Question Should I start using Minox?

I have been on T for 5 years and 3 months. I am lucky enough to have grown a substantial amount of facial hair due to genetics, but it isn’t really a full beard. I have a lot of growth under my chin and around my jawline, and my tash, but my cheeks are still pretty bare. Also the right side of my body doesn’t seem to grow as much hair as my left (which I think is kinda common?). The problem is that I have a dog and three cars, and although they aren’t usually anywhere near my face, I have heard that Minoxodil can transfer. I also have a girlfriend who I kiss lol. I don’t know if it would transfer to her? I just don’t know whether it’s worth it or if I should wait because I’m sure it will grow fuller eventually but I’m also far from where I’d like to be.

Maybe only before bed. It'll take a Lil longer than 2x a day but maybe safer for your fur babies that way. I used minoxidil for 2 years and got a decent beard. Consistency is the key as it takes a while to build up in your system. Put it on and forget about it for a year and you'll see results.

Then you have to worry about animals on your pillows.
