if you love your strength and functioning more, you've already answered the question dawg. i was noticeably balding my freshman year of college. it was a bitter pill to swallow, but i've managed to get through life just fine. to me, it just doesn't seem worth potentially messing with your hormones just so you can have a nice hairdo. my only advice? never get fat. to me at least the bald look works a whole lot better on a thin face and slim build. being able to grow a beard helps too.

Anyone using these?
I'm reluctant. Love my hair. I love my strength and functioning more.
Been using low dose finasteride for 15 years. Has worked great for me and no side effects so far. You can only get so much regrowth. It can only activate dormant follicles not bring back the dead. Mainly prevents further hair loss
I use Finasteride 1mg a day. I use Minoxidil foam twice per day on the hairline. I use a dermaroller on the hair as well. I will be honest in that did see minimal growth with Finasteride and it has definitely stopped hair loss but I'm only a month in with the minoxidil use to determine how effective it will be.
There is hardly any hair in the sink, shower, hair brush.
Finasteride is great. I have experienced no side effects at all.
I don't see any problem about loosing hair. It's an human evolution.
Those that loose hair have another issue: gray hair.
A razor and a good shave cream with brush. Moisturizer. A hat for long stretches in the sun.

If under 50 it is important to lean into thin hair, and shave the head. Looks a whole lot better than having a noticeably thinning hair style.
I use to shave with a razor, but I did not keep it up as much as I should have since it took a lot of time. A friend got me one of these for Christmas. Now I keep it close to the scalp. Takes probably 1/3 the time as a razor shave, you can do it completely dry, never get cuts, and it cuts hair to the scalp nearly as close as a bic.
Only drawbacks: they are not super cheap and the replacement shaver heads are $50ish. I have not had to replace one yet but after about 5 months I am about to. Does not work on the face, and I still have to use a bic to clean up the neck and around the ears every once an awhile.
