How to Shave a Beard

hey kids nice to see you again uh so today i'm going to show you how to shave a beard this isn't exactly a beard but you know it's it's long enough where you got to do it a little bit different than actually just shaving with a razor so i thought i'd walk you through that uh but but first i have a dad joke for you so did you hear what sean connery said to the lobster who wouldn't share his toys he told him he was shellfish ah so anyway let's get started okay so uh if your hair gets a little longer like this where let's just say you know longer than an eighth of an inch um if you try to use a razor for this it tugs uh and then you know you tug and i i've done this before back in my college days when i had uh my my facial hair grew out and then went to shave and you go to shave and you know as you do it it tugs and then it gets full and then you're rinsing it up tug full and it just is it's pretty hard to do it that way so you know i would recommend you can pick up just a cheap little trimmer like this usually 10 bucks at t.j.maxx or where wherever um or i have an electric trimmer because i use this to actually cut my hair as well um you know and it's just not a bad thing to invest in a decent little trimmer uh you know because as you get older hair grows uh you know where you don't want it to grow and it grow it doesn't grow where you know maybe you'd like it to grow so anyway i'm just going to walk you through this um and you know you can do this uh outside uh or or what have you because it does kind of make a mess you know i talked about the cleaning up after yourself you know if you're shaving it's the same thing here this may you know your hair is going to go everywhere so uh if you have one that's battery powered you could easily do this like out in the grass and just kind of you know go to town and get rid of it because basically all we're trying to do is just you know uh just get rid of that length of hair and then at the end then you'll go and actually use a regular razor but you want to get it down to a manageable length uh you know basically up against your skin and then you can take the rest off with a razor so uh so anyway i'm just going to show you what that looks like um so i have this this one has a dial on it so i want to have it as close as possible so i'm going to move the dial all the way forward okay and then i'm just going to as you're shaving you want to kind of open your mouth to kind of make it tighter okay like that because if you just keep your you know everything kind of uh loose your skin loose but the shape the razor doesn't glide across it as good so it's kind of the same thing here you know you're kind of stretching things to make it make it a flat surface to remove it okay okay you can already kind of see that it's closer there see that's the other side okay another thing you're gonna have when you don't shave for a while this happened even more so when i was younger is you're gonna under uncover maybe you know some ingrown hairs there uh i don't really get that so much now that my skin's gotten tougher but that was pretty common okay i'm co-relating anyway if you got something important to do uh where you want to look your best you might want to do this the day before so that you don't have a bunch of red bumps you know so anyway [Music] i'll speed this up for you so [Music] seeing harris kind of flying all over the place here um i'm doing it inside this time just because it was easiest to be able to show you what i was doing but see that so it's all you know it's a lot closer now it's a little less than an eighth of an inch it'll be a lot easier to shave that now so [Music] okay and here's this other one [Music] okay so there you go that's pretty much it um i've got a little bit of more i can maybe do but you just want to do that before you shave it just makes shaving so so much easier rather than tugging on it and again you can pick one of these up fairly really inexpensively so all right i hope that was helpful for you now you can use my shaving video to to finish it off if you want to take it the rest of the way off and thanks for watching god bless you
