    Cool Does anyone else use a 10x Magnifying Mirror?

    I might be the only one, but does anyone else finish up a shave with a magnifying mirror? I do two passes in a normal mirror, then flip it over for my third pass. It really lets me chase down those sneaky whiskers that I missed on my first two passes. Just wondering.

    No. But I have been wondering; is that what those extending shave mirrors do? I've seen them installed next to wall mirrors and can't work out why you'd need it.

    I hung one when I started but found the mirror even at no magnification to be distracting. Now it's just another thing I need to clean in my shave oasis.

    I have one on the wall. I use it when shaving under my nose and when shaving the chin. When you get used to it it´s hard to manage without.

    Yup use the wife’s lighted magnified mirror on her makeup table, to do a final check, usually get a couple problem hairs under my nose or at the corner of my mouth.

    The light and the magnification are great.

    I cant live without my mag. mirror. My eye sight now that I'm an old fart makes it hard to see properly. I originally bought it to supplement the standard bathroom mirror. But now I use it 100% of the time.
    Love it.

    I gave one of those to the wifey years ago. It's almost identical to the one in the picture except for the finish. I use it all the time. Really helps when detailing around the stash and goatee.
