I would drop the dose down to 100 mg to 120 mg.  I think 180 mg to 200 mg is just way to high.  You can also increase at a later date and it is easier to increase than to decrease the dosages. One injection per week is probably fine with your high SHBG.

You can go smaller than a 25 gauge for injections.  I'd at least move to a 27 gauge 1/2" which should work fine with all oils and for IM.  I use a 28 gauge 1/2" for IM.

Whenever possible it is a good idea to start off initially with Testosterone monotherapy.  That is all many men use.  You could always order some AI to have handy but be hesitant to use it unless absolutely necessary.  They are very potent and what may seem like a small dose can be very damaging quickly.

High testosterone numbers aren't always a good fit for everyone.  Don't fixate on a number, fixate on how you feel.  Your Free Testosterone is much more important than your Total Testosterone.  Even though it is a small fraction of your Total Testosterone, it is the piece that does all the work.  We need our Free T to be 2% - 3% of our Total T.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
