help with receding hairline

[bokkie]

Hi all,I am about a 2 on the norwood scale and want to try and tackle the problem before it gets worse. I have been looking at rogaine, problem is it's not recommended for receding hair, only for the vertex. I then looked at laser combs, but feedback is not brilliant and once again, not really for receding hair.
Should i try minoxidl? Is the kirkland minoxidl as good as regaine?
I was also looking at ds labs revivogen shampoo. Anyone had experience with it or something better? Is there anyone out there who has been in a similar position and found something that works?
Could you pls help me with a starting point?
Not really keen on propecia due to the sexual side affects.
Thanks for your time.
