    Didn't mean to finish posting... Double edge safety razor is awesome!! Blades are cheap, use it on face and head... 0 nicks, on damn headblade I switched to 3 blades from the 5... Ouch.. Pretty bad cut..

    Anyway just shave it or wait another 10 years or so... there'll be some better treatments probably genetically/stem instead of doing follicle transplant that can sometimes mess up nerves in the scalp (I think this isn't as a big of a deal now, but man... Some of those early guys with the ****ty plugs got the raw deal, lost scalp sensation just to look like they had some hair (lol) and paid a lot... Just not worth the investment.


    Once it becomes cheap sure, but the other actual hair products Propecia etc (while they work), are not worth the side effects (obviously not all men get them), sure you'll have hair but.... any drug that could cause prostate issues or sexual disfunction isn't worth it for some hair (I'd only suggest a drug like that it medically necessary and hair isn't medically necessary). Also unless you go Rogaine /Propecia or test for some other medical issue.. That's about it for actual stuff that stops/regrows some hair, and probably won't help with receding either. Males only need one bad copy from the mom or dad and they're screwed, so if your dad isn't bald you can probably thank your mom (unless you have something else going on), but.. Probably just the good ole male baldness!!

    Anybody have any experience or know anybody to have any success using Keeps? After reading up on it, looks like they just double you up with generic rogaine combined with generic propecia. Any thoughts?

    Between this and the hemorrhoids thread, I am feeling for y’all.

    My hair loss is just the classic Dracula-like slow retreat so that I’ll be able to play the villain for many years to come.

    Your picture indicates you have a thick full head of glorious silver hair.

    Him's. Won't work for what's lost in the front, but will for what's lost up top.
