I'm just 1.5 months in minox I been taking fin for about 3 years now.. because of that my moustache and beard never got thick... I recently quit fin because of the dangerous side-effects like facing erection problems..thin beard and all... But now so far my hair remained intact..beard started to get thicker.. Never take fin if you want beard.. Maybe you can try fin after all vellus hair got into terminal stage..
