined edges on a very curly beard. Every time I wash it or brush it, the edge is going to be different and lines are very blurry and round, until a point where there's always a big part that is transparent. If I trim this part, the next time it will look transparent again. I had a very long beard and I've just turned it into a ducktail.
All the best. 👋

That trick for the top line is amazing!
I’ve been to a bunch of barbers before doing my own beard and I’ve never seen anyone do it like that before and it looks great!

Thanks so much for this. I always felt weird with a bald head and sudden beard. This is a great solution. Doing it tomorrow and will look into your product as well.

14:45 that’s brilliant. I’ve been trimming my own beard for 15 years and that’s the only issue I have is getting a perfect curve.

Such a great channel. So well done. Can't wait to try your top line cheekbone tip! Game changer. Thanks, Matty.

Wish I watched this video a while back. The fade technique is so cool and not that hard to pull of yourself. It looks best on guys with shaved heads. Thank you for this tutorial.

Another awesome video!
Quick tip: I’ve gone to barbers for most my life (50 years) and you can reduce the wear on your clippers as well as the “shrapnel” by barely going past the fade lines.
Basically, cut the upper 1/3 only, change guard, cut mid 1/3, change guard and finish.
It seems odd when you first see it, but the barbers I’ve had use this method give the best cuts and it grows out better.
Hope this helps👍🏻

Thank you Matty, I just faded my beard myself using this video. It doesn't look as great as this video, but it looks far better than how i used to do it.

That curve technique blew my mind. I’ll for sure be using it next time I clean up my beard!

Author — @luis_xav12

Thanks for this! I've never felt confident when going for a long beard, so I usually stay in the short beard zone

Author — @ryanfleming142

Great video. That’s a fantastic trick to line up the cheek line too. Always something I’ve struggled with.

I was one of those people that commented about blending/tapering the beard. Thank you for defining a fade vs. taper! My beard length is close to your length (medium?) MAN! I do not feel confident doing last weeks beard trim and this weeks is a whole nother lvl.

I do line up my own beard in between cuts, usually using a safety razor every 2-3 days. I might look into a foil shaver. I could probably do it daily in 2-3 minutes.
