I am not sure of the aromatase-inhibiting strength of masteron and whether or not it is as strong as arimidex or aromasin, but I can definitely say it does work in that department. It did harden me up and prevent water retention to a degree.
Finasteride won't do shit in terms of stopping hairloss from masteron. You have to understand what finasteride does, first of all... finasteride inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme in the body. This is the enzyme responsible for converting TESTOSTERONE into DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE. This is much like the way aromatase converts testosterone into estrogen. Less DHT = less occurrance of male pattern baldness, as DHT causes an autoimmune response in the scalp, which results in hair loss.
So... now lets look at masteron. Well, if you've read up on it, you will see that masteron does NOT convert to DHT. But guess why? Masteron IS a DHT. It is a modified form of DHT, so using finasteride while using it is a waste of money.
What I would reccomend if you're worried about hair loss is this: go out and buy Nizoral shampoo (get the 2%). If you live in the US, apparently the 2% over there is not available over the counter. Well, the 2% is available OTC over here in Canada. Solution: order it from an online store based here in Canada. Nizoral is great because it is a topical DHT blocker. Let it soak in when you're in the shower and it will block DHT at the receptors in the scalp. Also works great for reducing oily skin (as that is caused by DHT too) and reducing acne-prone areas on the body (caused by DHT too). It really should be more well known.
Anyhow, masteron is great from my experience and I hear if you run it with test and tren, you get great hardness and it makes for a good cutting stack. Right now i'm using test/tren/turinabol. Turinabol is similar to masteron... kinda like an oral masteron.
Final note: you may be using too high a dose of arimidex and/or too frequently.
