I believe my temples have filled in. Hairline looks the same, and crown was always good.

One problem: I have no idea which component of my regimen is responsible for the improvement, as all of this stuff you see down in my sig (other than Nizoral) I started during April/May/June.

I don't notice any of the commonly reported side effects for either RU or minoxidil.

My minoxidil max has run out, and unfortunately the company doesn't ship to the USA where I now live. So I'm switching to Rogain 5% foam which I purchased this morning. I bought a 3-month supply, but since I'll only be using it once a day it's really a 6-month supply.

I have recent pics, but I've changed my hair style since I started and thus it's impossible to compare precisely. With that said, the aspect that was giving me anxiety was watching my already-receded hairline transform into a widow's peak, which leads to an island which is ugly. Those two fronts of baldness at the ends of the hairline look like a scorched Earth territory from a war, no thank you. When I drop the chemicals on my hair, I start at the ends of the hairline and it seems to be working.

Here's a picture of me visiting Washington DC on Monday, the ends of my hairline actually look pretty good, I think:

Sorry for the pretentious pose, my friend and I were goofing off.


If this treatment holds out for a few months, it will carry me through to Brotzu and Histogen and I might be effectively cured without a transplant.

I wonder if I should add a single cycle of this spironolactone product:

I have updated my regimen.

Tomorrow morning will be my last
"- ~4 ml of 5% Garnier Fructis Stemoxydine, with 15 mg of RU58851 (0.3%) , 1x/day;"
For a while.

As of now I have dissolved 3 grams of RU into ~160 ml of minoxidil (Rogaine liquid), which I placed back into the bottles (some losses because I'm sloppy), and I'll be taking 1 ml a day. So it will be between 15 and 20 mg of RU 58851 a day.

I also have alfatradiol coming in soon.

So I'm guessing you just make one "big batch" of RU instead of making daily/weekly batches? Have you noticed any problems with this? Tempted to buy 5 grams of RU for kicks and mix it into my daily minoxidil usage.

I split up 3 grams into 3 bottles of minoxidil, so yes. It's a bit of a pain. I have not noticed any problems.

Dude, you look good! Nohomo but for real, you make yourself sound so much uglier than you are. If you're looking for a new tinder pic, look no further.

That picture didn't work on tinder or Bumble, I had a scarcity of matches, good for a couple dates a month with subpar women.

Though in LA women seem to like it.

I've added Pantostin alfatradiol to my regimen.

It's 0.25%, I'll be doing 1.5 ml a day or half the suggested dose.

Bro you're looking like a serious success story in that pic. Looks like a normal hairline from here!

Thanks man.

It's just a little receded from where it started, and the diffusion is camouflaged by my curls.

I got a haircut today, a 5-guard on top. It's necessary to completely hide the early m-shape of my hairline.

So all in all my position is decent, I think. Maintaining is not guaranteed though.

I read that the RU molecule is not stable and deteriorates fairly quickly once dissolved into a carrier solution with any water content.

Linky: http://www.ru58841.info/stability-and-storage/

So how to properly prepare it?

Im a literal retard when it comes to math so I need to be told what to do.

I got 60ml bottles of 5% minoxidil, commercial liquid minoxidil. How do I prepare this?

I want to order X amount of RU powder and get started but I need to know exactly how to do it.

We are saying RU doesnt last long, so 60ml at once seems stupid. Considering I need 3 ml to properly cover hairline and scalp and im going to be using it 3 days a week day and night, 3x3= 18ml a week, so I guess I can put 18ml in 20ml vials.

So how much RU do I put in a 18ml 5%minoxidil liquid solution if I want the RU to be 5%?

Im going to be using it 3 days a week tops, I believe chronic daily RU usage might be a mistake. I will test it out 2 or 3 days to alternate with the finasteride+minoxidil foam I use. Currently I use spironolactone on the weekends with minoxidil, does sh*t nothing.

If im still scalp-itching and balding, if the RU does nothing i'll kill myself or buy a wig, and im not even NW2 yet my hairline is starting to diffuse. I CANT take this sh*t any longer.

I worked it out on the first page, do you have a full collection of measuring spoons?
