    Default Wall mounted shaving mirrors

    I have been thinking of buying one, seems like it would be better than stretching my neck in front of the mirror over the sink. Has anyone used or have one of these. Any recommendations or ones to stay away from.

    I find my little counter top between two walls needs the big mirror across the back.
    The two shaving mirrors are mounted on either side of it.

    I find, at my age, they are useful for many more things than only shaving. Nose and ear hair bug me a lot so I try to keep it to a minimum. Double checking my mouth for "stuff" is also often done.

    Now, the ones with the fixed bar swiveling on a pivot connected to the wall wear out quickly. To the top left of the photo) The pantograph, old style seem to hold up forever. (On the right side)

    Wow....That set up kicks A$$! I so want a single pane mirror in my bathroom.... I like the smaller mirrors too.... I need one or both of those. The one we have has 3 mirror doors on the medicine cabinet. When one of them is slightly open....messes my vision up somewhat. I actually shaved tonight not wearing my glasses. I told my wife that and she looked to make sure I didn't cut an ear off......

    I too have been looking at adding one to my shave den. I actually have several saved on eBay but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I really don't want to spend more money.

    Mine is lighted and has an articulating arm. It's been in the same spot for 8-9 years. It's great for close work around the stash and goatee, and like Richard said, a bunch of other stuff. Hard to imagine shaving life without it.
