![]() Let your brain focus on the creative side of things instead of trying to recall that paragraph you read weeks ago! This helps me to create connections along the way, leaving me to focus on what’s important – writing the post! For example, when I’m working on a new blog post, I can add relations to the Readwise database. This will enable us to easily recall the information at a moment’s notice.Īgain, through the Connect & Sync menu in Readwise, click on Export Highlights.įrom here, you can enrich your notes by adding other pieces of research and linking them to other ideas you have pulled along the way.

![]() ![]() Named so after Beardbrand founder Eric Bandolz, and this style is not for the facial hair novice. Simple, elegant: the polished beard is never out of style. Regardless of the length, you’re going for, getting a polished beard on you requires one simple rule, and that is to trim all sides – from the cheeks right down to the chin – to achieve an even, clean shape. Whether you have a square or round jawline, this no-nonsense style would make you look both neat and gruff at the same time. No, you’ll have to part them in two and braid them to get that over-the-top effect you deserve. With its length, you can’t simply just have it hanging down or getting shaggy all over. Just keep in mind that the most important part of The Warrior is the chin. We’re not talking about inches here we’re talking about feet! Simply put, you’re going to have to allow your beard to grow at least 12 inches (a foot), all the while letting your mustache and sideburns freely flow down your face. With this, you’ll be riding on zeppelins and gallivanting about town in no time!Īpart from the pillaging, the axes, and the inhumanly intense drinking, what makes Vikings the dashing scoundrels that they are? Why, the beard, of course! Now, a word to the wise: of all the styles we’re showing you here, the Warrior is probably the one that requires the most patience and maintenance for you to properly boast it. As a bonus, you can even opt to go with faded sideburns to make your beard and handlebar mustache stand out. The question is, how long exactly do you need to grow your beard to achieve that perfect complement to your handlebar mustache? Well, a rule of thumb is growing it anywhere between three and a half to four inches long, and then just maintaining that length and grooming it regularly. Nothing says “dapper” than a handlebar mustache, and it works perfectly with a neatly trimmed long beard. The only difference: The Razor’s edge requires less shaping around the edges and instead only requires that its sides are always symmetrical. Now, you can think of this style as sort of The Boss’ scruffier – though in no way less good-looking – cousin in the way that you’re also doing faded sideburns here that gradually flows into a full beard. And there’s no other way to describe it other than the word “classic.” As such, we recommend the Razor’s Edge if you want to play it safe for now without sacrificing style. Just remember: keeping up with its growth and trimming when needed is the primary objective in Bossing it up.Īnother style that goes with any head shape is none other than the Razor’s Edge. ![]() Make sure that no strand or patch of hair is left untrimmed and you’ll be rocking this style that mixes the rugged appeal of full-bodied beards with that preppy, structured look. What you want to do here is give your sideburns some fade, which then gradually becomes thicker until you reach the beard. So, how do you go about it? Simple, really, as long as you observe proper maintenance. Just its name alone commands respect! The Boss is the kind of beard that doesn’t discriminate: it works with whatever head shape you have. And best of all, it’s pretty simple to pull off: just let your beard grow naturally, all the while trimming (Note: not cutting) its edges and mustache to achieve that symmetrical look that’s key to this style. Paired with a neatly trimmed mustache, the Garibaldi can be as long as you want. ![]() This full-bodied face mane accentuates your face’s natural curves. The Garibaldi is the kind of beard that’s perfect for men with either a rectangular or oval head. Don’t worry, though, as we understand the struggle and have come up with the ultimate list of beard shapes and beard styles that will help you choose which face bush suits you best! Don’t believe us? Well, let’s just say that there’s a very, very thin line between “handsome outdoorsy lumberjack” and “deranged hobo who uses subway rats as smartphones.” Suffice it to say that a simple stray curve or asymmetrical bump is all it takes to make or break a man’s glorious beard. Contrary to popular belief, pulling off a proper beard is an endeavor that requires both discipline and patience. Ah, the beard: imposing, grand, and ultimately magnificent. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She gives the English a chance to surrender, which they refuse.
