Title: TWO MIRRORS
Post by: TANK25 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 a mirror up front and I feel if the back is smooth.  You can't really tell by looking anyway 8)

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.

Nope. Go by feel.

I still use two mirrors as I'm still too scared. I tried without it a couple of times and was pretty successful until I shaved over a bump on the back of my head. It hurt like hell and I had to shave around it for a long time  :'(

Yeah: hit a fingernail two or three times.  Its annoying and you get a jagged bit half way down the nail that can last for days >:(

If I do shave at the sink, which is very rare, I use the one mirror and go by feel for the back.
Not hard to do once you get used to it.

I am a bath or shower guy, and go completely by touch and feel.  Works great for me! :@`

I use a mirror at a sink that has this cool trifold in it.
I can turn the two outer sides in a little, look in one to the other and see the back of my head perfectly! I suggest you try it some time! haha
