My understanding is that effects depend primarily on your genes and your dose. Certainly I've not noticed any increased hairiness that's specific to where I apply the gel

This definitely makes me feel a lot more content-- I have figured that the changes would be less noticeable after a certain point of time, similarly to the first puberty that i went through, but it has been so long since the first puberty that i have forgotten how lengthy the process was. Would most of you agree that biological puberty (i don't know any other term to use) is quicker than medically induced puberty? Just a curious thought.
Anyway, I really liked how you made a point to say not "up to 5 or 6". That makes me feel better about it.
On average, puberty takes about the same amount of time whether the hormones in question are administered or produced by the body in question. It's the same stuff in the same amounts, after all. (Source: reputable docs who've discussed the matter with me.) (I'd also probably say 'non-induced' instead of 'biological', since puberty's a biological process no matter how you get the hormones.)
To use myself as an example, I'm five years on T this month and just over a year post-hysto. I can't grow a full beard yet, but it's still coming in steadily at about the same rate as my cis brothers' and cousins' facial hair did, and all signs point to my ending up about as hairy as the rest of them. (Even looking at cis people alone, I've noticed that there are plenty of men out there who can't grow a respectable beard until they're in their mid-20s or older- my youngest brother's 20, and his facial hair's about as far along as mine.)
