Hellouser's RU Log (with Minox, CB Nizoral and Saw Palmetto)

I guess im just going to have to order KB then? where did you get your everclear from,
what is oleyl and where is that available?

Just get KB.

Oleyl is whats often used in cosmetics. I ordered it in a group buy. You can't buy this stuff over the counter anywhere.

[hellouser]

No to either. You'll need ethanol, dmi/dmso or oleyl. PG only slows down the drying time of the alcohols, it does not pass through skin. Vodka won't pass through skin either and the strongest type of vodka is probably a Polish rectified spirit, around 95/96% alcohol. It is a grain alcohol like Everclear and might work, but dont take my word for it, i'm only guessing. IF you cant find everclear I doubt you'll be able to find a polish rectified spirit.

Just asked on another hair loss forum if a rectified spirit will work instead of Everclear and the answer is 'yes, definitely'

Seeing how its slightly stronger than everclear at 96% (192 Proof) it could work a bit better.

Can i use only PG? i cant find everclear? can i just use a strong vodka as a replacement?

Just use KB solution...

10mg mixed with 1ml kb solution for each application?

is that what you do Hellouser?

No, I've never used KB and don't plan on it either. I use only ethanol/PG. I'm waiting to receive Oleyl but its been a while.

[Cob984]

Guys i got hold of pg, but i cant find everclear alcohol anywhere, is there a substitute?

[UK_]

I think I will do the same, drop RU and buy 2 grams of CB which should last me 5 - 6 months.

Hopefully this way I can avoid taking finasteride.

Hellouser, do you think the KB solution would work just as well as the everclear/PG vehicle for CB?

[UK_]

Cosmos' trials were successful even at 1%, if using 1ml it would last you 100 days (10mg per application).

[clandestine]

Would 1 ml be enough for full coverage of the scalp though? I do 1.25 ml of ru and that covers my hairline and the center of my crown

If you apply properly 1ml can cover entire NW7 area.

[clandestine]

Think i am ordering this CB form 3 soon, use in everclear/pg vehicle,
Also my 2% mpb Ru is on its way + neogenic, hopefully these 3 work for my hair w/o sides

Don't bother with Neogenic; entirely useless product.

This is true, but it was 1% with iontophoresis So 1% with a topical vehicle may not be delivering the same amount of CB. Although, since tehre wasn't a huge difference between 1% and 5% with ionto, for all we know 0.5% could have worked just as well too, and 1% in a topical will be fine.
