So, I'm now 4 months on Finasteride only (Proscar cut in 5). I definitely see some improvement, especially it seems to be working on right side of my hairline, where the scar is, and on the photo with flash it looks like all the hair have thickened a bit. It's not neccesarily cosmetically desirable improvement, but I think there's more to come in the upcoming months (4 month is quite early). What's interesting, I only noticed improvement during 3rd month. Earlier it looked like nothing was happening, or more - it was worse than baseline. Actually I think I had a shed, and only now regrowth and thickening seems to be kicking in.
I also have tons of vellus hair on my temples, which are gradually getting longer and stronger, but are not yet pigmented, so they are only visible under certain lighting. If they were ever to get terminal, I would become a freaking NW1 again
If you were curious about my side effects, I think for the first maybe 3 months I had weird feeling in my prostate. I don't know how to describe it, but it wasn't pain. Now it seems to have went away. Libido is the same or slightly higher, and I can still get full hard on and get aroused easily. One thing I can definitely tell is that semen is more watery, but it's nothing major.

Picture 2 (daylight, 4 months in):
Picture 3 (flash, baseline)
Picture 4 (flash,4 months in)
More fair comparison (very similar lighting). I circled are where there's the biggest and most obvious improvement. Notice how light vellus hairs turned into thicker coloured hairs.
Picture 5 (flash, baseline). It might actually look better than it really was, because it was freshly cut and there probably are some cut hairs that stick to the rest of hair making the areas look thicker:
