Is topical finasteride 0.005% 2mL the same as 0.01 at 1mL?

I unfortunately cannot tolerate oral or topical finasteride. One positive aspect is my hair loss is slow and can tolerate 0.005%. I have read on forums some men who follow this mazzarella dose of 0.005% 1mL 2 times a day. For ease they do one application of 0.01% once a day. They did not see much regrowth but good maintenance. I can tolerate this dose but being a diffuse thinner I must apply 0.005% 2mL once a day to the scalp, is it the same as 0.01% 1mL once a day to the scalp dose wise.
