Okay I finally finished reading all 55 pages! I did pick up two bottles and the cream about two weeks or so ago. I like the results I'm getting so far feels like I'm getting some additional new growth. This is definitely the same stuff as surge from years back. It is great stuff. I think I'm going to go back to the old surge threads to see if I can pick up some more nuggets of information.
But so far what I've been doing is applying the spray twice a day. None on my hairline. I use the cream for my hairline and edges. I decided to take someone's advice and put it in an applicator bottle. That has worked wonders as far as applying. It is very runny and I must be heavy handed because it would always run down my neck and face. So to thicken it up I added about a half an ounce of OCT that I had left over and a quarter of an ounce of JBCO to prevent the dryness that I remembered from last time. I've been using my spray mix on my eyebrows and lashes for 4 or 5 days. I'm noticing a difference in my lashes. Hopefully my eyebrows catch up.
I remember last time I used it it brought my hairline forward. I didn't realize it had started receding until I used surge and noticed it fill in and become fuller. My nails are starting to grow faster as well. I've never had problems with breakage but I'm definitely noticing the quick growth. I've been practicing my typing for an upcoming job exam and long nails get in the way of my speed and accuracy. Guess I'll have to trim them more often. I don't use the spray on my hairline or edges because I remember last time that in addition to bringing my hairline forward I also started to see more peach fuzz and a few long (like half inch - 1 inch hairs) on my face. That's a no go. Fortunately, that's the only thing that didn't stick with me after I stopped using the spray last time. I still have the full hairline. Pieces that got longer continue to get longer and stay that way until I start neglecting my hair again. Oh I also started taking allicin (garlic - allicin is supposedly the active ingredient) tablets again as I remember that shedding increased when I used surge until it stopped on its own. Shedding and breakage have been minimal this go around. I'm trying to remember any other insights I had from last time.
Anyway, good luck everyone! Side note: If you're having trouble finding the new surge try this link

I hope you guys continue having great success. Also don't be shy about looking at the older threads. There was a wealth of information on this forum about surge and the challenges.
ETA: I started baggying just my ends three days ago. I may add a second bonnet or a smoother cap/something to keep the moisture in my scalp as well. I don't know yet. I just don't want this on my face and I think the rest of my hair deserves as much love as my ponytail.
