hello fellow chrome domes: Do U participate in mirror or mirrorless headshaving? i'll start: i participate in "mirrorless" headshaving when i "do the deed" in the shower. however... when my wifey shaves my noggin' she uses the mirror.
so... how 'bout U? mirror? or mirrorless? what's your story?

great topic Hawk,
I use a electric in front of a mirror. I shave my face in the shower and have a fogless mirror in there. So I always use a mirror. O0

Warhawk, glad to see you're still cranking out the topic ideas! Man, you're creative! I have a fogless mirror in the shower but I usually shave at the sink and do use a mirror when I shave the back of my head - I just feel better knowing for sure I got all that crazy hair.

May 30th, 08... went sly on that date in 07 after being on here for just a few days... had been buzzing it down on my own every week and was given some great encouragement by this community, took the plunge, and have been shaving ever since... mostly every other day as I get some irritation on the base of my head but never more than that - it gets itchy!

Fog-less mirror is an oxymoron.
I've tried 2 or 3 and they always get foggy after a few months or so after the coating wears off >:(
-
Hawk, I use 2 actually. Shave in front of the mirror, and use the hand mirror to check the back end to make I am sly 360 every morning before heading out the door. But I have tried it mirror-less before, but feel like I need to be using the force or something........
-
Mirror shaver here. I have, and can do it without one though, like when I go camping. Carrying a mirror into a shower house will get you some odd looks.
-
Mirror-less here. Shave in the shower 95 percent of the time and do some touch up work at the sink.
-
As a sink shaver I too do the two mirror bit. Though since I must have coarse hair or something I have found that I tend to shave by the sound of the blades on the hair. When there is no sound then I am smooth and slick
-
Warhawk....if your wife shaves your head for you.....why in the world would she need to use the mirror....is she like wayyyy shorter than you or something and she needs it to see the top of your head or what? LOL....
I am mirror-less. I stand in the shower...close my eyes and I am like a blind man. Its amazing what you can feel with your hands when your eyes are closed. ooohhhhhh! LOL

Mirror over the sink, except that in back it's the braille & squeaky Fusion method (my Fusion squeaks when there's no more hair there), except once a week when I clean up my neck--the hair there is "visible" but I can't feel it very well.

Another post that belongs in the "Alrighty then!" thread. >:D

Same here. I can do it without a mirror, but it's just much easier to use one. Interesting that this thread came up, because I would have been embarrassed to admit that. I thought I was the only one that still relied on the mirror. :)
-
I'm a sink shaver and stand in from of the mirror. But I do the back of my head by feel and also to make sure that there are no rough spots.

I also shave by mirror and sound

My cheapy (<$10 ) one from Wal-Mart has lasted me more than 3 years. I just do the 'spit on the mirror and smear' trick, then splash/rinse and shave. I could shave without a mirror, but it just makes life easier and cuts down on time for me.
-
I haven't found a mirror that works in the shower either... with the HeadBlade, I really don't need a mirror anyway. O0
-
in the shower with a mirror for the face and front. back is by sound and feel.
-
I can shave very well in the shower mirror-less, it's how I started with my HB. My new home has a bathroom with a clear shower stall, and I can see my noggin' in the mirror.
I still don't really need it, and I do the back entirely by feel.
I will finish up with any of my 3 "go to" razors that happen to be in rotation. It's usually my Atra or Sensor.
Like Paul, I also use the sound method when cleaning up, hence the "scraping" sound, lol. ;)
-
The sound thing works for me too, I can always tell when I nick myself by the sounds coming from the shower... and so can everyone else in the neighborhood! :*))
-
I'm a sink shaver and use a mirror, but not for the back of my head. I use the Stevie Wonder method for the back.

I've got it down to a science. It's all touch and feel for me. No mirror for me.
-
I'm a shower shaver and use a mirror... but I don't really need it.......it's habit i guess.
-
I shave in the shower, no mirror just feel. I shave with one hand and run the other behind the blade to make sure its smooth. After im done with the headblade and before I rinse off the shaving gel I run my hands over my head just to make sure...
-
I'm trying to become a 'shower shaver' but after a lifetime of shaving at the sink it's a daunting process. I'm going to get a shower (no fog) mirror and try it out. The ideal is to do it by feel, but I still have a long way to go on getting that method perfected.

Red, just take your time and go slow. You will find it eventually gets quite easier.
I started with my HB by feel, and in a short while it does feel like an extension of your hand. It works best in my opinion.
-
I still need a mirror...I'd end up having racing stripes on my head without one
-
I don't use a mirror. I listen to Yoda and use the force.

WOW, I thought I was the only one who did that.
