Don't remember so much with propecia, but there was a clear and distinct reduction in body hair caliber, growth and density when I was on Dutasteride/Avodart. I stopped 8 months prior to my first body hair procedure. I stopped because of the sides and when I saw the potential of BHT.

If it was me (IMHO), it would be an "either OR" (DHT inhibitor OR BHT), but not to have high expectations with BHT while taking an internal DHT inhibitor.
