Mirror SetUp

[joejmcnulty]

I have realized, with some of your help, that my mirror setup is keeping me from being able to get to certain areas of my face while shaving with my straight. I think this would help with using my non-dominant hand as well.

Currently, I have a plain oval mirror only. There are two walls to my left and right that I could mount something, but I don't want to mount two huge mirrors.

Could anyone give me some ideas of how your mirror set up is that helps you in your straight shaves?

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Just a mirror that is on the medicine cabinet.

Just one mirror on the wall in front of the sink. Sometimes I think one at the sides might help but then I realize it would probably just confuse me.

Just the one mirror over the sink here, but I'm not afraid to get up close when I need to. The only time I have trouble is trying to line up my right sideburn, but I just hold the blade the other way around on that part so my hand/arm is behind my ear.

i have just one mirror also. granted it's enormous, but i think the key is being able to find the line of sight angles that work for you.

I have a bunch of movements where i turn my head down or up and twist while looking to the extreme side. and some strokes are just blind for a 1/2 second...
