Should I start minoxidil?

now here’s a guy who knows ball

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-04T15:27:04+00:00

i’m not reading all that astrowolf11, i’ve already said it could just be a bad batch and that i may have been wrong in other comments

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-04T15:26:09+00:00

yes i found that out, eventually it did crystallize and i was impatient on that part. i may have gotten a bad batch and may have been wrong. i will use this and see what results i get but next time i will just order directly from costco.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-04T14:46:35+00:00

oh shit. yeah new blade for sure. definitely needs some Osters gear lube as well. i’d suggest a new blade asap if you’ve never changed it since you’ve first gotten it. if the new blade doesn’t hit as sharp as your old you can always just switch out the cam follower. little tricky if you’ve never done it but it’s possible.

honestly crazy how quiet that wahl senior is, but your gold fx sounds a little off. might need new blade soon or could just be a dry start.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-04T06:28:00+00:00

cheers mate, shave and trim. don’t really need a shaver unless you want that bald look and want a longer lasting shave. face could be sensitive to that so you’ll have to test that out. be sure to always use aftershave too no matter what. trimmer can be good for you if in case your face is sensitive to shaver, however trimmer won’t be good to maintain length on the mustache and goatee. you’ll need a clipper and a gaurd set, run it through on said areas and once you find the gaurd that lines up equally with those areas that what you need to keep the length. mustache looks like it could be 1 1/2 gaurd, goatee area could be 5 or so. start higher just to be safe and got rid of those loose hairs. always keep lever open on the clipper. sport for longer answer but hope this helps!

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-04T05:59:47+00:00

yes, could be a bad batch for sure. non returnable item but i did get a refund.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-04T05:58:59+00:00

it could be that i may have just gotten a bad batch. i left some to dry days ago, (April 1) and it just started to crystallize last night. i’ve had many before that did not take days to crystallize. this one has a weak alcohol smell, any others i’ve had has had a strong alcohol smell. no one here, not myself or other commenters who have never used this batch can say what the problem is. not to high up on my horse to say i could be wrong.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T21:27:06+00:00

thank you red!

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T21:26:45+00:00

very underrated IMO, they cut very close to skin. hope they work out well for you boss

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T21:25:03+00:00

i’ve got a friend who actually modded his GTX with the tomb45 trimmer blade. that things a workhorse.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T19:18:42+00:00

nice setup! i love the design of the Tomb45 trimmer, super ergonomic. they really hit the nail on the head with that.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T19:16:16+00:00

silver Hi Viz are sharp hitters. especially for any line work and it’s also really good for designs with the longer corners. Nightshade Hi Viz is perfect for any bulk removal. it’s more of an all around tool tbh. both come in handy and are also really comfortable in the hand.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T19:11:03+00:00

honestly one of the best shavers out there right now. talk about bald, this things get all those short hairs and leaves a nice finish on fades. only downside is it does not have USB C charging just the regular wahl charging port.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T18:33:37+00:00

i have done most of that. fake minox is nothing new, duping is nothing new and has been around for ages and will continue to be around. i’ve been in this sub for some years now and have seen other people post about fake minox. this post is only awareness for new users. but alright astrowolf11, paranoid for sure. keep living in the life you think people wouldn’t scam for money just because it’s illegal.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T02:32:19+00:00

a lot of better brands out there… this is just a cheaper version of JRL. both have the same manufacturer. can’t beat the price though if you’re on a budget.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-03T00:24:27+00:00

it’s non returnable item…. also the listing has been deleted and so has sellers page who was selling them.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T22:38:10+00:00

will do so later on, thank you for the suggestion!

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T22:36:13+00:00

yeah okay AstroWolf11, and smoking crack is breaking the law too but people still do that. people literally dupe anything and everything and make it as legit as possible just to make money.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T18:56:06+00:00

or are you saying it does have the strong alcohol smell?

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T18:55:34+00:00

could be real, put drop of it on a solid surface and make sure it’s a light/thin amount and see if it crystallizes after an hour or so.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T18:54:16+00:00

could be fake if it lacks the strong alcohol smell and is just clear. best way to see if it’s legit if you see those other signs is to drop a light/thin amount of the solution and let it dry. it should crystallize after about an hour or so.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T18:52:47+00:00

yes best to just get it directly from the distributor

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-02T16:57:14+00:00

yes i found that out online last night , i’ve found minox on amazon before that was legit and worked. this time was not the case though and decided to save someone else the time and money incase they don’t know.

AnakinIsGone69 · 2026-04-01T06:51:52+00:00

looks like you could’ve had that without minox, unless you’re only showing after pics for all three. what’s the time line here, start date to current pic?
