LMAO well I went once after some IPA festival after 9 or 10 beers, way more than I normally drink. Had a shot of fireball and may have gotten sick at a bar table…

The bartender was not pleased as you could imagine.

That being said, the silver lining is she made a very cutting remark about my thinning hair (was unaware at the time) which basically got me self-conscious about it. Now I’m on Keeps and have a thick head of a hair again. Who knows if I’d be at this point had she not hurt my feelings like that.

Sure thing: https://app.keeps.com/

I do the basic plan which is a pill once a day and then this foam stuff (basically Rogaine) twice a day. You gotta stay with it but I started seeing some results after a month. I started seeing real noticeable results after 3+ maybe? I’ll post a before/after real soon.

That’s a huge difference! What’s the downside? There’s always a catch!

LOL well nothing so far. It’s like $130 every three months but the self-esteem boost is worth it.

Nope, nothing on my end.

I just signed up on the website. There was some quick questionnaire you do, take a couple photos for the doctor, and in a matter of minutes you’re approved. I looked the guy up and he’s certified and all that important stuff.

Honestly the hardest part for me is remembering to do the foam portion twice a day. It’s okay if you miss a day or so though.

How long do you do it for? Forever?

Yes, you have to take finasteride for the rest of your life if you want to keep your hair. The above ad for subscription propecia/finasteride won't tell you that.

I've been on finasteride for 2 years and have never had a single symptom. Anecdotal, and different for everyone, but it hasn't been a problem for me.

Ugh, I'll just go all bald. Lot easier honestly.

Also for anyone who has issues with beard growth, minoxidil (keeps’ active ingredient) can stimulate beard growth! I went from not being able to grow a beard to a big fluffy boi.

And being a guy in Richmond, a beard of some kind is a must

I'm glad it worked out in the end, but fuck. I dealt with every manner of shitty customer as a bartender and I guess it never occurred to me to be like "you know what would make this gross, contentious situation even better? A personal insult solely for the sake of hurting feelings."

I use keeps too! I started developing a bald spot after I got CoVid. Combing minoxidil and Finasteride fixed it right back up
