Good luck to you and if it works more power to you. We must all do what makes us happy. I am in the transition of going to full buzz cut and these fine gentlemen are giving me support. So I will try and do the same for you. Your baldness level does not look to bad so you just may be in time to do something about it. Now, that being said. You will have to be on those drugs for ever! Plus your friend on your first pic has so much hair it looks like a wig. If thats his real hair he is super blessed when it comes to hair and you should not envy him, but be glad for him. Good luck to you.
