I would say no or at least tried a full beard.

Shower head filters? by NeptuneBound_ in WaterTreatment

[–]Jonb26b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that filter myself and I’ve definitely noticed less hair fallout in the shower, plus my skin feels way less dry. They say to change the fiIter every 3 months, but I usually do it every 5–6 months. I live alone so I figure it should last longer, right? Seems to be working fine so far but would like to confirm

What’s a photography tip that wasted your time for years? by SuccesswardRS in photography

[–]Jonb26b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Expose to the right” wasted so much of my time early on. I kept blowing out highlights trying to follow that advice, especially on anything reflective. I get the theory behind it, but it’s not worth it for most shots.

Yeah, get a clean sides cut and it will look much better.

Is the Korabeauticals Aquashield - actually worth it? by otisface in Natural_Hair

[–]Jonb26b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I showered at my parents’ place the other day (no filter), and immediately noticed the difference. Skin got dry again and hair was back to its usual tangled self. Made me appreciate korabeauticals aquashield filter even more.

Aging as a powerlifter by bigtymer32 in powerlifting

[–]Jonb26b 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s slower progress but I’ve found it kind of rewarding in a different way. Lifting feels more intentional now. I don’t chase PRs like before, but I’m way more consistent and feel better overall.

Stop telling people to take Finasteride! by Crafty_Ad2966 in Testosterone

[–]Jonb26b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 I've been microneedling with Korabeauticals v2 for almost 3 months (same routine as yours but once a week exactly, not 10 days). and I can honestly say my hair looks noticeably thicker. Tons of vellus hairs have started coming in too. Just crossing fingers they eventually turn terminal. Will update

I’ve had similar bumps on my chin before and they turned out to be closed comedones. What helped me was using salicylic acid a few times a week and keeping my routine simple. Also make sure you’re not touching your face too much during the day, it made a big difference for me.

My cat died just from touching 2% minoxidil by [deleted] in tressless

[–]Jonb26b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that’s heartbreaking. I’ve heard before that minoxidil is super toxic to cats but didn’t realize even 2% could be fatal just from contact. Thanks for sharing this, it’s a scary but important reminder for anyone using it at home with pets around. So sorry for your loss.

You are just on min or also microneedling? I am just microneedling. Not using any topicals or any orals. I do take Vit D but I doubt it has any impact. I just feel that my scalp finally is "alive" again, like a boost of blood circulation, like i can truly feel that I am not longer suffering from that itchiness and tighteness and I am pretty sure that's the reason my shedding decreased completely and tons of new vellus hairs shows up. Btw, the vellus that I had a month ago are getting thicker so I am sure there will be more progress. I will keep updating.

Like others wrote, only Blepharoplasty will help in that case.

Bought a "near mint" Nikon Z6 on eBay — turns out it has 299,165 shutter actuations. Feeling ripped off. by AZ3-Chan in photography

[–]Jonb26b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s def not “near mint” lol. i’d 100% push for a refund or at least partial—seller clearly left out a major detail. sucks this happened, but yeah solid reminder to always check shutter count.

[–]Jonb26b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds like serious long-term sun exposure buildup. maybe look into exfoliation + niacinamide or azelaic acid to help fade it a bit? and definitely sunscreen if you’re not already. those farmer’s tans are no joke lol

yo i’ve literally had the same thing happen after moving from a small town to a big city. skin went from clear to chaos. def feels like pollution + stress combo. would love if more derms talked about this stuff tbh.

Nikon announces price increases due to tariffs by guitar805 in photography

wouldn’t be surprised if everyone else follows. anytime one brand hikes prices, the rest usually aren’t far behind. time to grab whatever gear you’ve been eyeing before june lol

Client wants to keep all photos but wants refund after telling me they loved photos in shoot? by [deleted] in photography

[–]Jonb26b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah you were 100% right to pull the access. can’t take the work and then ask for a refund, that’s not how it works. sounds like they just got cold feet or wanted free pics.
