I figure this would be a good place to keep track of Minoxidil and people who are using it and for some questions and answers regarding usage.

Q&A
Q: What strength should I get and how often should I apply it?
A: It comes in 5% strength and read the bottle for frequency of application. Most people do morning and night application.
Q: Foam or Liquid version better?
A: People are saying that foam is easier to spread on your face and can be left on all day without flaking in your beard.
Q: What part of my body can I apply it?
A: Just the beard/mustache area and the head. Keep it out of your mouth, nose, eyes and genitals.
Q: Ouch I put it on my face and it burned!?!?!
A: Yes it can really hurt the first time but the stinging should only last a few seconds. The longer you use it, after a few weeks it shouldn't burn when applied.

This isn't a bad idea but fyi Rengar's beard is Minoxidil free.
My bad I thought it was. I can't remove it since it appears there is a time limit on editing which kind of defeats the purpose of updating the topic.
Q. Where do you buy Minoxidil.
I don´t need an exact answer, but in Europe it´s controlled (available only with a recipe from the doc). There are sites that claim they sell it, but how do you know it´s the real thing?

Amazon seems to be the main go-to for people. I'm guessing Amazon UK should be an option with reasonable shipping for you? Most people seem to use the Kirkland brand which is also available from some Costco locations.
In the US you can buy it at any store with a health department, since its Rogain, or a general off brand. The best place to buy it here is Costco, or Ebay. Kirklands brand is cheapest and easiest to find.
