TWO MIRRORS
« on: February 09, 2009, 09:31:39 AM »
This is more for guys who shave at the sink. Do you use two mirrors ,so you can see the back of your head while shaving?

While I go mostly by feel and sound, I do use the two mirror approach to avoid slicing myself.

I'm a sink (after shower) shaver, but I rarely use an additional mirror (except to admire my shiny globe).  I shave the back side by feel.  (Timmay, I'm talking about the back of my head here.   ;D)

Just one mirror. Do the rest by touch. And then my 8 year old daughter likes to carry out a quality control check and informs me if I have done a good job or otherwise. That was the girl who didnt like it when I first shaved

I used two mirrors until just a few months ago.  I decided it was time to take off the training wheels.   ;D

That's what I used to think but it's not that bad once you get the hang of it.

Just the one mirror, I can tell by feel if I've missed a bit.

Got to be careful but, sometimes I shave a finger of the other hand that's searching for

stubble!  ;D

I have always used just 1 mirror at the sink.  The back is done totally  by feel.  It's not that hard to do.
