Thank you very, very much for those DIY videos.
They are really teaching me to keep my beard as I like, particularly this one.
Worth mentioning, the "mind blown moment" on the other video and this one where you lean the head back to produce a straight line on the lower part...
I still feel dumb for not knowing this earlier, and thankful for being taught on your videos!
Keep up the awesome work!

That was amazing! Thank you so much for going over this shape.
The beard anatomy part was very interesting. Is there already a video where you explain the 3 beard primary shapes and the benefits of each?
You taught me so much! I never grew a beard for more than 8mm. Now is almost 1 inch and received a lot of compliments. Solidarity for going to take the vacuum, in that never-ending argument between you and your partner, we know that there will always be a small little insignificant hair left... and she will find it. But we always do our best.

All i can think is how impressive it was that kratos did this with a leviathan axe

Great video! I was finally able to give this a try tonight and I think it turned out very nice. A few “oops” moments so ended up being a little shorter than I wanted, but now I can grow it out and continue the shape maintenance over time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill with the rest of us!

It's great having an 'in shop video' and a 'DIY video' for those brave enough to attempt the self trim!

I love Kratos and God of War but the anatomy was my favorite part of the video.
It helped tremendously in debating what I'd like to do with my yeard later, my original goal was the Kratos/Ducktail but I am starting to think round/The Boss style.
This made me realize I need to research more on full beard styles and beard anatomy. Luckily, I'm only on my 3rd month of the yeard and have plenty of time.
Thanks Matty! Incredible video, you slayed the Kratos again.

Matty's videos never disappoints. 🔥
I've learned a lot from your videos and over the past couple of months I feel very confident to shave my beard myself.
Thank you very much.

Great video, and thank you for showing us the DIY version! I've been growing my beard out about 7 months now and might try an experimental shorter ducktail.

Hey Matty, I’ve really enjoyed these beard videos. I can trim my clients beards all day, but I struggle with my own. My guess is my left-handedness lol. Anyway, this really helped and I can’t wait to apply some of these tips to my own beard as well as my clients. Thanks

I’ve been hairstyling since 1994, but barbering is a whole other craft!
You’ve got some mad talent and a great teaching flow.

How long does it take to achieve this look? I currently have a clean trim, 3 clip so it’s close. Would you say 3 months? Also, there’s always the awkward stage of growing out the beard where it doesn’t look good. Any tips to surpass this stage would be appreciated. Thanks.

Amazing insights. You make it look easy with all your experience, so the advice about getting to the barber is the best. Thanks! You’re doing a brilliant job.

Great vid as always Matty! I used to rock a goatee in my younger days with the same tapered point to slim my face. I've had a beard for about 4 years now but always kept it short because of my coarse hair and round face. I recently decided (January-ish) to grow it out and this seems like the perfect shape. I've always kept the bottom line starting at the jaw hinge and straight to the adams apple, but I'm going to assume it will need to go below the jaw to pull this off? How far below the jaw line should I go? Or do i just need to focus more on the length of the hair on the walls? Cheers!!

Great tutorial! Thank you! I'm doing my 3rd trim now on this style. I love it. And if you mess up a little, guess what? It grows back. Looking forward to checkin out your other videos. All the best.

I have only had bad experiences with barbers 3 by 3 they took off almost 6 months worth of length off cuz they couldn't handle my beard.
So i stoped going to barbers for years.

Seeing your dedication to the craft it's giving me hope that there might be a local barber that can deal with my beard.

Great content.
Keep it coming.
