Sorry forgot to quote the message I was replying to... it was with regards to oral minoxidil.

Thanks broseph. It’s been encouraging to actually see decent progress from my efforts.
My personal take on the hair loss thing is that for most normal people that experience hair loss the standard treatments of Fin, mon, etc. will probably work reasonably well for most people.
For those of us that use gear however, I think the addition of a topical anti-androgen like RU might be required due to the nature of our PED use.

wow. How much time between these two pics?

About 7 months roughly. Here is another one from about 5 ish months from a similar angle. I am very elated and feel very fortunate to have found a routine that works.

My Chemyo RU arrives on Monday according to informed delivery so I’ll then whip up my first home brew batch and take some pics of my finished product. I am planning on making a 5% RU solution with ethanol and PG. Some have suggested I go for 8%, but since 5 has served me well thus far I really don’t see the point in changing. I am super stoked to be trying my hand at making it myself for the first time.
I also went ahead and ordered 100 grams worth from Q so I will have a nice little stockpile in the freezer.

It's super easy. I just toss everything into a beaker, throw it on the magnetic stirrer, give it a little heat and that's about it.

I am glad this is an easy one to go with as my first to serve as a confidence booster.
On the subject of heat, can you define what you mean by “a little”? I have a hot plate ready to go but opinions on heat and RU are all over the map so I had planned to start very small. Thoughts?

I just warm it a little to help it go into solution more quickly, probably not more than 120f. I can't seem to find any real information as to what level of heat might harm the compound, so I keep it low, which is fine because it dissolves quickly in any case.

you dont need anything else but RU and ethanol/pg.
my advise is mix to RU with ethanol first, and add PG after. if find harder to mix RU with ethanol/pg than only ethanol.
i suposse you already know ethanol/pg 70:30 ratio and everthing else.
Also you can mix with minoxidil, its harder to dissolve, going to need more time swirlling the solution,

Appreciate the tips bro. And yes, I already got my ratios for PG vs ETH. Since I figured I might want to home brew some other things in the future as I gain more confidence, I went ahead and picked up some basic lab equipment to keep in my dungeon. So beakers, graduated cylinders, hot plate with magnetic stir, scientific scale, etc.
I have enough RU powder heading my way now between Chemyo and Q to keep me in a full head of hair for the next several years anyway.

My 50 grams of RU-58841 that I ordered from QSC is now on the way to me. I am thinking about sending a sample to Jano after it arrives for testing as Tracy does not have a recent test.

My initial order of RU powder from Chemyo came the other day and I mixed up my first batch on my lunch break today. Easy peasy. Took less than 10 min. I definitely won't be buying the premade stuff again now.

Well you have a couple years supply so why would you continue to buy premade

Yeo, plus I’ll have more than enough to hook up the occasional buddy that wants to give a topical anti-androgen a shot for their routine.

If you decide to, HMU and I’ll reimburse a portion of the test. I just received a 50g package that’s likely from the same batch.

Will do! Here’s to hoping I don’t encounter any issues with customs.

Got several DM's asking for my steps to make RU solution from powder, so I will just drop this here to make it searchable for future users.
1) Added 2.5 mg RU powder to a 100 ml beaker
2) Measured and added 35 ml ethanol to the beaker.
3) Measured and added 15 ml Propylene Glycol to the beaker
4) Put beaker on the hot plate.
5) Turned on magnetic stir to a low setting.
6) Added heat from the hot plate to 120 degrees F.
7) Took about 90 seconds for it to fully dissolve.
8) Transfered the solution from the beaker to an amber shaded dropper vial.
That's it, all done. Net is a 50 ml vial of 5% RU solution.
