Thinning Hair Man Finally Gets a Buzzcut And Super Beard Trim

Hello sir, do you want to introduce yourself? I'm Luke. Luke, I'm Darren. Darren, nice to meet you. That's Carlos. Okay Mr Curry, what are we going to do today then? Trim the beard up. Yes. Shave the head off. Yes. Yeah, it's just, it's quite sort of stringy along the sides here, sort of tremble this up, sort of, I can't really do it because I haven't got two hands for it all of a sudden. Sort of like, sort of like that. Yeah. Sort of trimming all this down. Yeah. You want to keep the fullness of the beard at the front though? Because that looks quite nice doesn't it? Yeah, I think so, yeah. But it's got a bit, it's got a bit wide. It's got a bit wide, yeah, sort of just like bushy. Yeah. I don't want it to be like too sort of drawn down. No. But I still do want all this sort of. You want that taken up and stuff? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And then with the head, do you want to just go, take it all off? Or do you want to have a little bit of a shape to it? So like really, really short on the sides and then go and keep a little bit of hair on top? I think just take it off. Take it all off? Sure. 4.5. Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. Hold that. Let's do some work then. Let's just do a half all over. So how are you man? Are you well? I've been good. Yeah. I've been good. Going to the beach with the kids. Nice. I mean, it's, it's been hot. It has, yeah. We've sort of been waiting for the evening, you know, a little bit, so. Yeah. No one's getting burnt. And then the kids break up in a couple of weeks, don't they? Yeah, they do. Yeah. I think is it, is it two, two weeks now or something like that? I think two weeks after this one. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll just buzz all this off the top. All right. Yeah. What is that? Is that a wand is it? This is a half. Okay. I always thought half was like the metal, the metal part. Half was what? I always thought half was like the metal part So no, so you can have a half guard or you can open it up and that's a half guard too. Yeah. Yeah. So I keep it closed because then the blade's working fully at its capacity and it's a nice safer way of, a more comfortable way. Yeah. It's a much more comfortable way of doing a half for someone having a guard in between you and when they're, when you're working with a clipper and it guards open and you're doing, and you're going across the skin, across the head, the blades warm up quite quickly. Yeah. So they can feel quite warm. Yeah. When I've done it myself, you can, especially in this weather. Yeah. If the camera wasn't on, you just use the hot one, wouldn't you? I probably, I probably wouldn't even bother. That's it. I'd use my broken ones. Look at Dan out there. He's like boiling. He's just, he's cooking himself out there, isn't he? Updating his Instagram story quick. So it's your first time over this one, isn't it? It is. Yeah, it is. Did you know? Obviously I thought I'd just shave my head off, didn't I? Because I started to get a little bit ridiculous. I thought, you know what? I just can't keep hair anymore. I'm just going to have to shave it off. Yeah. But the beard's grown massively, isn't it? Yeah. To be fair, I've come before, haven't I, where it's a lot bigger and even more messy, but yeah, that would have been ideal, wouldn't it? Well, it still looks like it needs a bit of TLC. Yeah, it does. It does. I do it myself occasionally, but it's never quite the same, you know? I think it's like a lot of things, you could probably do a better beard trim on somebody else than you can on yourself. When you're looking in the mirror, everything's back to front. Well, what happens normally when I do it is I go to do it and then I feel like I've messed something up. So I end up going shorter and shorter and shorter than what I want to go. Yeah. Yeah. You do one side and you're like, oh, balance it out. And then before you know it, you've just got a moustache. Yeah, that's it. You end up looking like Carlos. No, it's not a bad look. No, it's not a bad look. It's not a bad look. Like I say, me and Carlos have spent a lot of time working together and I always said that I was the funny one and he was the good looking one. Yeah. And then he cracks a joke and then I'm no longer either. That's it. Is he like the looking for a Portuguese guy though? No, for a Portuguese guy, he's ugly. That's it. He's bang average. In Portugal, they just call him average Carlos. In the south of England, they call him handsome. That's it. But yeah, if he was in Italy, he'd be slightly mongoloid looking Carlos. If he was in Milan now, people would be like, oh, he's that guy. Get him out of our shop. That's why he's moved down there. That's why he's here. That's why he's in England. He tans on the first day of summer and then he's all right. Everyone else waits for the last day. You're trying to say British people are very ugly. That's it. British people are on the whole. Just stitching ourselves up. It's funny. We went, we were in Wales at the weekend and we went to a service. It was one hot day. We went to the service station on the way home. There was a guy walking through the service station. Yes. There was a guy at the weekend walking through the service station. As he walked towards me, he looked really, really red, right? Red face, red forearms and red legs. And as he went past me, I looked around and the back of him was white. White on the back of his arms and his neck on the back was white. He'd obviously just been laid down. My brother used to say, take your shirt off. You'll end up with a poo head. It was so funny. I almost wanted to go over to him and