The only time I truely get upset about my thinning is after rogaine application... It really makes the scalp visable, leading to an hour or so of panic and self-flagylation. I would like to avoid this. Also I would like to apply it twice a day, but cant imagine going to work in that state. So, some questions...

1) is xanadrox as quick drying/ cosmetically acceptable as dr. Lee's plain 5% rogaine, or is there more mess and residue (hope not, I ordered some)

2) does anyone know of and use any minoxidil containing formulation that is more convenient and less greasy than Dr. Lee's formula?

3) what about this stuff? http://www20.addr.com/~baldspot/formula.html Looks like a scam, but I cant imagine why it wouldnt work given its ingredients, and its a spray, and says its non-greasy... It sounds good...

PS> Billy Bob Thorton has some "recession" and created his mentally and socially challenged charachter carl ("Some People Call it a Sling-Blade) while staring in the mirror, making faces at himself and feeling ugly, speaking with a slow drawl... He later married Angelina Jolie, the hottest thing ever... Proving,... Im not sure what. Oh, and Angelina is available now (except, possibly, for Tom Cruise but he has a strange religion) and apparently likes the thin look :wink:

I believe Dr. lee's formula dries much faster and is less greasy then the traditional generic minoxidil or rogaine. I would recommend this if you apply in the AM before going to work, etc... I find that after the minoxidil dries that it actually gives the hair some volume and managability. I only apply minoxidil at night now, however, before I go to bed so its really not an issue.
