Testim.

I liked topicals, cost was outrageous even with insurance. I had fair results on Andro 1.62. I know you're in socialized medicine land though so is cost an issue?
 
I do well on cream. Unless you have good insurance. Stuff like Testim will cost you an arm and a leg (or more). Copay can be a killer also. I used Testim in the past. It has a smell (I cant smell it) but the ladies sure do. Had a few at the office that could literally smell me coming down the hall. Kept asking what cologne I was wearing and that it smelled nice. Also 2 tubes is a lot of stuff (even one tube) to be spreading on.

Got tired of the insurance paperwork crap and switched to compounded "T" cream from Empower. 20% per ml. I use 1/2 ml per day just a little dab:) Cost is less than my copay on the Testim, Androgel, etc., stuff.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
