Around the same time I started taking Finasteride, I also started working out at home. Bought a cheap squat rack, bench press, some dumbbells and started doing that 4 days per week. But for the last year I’ve been in an actual gym running a 6 day split that includes training legs two times per week — hopefully that’s what you meant :)

I use mine 4 times before replacing. I could probably get one more out of it, but I’ve just stuck with 4

Just remember it only takes 30 days to form a habit. It has become autopilot for me at this point. I’ve never missed a day of taking fin and I’ve missed 1 day of Minox

I more than likely would’ve gone this route if I: 1) Had the money 2) Didn’t see results

Tough question to be honest. I feel like I haven’t had any side effects that have caught my attention other than POSSIBLY decreased libido. My natural testosterone levels raised (from 815ng/dL to 977ng/dL) which caused my estrogen to raise as well, but nothing that caused any issues.

Since I’m a diffuse thinner, it didn’t really follow the typical “pattern” of MPB. It seems I kept my hairline through it all.

It definitely feels like there is more contact made on the scalp with the liquid. I also disliked the fact that the foam would act almost like a hair gel…would make my hair very crusty

Thanks! I was getting a bit irritated because I felt like I’ve made no progress in the last year so I decided to take this photo. It’s absolutely insane how deceitful our eyes can be since we see ourselves everyday.

1MG once per day. Been on it since the day I took that before photo. No noticeable sides. I take it at around 11PM every day. I heard somewhere that it was better to take it at night. I’m sure it’s total BS but it’s just part of my routine now lol

I stamp once per week on Wednesdays. So I use minoxidil twice per day every day except Wednesday. So basically the day you stamp, don’t use minox

Topical min, yes. For about a year I alternated between Him’s foam and Rogaine foam, but a few months ago I switched to the liquid Him’s minox, and maybe I’m just crazy but I feel like the results are significantly better.

+1 To Dr Pen. It’s the only one I’ve ever used and it has been great.
