Mirror Shaver or Shave By Feel

[DOC_OSMC]

Now that's a brilliant idea!

I also have a 3 panel med cabinet, vintage 1958 when my home was built. It is really cool, can see all angles.

I like to use a mirror to see what I'm doing but Ican also go by feel without a mirror

So I did shave by feel today in the shower.  Not bad, although I did have to reapply the shave cream a couple of times.  I did have to go over a few areas a couple of times from missing them, but overall, it worked out.  I must admit the steam from the shower felt like it helped guide the blade a lot better and the shave seemed smoother.

I go by feel. I do have a mirror in my shower but rarely use it.

I use a hand held mirror for the back, always have, I get to nervous to shave by feel, always scared I'm gonna cut the back of my head, I also make 2 passes on the back and sides , 1 pass with the grain, 2 pass against the grain for an extra smooth feel. I need a mirror to see what I'm doing, then yes I touch up the little spots missed by feel, so I guess I can say I do both.

Shaved by feel in the shower again, and I gotta say, I'm getting better it at. Again, the steam from the shower seems to make the shave go smoother and easier. Or if that just in my head?

For me. . . I get better head shaves in the shower.  Going by feel is the only way to go for this head shaver.

Feel is not an option for me because there is always something I'll miss whether it be on my skull or face even when it all feels okay.

I always used the mirror above the sink until today, actually. Finally cleaned my bathroom after too long and realized I was creating a disgusting mess from the sink mirror method.

Mom got me a fogless mirror that sticks on the shower wall for Christmas and I finally tried it out today. I have to say it's the best thing any man can do for themselves when shaving anywhere from the neck on up. No mess, shaving cream is nice and warm, and your hairs are ultra soft. Gets done much faster with less irritation.

This is the one I have:

Two days in a row now shaving by feel and in the shower.  I see now why some of you shave every day.  It's easier and quicker to do when there is only minimal growth.  And again, the steam in the shower seems to make the blade glide smoother and with no irritation.  This might convert me to an every day shaver.  I do still do some minor touch-up in front of the mirror for the side burns area of my beard, but that only takes less than a minute.

I gotta try that, I hear more and more BaldGuys say it's the only way to go, would make sense and it's less clean up time 2, then just moisturize.

In this cold weather, I love to pamper myself by shaving my head in the shower, making it last longer.  I shave by feel, and, as mentioned, it seems easier with the hot water flowing and making steam.  I don't know if I'll keep with this when the weather gets warmer.