go, great, great look mate. He looked like, he looked like someone had eaten the chocolate bit of a Neapolitan ice cream. Do you know what I mean? Let's have a look. So we're just going to use, I'm just going to use one of these. Actual bed time, eh? Yeah. It helps. It picks up all the hairs when you run it through. Okay. Let's see what we're going to do with you. I think what I'm going to do is I don't normally always use a guard on the side, but I'm going to guard it just because I want to make sure I don't take too much off. Like you say, you don't want too much off, but you want to see some shape, right? So I'm going to put on a two on the side and then we're going to work from there. All right. Okay. Just look forward. I always feel like when I'm doing this, I feel like a slightly like an optician. You know, when you go to the opticians and they say, okay, just look into my eye. Yeah, I do. I had the right weirdo. He was right in my face when he was doing it. I know. It's weird, isn't it? I don't. Right up to me. Yeah. And half an inch away. I don't think they need to be that close with all the technology we've got. Yeah. They don't need to be that close to those. Now, do you want to, cause you, your cheek line, it sort of comes down, then goes back up and then down again. Do you want to keep your cheek line natural and blend that out? Or do you want to go and have like a, like a sharp line through there? So the option is if I do, if I do it soft, it will grow out naturally and you won't need to do too much to it. If I cut that line in within two or three days, you're going to need to reshave it. I think soft then. It's only because that, that section there, I'm going to get rid of completely. And yeah, in two days, three days, you'll, you'll have a line, then you'll have I think last time I came, I got it softer. Yeah. Yeah. So as always, I'm just going to talk to the camera a little bit. I want to just work my clipper down. So I'm, I'm never, I'm never, never really going to go up into the, until, until I want to take a maximum amount off. So I always work down with the growth of the beard and anyone who's doing their beard at home, that's the best way to do it. If you're, if you're ever going to do your beard at home, that's where I've been going wrong. Do you go up and in? Yeah. So when you go up and in, not only do you create a line, but also you'll take the full amount of the guard off. Yeah. So when you do that, there's no going back. Yeah. So when I, when I come down, I'm not, this is now a one, but I'm not taking a full amount of a one off. So I'll show, I'll show you, so I'll show you, I'll show the camera, right? So when I do this, I'm going that way. This is a one, but when I go in, that's also a one. So I've taken off quite a lot more than I have when I go down. Yeah. So when people are doing their own beards, this is a really good trick not to take too much off. Only when I'm ready and I want to take a full amount off, do I come up and in and work my way up through the beard because the last thing you want really is to put your guard in, boom, and just take it all out. And then if you do put a line in there, it's really hard to get that line back out. Yeah. I think that's why I end up going short and shorter and I end up with bits, see like the corner of the jaw line and stuff where it's like longer and more straggly than the rest of it. Yeah. And like I say, you know, if you were doing this on somebody else, you probably wouldn't have an issue doing it, going up that way. But when you're doing it yourself, the angles always feel a bit off and weird. Yeah. So you can see the difference between that. You know, I've taken all that weight out without making you look gone. Yeah. And when you look at this side, I haven't gone in with a one yet. So you can see the fullness is all through there still. Yeah. So we can take that out and that line's nice and soft in there. I might soften that up a bit more. Oh, is it only when you open the door? I thought it was on the outside. She got it. The Amazonian people use them in the Amazon between trees and it stops them from getting bitten by by animals. Let's not have this video as an advert for Amazon. No, we're not doing that. We're sponsored by Amazon. So we're just going around. So I'm using what we call the heel of the clipper, corner of the clipper, working our way around. So I didn't want a sharp corner here because he's got a soft beard. Is it a long day? No, a long day, but it's still hot. Yeah. So it's all really puffy on that corner. So pushing it back, seeing the growth pattern and then taking it off. Yeah, 30 degrees is a bit hot to be inside a van making pizzas, isn't it? 26. 26 degrees as far as the BBC are concerned. So this is a half and I'm going to slightly open it ever so slightly because I want it to blend in with the beard and then close and open again. Close your eye. So just get in Luke, close his eyes because when you flick the hair up, you don't want it going in someone's eye. Slightly open and then closed. Slightly open. Just close your eye again. Okay, let's clean this up. You still plant based Luke? Yeah, I am. Yeah. How long has that been for you now? Oh God, since I was seven years old. Was it? Yeah. That's weak. He's got a good beard for a seven and a half year old. So how many years is that then for you? I'm 36 next week. Oh are you? Yeah. Wow. For 29 years then. A long time, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I mean you were vegan before it was fashionable, weren't you? Yeah. Yeah, nothing in the supermarkets. Yeah, only fruit and veg. