Fin - messing with my hormones. You have gotta be kidding me.
Even if it does work, what happens after YEARS of changing your hormonal balance?
Minox - I am on the fence. At the same time I have read too many horror stories of guys starting it, shedding like shit and losing hair. I dont even think you can reliably maintain on it.
This is why I am watching these new treatments closely. I want something that works that is safe and effective.
As gail rightly said only 7% treat their hairloss, and this is why.

Irishpride86 on ************ is an example of some ridiculous results.

Doubt it. I would bet one of my testicles and say that only 7% treat their hairloss for other more obvious reasons.
1) Hairloss isn't a night and day thing, it slowly creeps up before an individual notices to take action.
2) A lot of men have no idea that there are solutions to treat hairloss... and thats the big one. 2 years ago I had no idea of products such as minoxidil, finasteride, etc. I only once heard about hair transplants about a decade ago as well and didn't think much of it. Fast forward to today and I'm a great example of a guy that noticed his hairline being receded before being to late to stop it going past NW1.
You'll see that 7% number jump way higher if you educated men on the topic.

Sure - that too.
But I am an example of someone who knows about treatment options that is refusing to touch fin.
And with all the bad press against fin, it has given me more of a reason to not touch it.

I know this first hand, I went to europe for 2 months this year and had to take my RU58841 with me along with two small bottles of isopropanol (99%) and polypropylene glycol. RU should last for at least a couple days before going bad when mixed in the solution. I was lucky because I was with family and friends but kept my main RU package in a freezer and took smaller portions premixed with me to wherever I was going and applied on the spot before bed.
Yes its a hassle, but realistically, how often does one travel to render RU an illegitimate option? That is of course you don't have a job like being a flight attendant or something, lol.

I'm in the same boat, I will not *ever* touch Finasteride. I'd rather go bald than limp or permanently limp.
If I were you, I'd give RU58841 a go with Minox despite your worries. I've been on Minox for just over a year and my hair density in my crown has definitely improved. I'm still working on my hairline though, I'm on RU as well and only about a month ago have I bumped up my dosage to 100mg every day before bed. I've already noticed a ton of vellus hairs in my temples, I'm hoping they eventually turn terminal.

What if you have a job that requires you to travel a lot - consultant?
What if you plan to go on a roadtrip with friends/gf etc Many in their 20s do this.
What if you are going away for camping for a week.
There are so many scenarios.
RU is an all around pain in the ass.
