I am 25, and have been slowly baling for the past 3-4 years. My hair is curly, so for a while it wasn't showing, but this summer I decided to buzz it and I love it. Lately though, the crown has been showing skin and even though I will probably keep it short, I still want to have a full-ish head of short hair.

I ordered Rogaine this week and will start using it this weekend, and have been wrestling with taking Propecia for years now; at first I was inclined to pull the trigger, but lately an abundance of sex made me conscious that any possible problems with erections and ED are far worse than a bald head.

I read that the working principle of Propecia and Saw Palmetto is similar, and when I took SP I never had problems with ED, so I am hoping that IF I do take Propecia it will be the same case.

In any way, good luck with your treatment and it does look like its working. Any tips on maximizing effects of Rogaine and any other application tips?

When things get worse (i.e. your forehead is no longer a forehead anymore but a skull), just shave your head to 2 mm.

Thanks for the advice. I really wish I could find a good barber or hair stylist around here to make something like that work. I'm always pretty bad at describing the look that I'm going for.

I think the cases of ED were just in a small percentage of men, but I could be wrong. The one thing that scared me about rogaine was that I used it before buzzing and when you first start you begin to shed some hair. This made me think that it was making everything worse and I almost ended up quitting before it began to grow the hair back. My advice is to just stick with it for more than 2 months. If you are buzzing your hair short then the whole shedding thing shouldn't be as obvious as it was with me when I had medium length hair.
