I trim my beard short these days—and I'm showing you exactly how. This is my second time cutting it this way, so there's some experimentation, but the process matters more than perfection.

Here's what we cover:

Why nose hair and eyebrow maintenance are non-negotiable
How to trim sideburns and set your baseline
The technique for the back and sides (short to long is key)
The mustache philosophy (this is everything)
Why trimming your mustache makes your beard look weak
How to get a powerful, masculine beard that gets compliments

I average 20 beard compliments every single day I work. The mustache is 90% of that. I get it—you want it to look "clean." But clean isn't powerful. Masculine isn't polished. There's a real difference, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Tools I use: Brio clippers, regular buzzers, comb and scissors, nose hair trimmer, skin razor.

This video is raw process, not finished perfection. If you can see past the trial and error, you'll see what actually works.
