Beard Edits! are a thing that I've seen
on the internet over the last few years
and whenever I see one of me, half of me
is like "Yeah~ work that beard dad"
and the other half of me is like
"NO! Throw it into a volcano!".
There is no in-between.
I just did an Instagram ~poll~
57% of you said I should get a beard!!!
and 43% said NO. I feel like the people
that said "yes" are not thinking about
my best interest and they are just curious
about what it would look like cuz it's not
your face! but-
incouraging nontheless.
so I thought, the only way I could find
out if I truly suit a beard would is to
actually try some out in real life.
so I bought a whole variety of Fake Beards
I'm gonna stick 'em on my face and find
out once and for all.
we're gonna do a Beard Rating out of 5
and decide what is the Best Beard for me.
so before I destroy my face let's have a
look at some of the Beard Edits you guys
have sent in.
oh my god that
looks like a completely
different person. that is so weird.
who are you? why are you cooler than me?
this one I don't like as much.
I'm slightly scared.
NO
that one is terrifying. ok i need to make
a note 'Do Not Smile with a Beard!'
that one is an absolute NO
Oh My God
That is the most cursed thing I've ever
seen [im so sorry phil]
enough.
so I had a very intense day of
Fake Beard Shopping and I thought we could
kick things off with some fake mustaches.
simple. clean. maybe I just need a
mustache and I don't need the whole
hairy neck scenario. I like that they are
'emergency' like what is the emergency???
why do need them???
firstly the ultimate classic.
~oh~
it looks like I've got more niche interest
and I'm like 10% gayer like I
only talk bout 1960s bicycles.
it's not bad we're giving it a 3.
ohhh that looks bad.
does this mean I'll have to dye my beard
black for it to look good?
I never considered this-
I'm gonna give it 2 stars. I want it off
my face. oww.
no.
this one is also giving me a gay vibe
slash police. Gay Police!
I'm the gay police. I would definitely
have a cooler name with this mustache like
~Richardo~ or ~Blake~
but yeah, generally I'm kinda digging it
especially with this denim jacket.
it's giving me a whole like
"I'm gonna stay at the club till 5am in
my tank top and you're not gonna do
anything about it!" OW!!!
3 stars! I kinda got used to it on my face
and now I look weird without it on my face
are you getting that? no? ok.
onto the beard!
the first beard I bought is- this
why would you use such a terrifying person
for the picture? are they real?
they look CGI! I'm scared.
do you wanna scratch my knees?
I don't- I don't even know how that's
gonna attach to my face but let's give it
a shot. the biggest mystery is what this
person looks like beardless.
equally unfriendly. mrahhh
sorry if this like your dad. this feels
strong as well. I'll find a look that's
gonna be my face with no skin. right I'm
just gonna- alright just gonna plunk it on
oh my god. that's not right. ~heyyy~
oh it's really hurting my face.
say this wasn't such a crappy packet it
don't look half bad does it? I'm kinda
liking it guys. ooh~ imagine having such a
fluffy face. it's like having 6 hamsters
strapped on there. I feel like if I had a
Beard- a beard! I would do a deeper voice
I'd be like "hey, my name's philip-"
maybe I would call myself Philip.
Philip here, would you like to try my
craft beard? Philip here and my new merch
is AXES!!! alright, squint your eyes
because at a distance this looks pretty
good. I'm gonna give this one 4. right-
I better peel it off now. oww it's stuck
to my hair. ahh! oh my god I look about
14 now. bring back the beard!!!
ok equally weird packaging. we've got an
attractive man's face and they just
plonged the beard on top. I'm feeling like
this is gonna be more greying,
sophisticated, "I've seen things" vibe.
free him. ohh hello, less scary maybe
these two could be friends? now kiss
i mustache you a question how does it look
wonky! oh no! I can't have a wonky
mustache. that looks like I've got some
kind of small animal on my face like a bat
has just gone "cro" and stuck under my
nose. ok here we go- umm, ok, that is a
look. I look like Rick with a beard from
The Walking Dead. "Carol-"
I feel like I would twiddle this a lot
while solving mysteries like a college
professor but a bit badass like I've got a
dark secret- what's in his basement?
