Wow the pics are impressive.  I never believe the commercials, but a fellow CB probably doesn't have a vested interest.  TP
When I did the research, the only thing that I expected actual results from was propecia.  The science behind it made sense.  My dermatologist suggests I also try Rogaine, because it supposedly might zombie some dead hair follicles, but it seems more iffy to me.

IMO propecia is way better than Rogaine or any sort of external application.  It's somewhat analogous to trying to lose weight by working out only when you're body is pumping 10,000 calories into it.  The best method would be to reduce the calories, which is similar to Propecia (finasteride)... it greatly reduces the DHT.

I had very similar results with Propecia and have been using for 10 years. I had a decent birds nest going and it was gone after a year and has stayed that way for about the last 10 years.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Im using propecia now as well. Not sure if this happens to others, but i see alot of stray hairs around but my hair is much fuller than before.  So its kinda weird, maybe i was always dropping some stray hairs and just wasnt noticing but who knows
