getting depressed and hopeless, shaving bald isnt working.

[2bit]

I was so excited to get a hair transplant but then learned I still need to take finesteride which has been giving me side effects. I've tried to accept going bald but no matter what product or method I use my face gets razor burn every time.

Idk how to accept that I have to deal with this for the rest of my life. does anyone have any advice on how to shave better? my confidence has completely disappeared.

I am really sorry for the pain you are going through and the sense of loss. Maybe if you post pictures, someone might have an idea.

Try 0.5mg or 0.25mg finasteride.

I would drink a bottle of vodka a day if I were you. No but seriously you should become an alcoholic to cope.

That's not bad at all. finasteride and min might fill in that tiny circle.

it's much worse than it was. I tried finasteride but got those side effects. I need to find the right shaving technique. it's fine when the barber does it but I can't always take that long

Then try dutasteride.

Did u try minoxidill and needling? Was on reddit and a guy used only min for a long time with zero results only when he added needling once a week did his hair grow.

Hey, I shave my head bald. It's super easy with a typical pivoting 3 head electric razor. No pain, takes about 1-2 minutes. Can do it in the dark at this point and just feel with my hand if I missed anywhere. Nearly as close of a shave as a razor. Super convenient too as it's clean and catches all the hair. Obviously, you need to buzz your head first, but after that, all you need to do is just shave as needed. I do it every 1-2 days.

Let it grow out and see if you can style it. If i did what you are doing my hair would like total sh*t. I can style it when its long so it just looks like recession on the temples. Of course wind and water is my kryptonite.
