Thread: Shaving without two mirrors

Though it takes getting used to. For me in the beginning, I found it easier to shave the back of my head without looking than to use a mirror. It just felt like I was combing what used to be there. The old muscle memory thing and all. I rarely get any cuts. But I will say I do use a mirror because sometimes I can easily miss a spot if I am not careful, especially close to behind the ears.

Whatever works for you. I like to have both hands free: one for stretching, one holding the straight (obviously!). I suppose you could rig up a second mirror but it's a lot of what my grandmother used to call "farting around" when, with a little bit of training and practice, you can just do it by feel.

Sounds like you had a cool grandmother!

Was your grandma Aunty Jack ?

If in a pinch I use my thumb and forefinger on my weaker hand stretched out over the back of my neck to create a barrier, use the same fingers to gauge where I need to go over again.