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. I know, it always makes me laugh when people say, have you got a vegan section? You go, yeah, it's that really colourful bright bit at the front of the supermarket. It's called vegetables and fruit. Yeah, that's it. It used to be better back then though because you'd have smaller companies like doing things, say like ice cream and stuff. You still get that now, but not as much, you know, because obviously the supermarkets have sort of taken over that. But I'm still dairy free because I just can't have dairy. Yeah. There's so many companies out there now that are doing like dairy free ice cream. Yeah, there is. But have absolutely no food in it and it's all just chemicals. Yeah, it's crap. There's one particular company and I won't mention it, but I actually was disgusted at it. You know, I bought this tub of ice cream and when I looked in the back, it didn't even have like... You don't even understand what's in it. Well, no, it didn't have any ingredient that I recognised in it. It was all just chemicals and I was like, they're not even using a dairy alternative. Some are quite good these days. People are making ice cream with coconut milk or cashews and maple syrup and stuff. But I mean, when people are using just literally chemicals, that's what's happened, isn't it? That's what's happened is with plant-based food is that it's not made from anything apart from chemicals, is it? And actually you're eating more processed stuff now than there ever was before, isn't there? Yeah, there is. Because that's what I always say to people, there's a difference between being plant-based and a difference between that and being vegan. There's a lot of it that isn't food, isn't there? Yeah, there's a lot of junk for sure. It's looking good. Right, I need to turn you around to face me because I'm not getting the full appreciation of your face. How about now? That's brilliant. I like it. Do you like it, Carlos? I'm going to zoom in on that. Zoom in on that mush. You've got such a strong movement through your beard, haven't you? I don't know what you mean by strong movement. It's got like a wave through it underneath. It all comes in together in the middle. Yeah, it curls in. I think this is the best length for it, really. When I've had it really long, like a Jesus beard before, it just becomes too stringy. Yeah, yeah. This looks really full, but it doesn't look, like you say, stringy. It's a good length on you. I can't wait until the cameras start being horrible to me again. Well, I do like to be horrible to everybody. It makes me feel better about my life. Yeah, I get that. If I can be horrible to everybody else. Right, so I'm just going to come in. And again, I'm working. I'm not working up. I'm working downwards, being sympathetic to how the beard flicks up, only really taking off what's needed. Because the last thing you want to do is end up with a patch just under the lip. When you've got such a heavy, full beard here, this needs to work in with what we've got going on. So I'll come up that way now. So Luke, are you a footy man? Are you a World Cup man? Many years ago, I wouldn't have ever missed a game. Yeah. I watch England games now, and then I'll catch the highlights of the other games and stuff. Yeah, I can get into it. Once I'm watching the game, you know, I can be quiet. I'll become a football hooligan, you know. Sort of smashing the house up. Do you put opposing team shirts on the children so that you can abuse them and make them sit on another part of the room? That's it. That'd be a good idea. That's a good idea. It makes it more realistic then, doesn't it? It makes it feel like you're there, doesn't it? What about you? Have you been watching it? You're not into football, are you? Not really. I mean, I always really enjoyed the World Cup, though, as an event. But I will say I've not really taken much notice of this. I watched Brazil-Japan. That was a good game. And one of the reasons why I watched it was because my brother-in-law, he lives in Houston, and they were playing at Houston Stadium and another of my brother-in-laws was over there. So they were in the stands and they were watching it. So I thought, oh, it'd be nice to watch it with them, you know. So we watched it as well, but at home. But, you know, it was a good game. But I've only, I mean, I've watched two of the England games. I've only watched two. So the reason why I'm using the scissors on the moustache and not coming in with a clipper is because we made this really soft, made this all soft, made this all soft. This is all soft. And then to come in with a really hard clipper on the moustache, like that, would be sort of counterproductive to what we've been doing the whole time we've been cutting Luke's beard. So it's about having it all in keeping. And again, I've tried to make this line a little bit softer. Okay, just close your eyes for me. I'm just going to put a little bit of graduation through the moustache, just so it makes it soft. As it grows out, it'll be a little bit softer. Okay, Carlos Costa, let's use some oil. What oil are you using today? Today, I'm going to use this one. I'm going to lean across you. Norse winter. Nice. This, this is probably my new favourite. It is the summer though. It is the summer. Smell that. Oh, very nice. It's good, isn't it? Yeah. They do this, you do this in a cologne as well, don't you? Yeah. Yeah. Um, I did ask Beardbrand if they would give me all the colognes to use at home and they said I wasn't worth it. So I just have to pretend that I like the colognes, don't I, Carlos? There are other colognes available. It's not as good. So a little bit of oil on the skin, a little bit on the head. All done. Thank you very much. No, thank you very much. Yeah, just lean forward and there you go. Happy?