ok that's a bit more creepy. at this age
in life I don't think I'm ready for the
grey beard yet but I'm not gonna say no to
it. I'm gonna give it a 3. on its own that
is a 1. alright get off. the next one is
described as a Ginger Hypster beard.
a lot of people think if I grew a beard it
would actually be ginger but I think it
would be dark brown. this is probably the
longest my facial hair has ever gotten
which looked alright. there might've been
a few ginger strands but it wasn't fully
orange. anyway I'm intrigued how this
will look because maybe I'll dye it if I
do get one. ohhh! this is the longest one
yet. this is exciting me. how do I do this
do I just put it on the back of my head?
oh it's getting in my mouth- people with
beards how do you stop it going directly
into your mouth? oh oh I think I've done
it. this one does not look good. I thought
this would be one of the good ones.
it's got the fold from when it was in the
packet. i do like how wild it is tho. I'm
like an untamed lion ready to sow my oats
I think this one would suit me with
glasses more. wait- yes! now I can see it.
can you see it? do you love it? i- I'm on
the fence. if these two hair colors
matched I think it would look a lot better
so overall I'm gonna give this one a 2.
and- ow get it out of my mouth now! blehh
this one I think is gonna be the best.
it's described as a viking beard which is
my dream. why are there two pieces?
oh my god- how do I even attach this ti my
face??? oh here we go-
imagine having this much hair on your face
I like that its got plats in as well and
this is a wig to go with it. yesss. i dont
know what's happening I can't see but I'm
really enjoying myself. this feels good
it's like having a permanent duve on your
face.
the name is Lestgar do you wanna ride on
my ship? no. this is great. I'm gonna give
this a 5. I might consider growing this
when I'm fifty. I love it!
the next one just says God which I'm
thinking is gonna be really similar to the
one I just tried on. ohhh this one is more
sleek. it's like I've used Pantene Pro V
for wizards. hello my children. I'm either
god or the wisest wizard that ever
wizarded. imagine if god had a youtube
chanel- "hey guys, smash that like button
today we're gonna talk about what the f*ck
a giraffe is". I love it but I'm not gonna
personally keep this look so I'm gonna
give it a 3. oh i forgot about this- I got
beard lights. I've run out of long beards
right I'll put this one back on
so you literally clip them into your beard
this has given me the biggest jealousy
so far I would totally get this for
christmas if I had a beard. who needs a
christmas tree when you can have fairy
lights on your face. so finally I wanted
to try and get the most authentic beard
possible and I did some googlin' and I
found a way to do that was to use hair
fibers which kinda grossed me out because
I thought it might be real hair but its
not. it's fake hair that you glue to your
face to look like a beard so I'm gonna
glue my face and then sprinkle some hair
on myself. alright let's get a good
mustache line. oh this is hard cuz its
invisible. how much am I gonna regret
this? uhhh- this is automatically gross.
ok it's happening.
oh my god that looks kind of real. ok so-
it's a bit messy. I shouldn't have gone up
so much over there. alright I'll try and
be more careful. oh that's a bit wayward.
oh no.
oh this feels so gross. I don't like it.
transformation complete
can't stop looking at myself in the
monitor umm- wow. you know what? I think I
look pretty great. at a slight distance
this looks pretty realistic like if I went
to the shop- oh I just breathe some in-
don't breathe this. if I went to the shop
people would think I was a guy with a
beard. I dunno if mine would be this dark.
that's the thing I think it could be
lighter brown which may affect this whole
look. so overall I do think I'm happy with
my natural no beard face but I could do
this one day just as a little change.
maybe for a few months. I'd never go full
beard forever. I've also got hair all over
my hands I guess the rumors are true
don't do too much beard application or
you'll get hairy hands. I'm gonna give
this a 5.
