But before we dive into that, let me give you a little background information about myself and the purpose of this video.
Background information on Craig
For those who may be new to my channel, my name is Craig and I’ve been creating content focused on minimalism and freedom for quite some time now. I’ve always believed that living with less can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to decluttering every aspect of my life and sharing my experiences with all of you.
Explanation of the video’s purpose
Now, let’s talk about the purpose of this video. I wanted to challenge myself to let go of something that has become a defining feature of my appearance – my beard. But this video isn’t just about shaving my beard; it’s about embracing the temporary nature of life and the potential for growth and change that lies within all of us.
Summary of the content
In this video, you’ll see the process of me shaving my beloved beard with the help of the Gillette Styler. We’ll talk about the viewers’ vote that led to this decision, and later, I’ll share my thoughts on the temporary nature of life and the importance of embracing change. Additionally, I’ll discuss my plans to donate from the earnings of this video to a cause that is close to my heart. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the discussion on decluttering and bidding farewell to my beard.
Discussion on Decluttering
Importance of decluttering
Decluttering plays a significant role in my life, as it allows me to let go of the unnecessary and focus on what truly matters. The process of decluttering our physical spaces can also have a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being. By clearing out the clutter, we create space for clarity, contentment, and a deeper sense of self.
Craig’s personal approach to decluttering
Personally, I’ve taken decluttering to the extreme. I’ve pared down my possessions to the essentials, keeping only one set of clothes, my eyeglasses, and the means to connect with all of you. This intentional minimalism has allowed me to prioritize the things that truly bring value to my life.
Things Craig won’t get rid of
While I’m all for decluttering, there are a few things that I won’t get rid of. As I mentioned earlier, my one set of clothes, my trusty eyeglasses, and the means to communicate with you all are essentials that I want to hold onto. These items serve a purpose in my life, and they align with my values of simplicity and mindfulness.

Viewers’ Vote on Shaving the Beard
Reference to a previous video
In a previous video, I asked all of you, my incredible viewers, to vote on whether or not I should say goodbye to my beard. This was a tough decision for me, as my beard has become a part of my identity over the past ten months. I value the input of my community, and I wanted you all to be a part of this decision-making process.
Explanation of the viewer voting process
Within 24 hours of posting the poll, an overwhelming majority voted for me to get rid of the beard. At around 75%, the votes were clear, and so I made the decision to embrace the change and embark on this journey of saying goodbye to my beloved beard.
Revealing the majority vote
So, without further ado, it’s time to reveal that 75% of you voted in favor of me shaving my beard. I was both surprised and grateful for your participation, and it meant a lot to me that you all took the time to share your thoughts and opinions. Thank you for being a part of this decision.
Shaving the Beard with Gillette Styler
Introduction to the Gillette Styler
To help me through this process, I’ll be using the Gillette Styler – a versatile tool designed to provide a smooth and precise shave. I’ve been using this styler for about a year now, and it has never let me down. Its ergonomic design and multiple functions make it perfect for maintaining a neat and well-groomed appearance.
Step-by-step process of shaving the beard
With the Gillette Styler in hand, I began the process of shaving my beard. Step by step, I carefully trimmed and shaped my beard, using the styler to achieve the desired look. It was both exciting and bittersweet to see my beard disappearing, but I knew that change is a natural part of life.
Impressions and reactions during the shaving
I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions as I watched my beard being trimmed away. It felt odd to see myself without the familiar facial hair that had become such a big part of my appearance. However, I also felt a sense of liberation and a fresh start. It’s amazing how a simple act like shaving can bring about a range of emotions and reflections.

The Temporary Nature of Life
Reflection on the concept of temporariness
As I stood there, facing my clean-shaven face for the first time in months, I couldn’t help but reflect on the temporary nature of life. Just like my beard, everything in life is impermanent. It’s a comforting reminder that change is inevitable, and it opens up the opportunity for growth and new beginnings.
Connecting temporariness to the beard
My beard was a symbol of the past ten months of my life – a journey of growth and self-discovery. It served its purpose for the time it was with me, but now it’s time to let go and embrace a new phase of life. The act of shaving my beard reminded me that everything we experience, good or bad, is temporary, and it’s up to us to make the most of each moment.
Acknowledge growth potential
While saying goodbye to my beard was a bittersweet moment, I couldn’t help but feel excited about what lies ahead. Just as my beard will grow back if I choose to let it, I know that I have the potential for further growth and development in my own life.
Plans to Donate from the Video’s Earnings
Announcement of donation intentions
Now that the beard is gone, I wanted to share my plans for the earnings from this video. It’s important to me to give back and make a positive impact on the world. Therefore, I’ve decided to donate a portion of the earnings to a cause that is dear to my heart.
Explanation of the chosen cause
I’m passionate about the environment and the well-being of our planet. With that in mind, I’ve chosen to donate to initiatives focused on planting trees and preserving natural habitats. By contributing to reforestation efforts, we can create a healthier and greener future for generations to come.

Craig’s Satisfaction and New Look
Expressing satisfaction with the decision
Now that I’m clean-shaven and sporting a new look, I have to admit that I’m quite satisfied with the decision to say goodbye to my beard. Change can be intimidating, but it also brings about a sense of adventure and new possibilities. I’m excited to embrace this fresh start and see where it takes me.
Description of Craig’s new look
Without the beard, I’m able to see my face in a whole new light. It’s like revealing a hidden side of myself that had been obscured by the facial hair. I feel lighter, more refreshed, and ready to take on new experiences. It’s incredible how a small physical change can have such a significant impact on our perspective.
Reactions and comments received
Since shaving my beard, I’ve received an array of reactions and comments from all of you. Some of you were shocked, some excited, and others shared your own stories of saying goodbye to something significant in your lives. I appreciate each and every comment, as it reminds me of the power of community and the value of our shared experiences.
Perspective on Life and Change
Sharing personal insights gained
As I reflect on the process of letting go of my beard, I’ve gained some valuable insights about life and the nature of change. Change can be uncomfortable, but it often leads to personal growth and transformation. Embracing change allows us to step out of our comfort zones and discover new aspects of ourselves.
Discussing the relationship between change and growth
Change and growth go hand in hand. Just as my beard had to be shaved in order for it to grow back, we sometimes have to let go of old patterns and habits to make room for new experiences and personal development. Change is a normal and necessary part of life, and it’s important to embrace it with an open mind and heart.
Encouraging viewers to embrace change
I want to take this opportunity to encourage all of you to embrace change in your own lives. It may be scary at times, but it’s through change that we can truly discover who we are and what we’re capable of. Whether it’s letting go of physical possessions, changing careers, or simply trying something new, don’t be afraid to take that leap of faith.
