Running test, mast and proviron this blast and my hairline is going faster than it ever has. I know the high DHT gear is the problem, mast and proviron especially, but I am not dropping them mid run. I am already on oral fin but it tanked my libido and mood so I want to come off it. What is actually holding the line for you lot beyond just fin and dut? Topical fin, nizoral, RU, keen to hear what is genuinely working and what is a waste of money.

I personally found Finasteride as long with minoxidil works, but it takes ages to kick in, and its pain the ass as you need to take it every single day

Topical fin was the move for me, the oral wrecked my libido and mood inside a month and I wasnt willing to live like that. I run it with nizoral two or three times a week and that combo has more or less held the line on a test and mast blast. RU58841 gets talked up a lot if you want something harder hitting without the systemic hit, plenty here run it. Honest truth though if youre genetically prone the mast and proviron are pouring petrol on it, a few lads swap those out for primo and the hairline calms down a fair bit. Youre not regrowing anything on blast, best you can do is slow the loss.

Topical fin plus a decent ketoconazole shampoo a couple of times a week is the sensible holding pattern if the oral sides are getting to you. Worth being honest with yourself though, nobody is regrowing a mature hairline on a high DHT blast, the realistic goal here is slowing the loss not reversing it. Dropping the worst offender for primo is the other lever if the hair matters more than the look.

Honestly the realistic goal here is slowing it down, not saving it. If you are genetically prone and running mast and proviron on top of high test you are just speeding up what was already coming, the compounds dont create the loss they accelerate it. Nizoral 2 or 3 times a week plus a topical is what most of us land on, topical fin spares you the systemic libido hit that oral fin hands a lot of guys. Just know dut knocks you out of blood donation which is a real pain when you also need to drop hematocrit on a blast. A few here drop the mast and prov for primo, milder on the hairline if holding it matters that much to you.

Proviron and mast are the worst of it for the hairline if you're prone to it. Plenty of the lads hold the loss with nizoral a couple of times a week and a decent topical, dropping the worst offender for primo helps some too. You won't regrow on blast, the aim is just slowing it down.

topicals are what saved my sides. dropped the oral fin because it tanked my libido and switched to topical fin plus nizoral 2 or 3 times a week, kept the DHT protection without feeling flat. RU58841 gets talked up a lot as the harder hitting topical if you want more without the systemic hit. honest truth though, if youre genetically prone and running mast prov and test youre just speeding up whats already coming, the gear doesnt create it. some lads drop the mast and proviron for primo which is a lot milder on the hairline. nizoral plus a decent topical and cutting the worst offender is realistically the best holding pattern, youre slowing the loss not reversing it.

Honestly the thing that moved the needle for me was topical RU58841, hits harder than topical fin without wrecking libido the way oral fin did for me. Ran nizoral 2 or 3 times a week alongside it and the shed calmed right down. But be real about it, running test mast and proviron together you're stacking three of the worst DHT offenders, so you're just speeding up what was already coming. If you're genetically prone the realistic goal is slowing the loss, not saving a mature hairline, and a lot of guys end up dropping the mast for primo which is a fair bit kinder on the head.

Beyond fin and dut the stuff that actually helps is going topical to spare the systemic sides. Topical fin, nizoral 2 or 3 times a week, and RU58841 is the one guys reach for when they want something harder hitting without the libido hit. Be honest with yourself though, if you are genetically prone and running mast, prov and prop you are just speeding up what was already coming, the gear does not create mpb it accelerates it. Some lads drop the mast and proviron for primo which is a lot milder on the hairline. The realistic goal here is slowing the loss not regrowing it.

Nizoral a couple of times a week plus a topical fin is the realistic holding pattern most guys land on here. Dropping the worst offender in the stack tends to help more than people expect. Keep the expectations right though, the goal is slowing the loss not regrowing a mature hairline on blast.

Beyond fin and dut the thing actually holding hair for me is going topical so I dont tank my libido. Topical fin plus nizoral two or three times a week is the base, and RU58841 is the harder hitting one guys reach for without the systemic sides. Oral fin wrecked my mood and drive so I switched to topical and got most of the protection back. Honest truth though, if youre genetically prone and running mast prov and winny youre just speeding up whats coming, the gear doesnt cause MPB it accelerates it, some drop the mast for primo to ease off the hairline.

The topical route is what held my hairline without wrecking my libido. Topical fin plus nizoral 2 to 3 times a week is the base, and RU58841 is the harder hitting option if topical fin alone isn't holding it, no systemic hit that way. Oral fin crashed my mood and drive so I switched to topical and microdose oral dut twice a week, got most of the protection with far fewer sides. Just be honest with yourself, if you're genetically prone and running mast, proviron and prop you're speeding up what was already coming, dropping the worst offender for primo is the realistic move if you actually want to keep it.

Nizoral plus a topical and dropping the worst offender is the honest play. Seen plenty of lads chase regrowth on blast and it just does not happen, managing the loss is the realistic goal. Primo over mast if the hairline matters to you.

RU58841 is the one that gets talked up most for exactly this, it binds the receptor locally without the systemic libido crash a lot of guys get off oral fin. I run it with nizoral 2 or 3 times a week plus topical fin and it held the loss slow enough through a mast and proviron blast. Honest truth is none of it regrows a mature hairline, you are just slowing down what the DHT gear is speeding up. If you are really prone, dropping the mast and proviron for primo does more for the hairline than any topical will.
