Thread: Shaving Mirrors

I found a nice adjustable double sided mirror at Target for less than 35$. Came with all the mounting hardware, I think it is supposed to be a makeup mirror cause it has a built in light that illuminates your face. Just don't use the high magnification side or you'll end up bumping the razor on the mirror.

IKEA Extendable / Telescopic Cosmetic Wall Mirror, Shaving / Make Up Mirror (Water Resistant): Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

I have this one. have been using it for the better part of 2+ years. The nice thing about it is SWMBO likes it because she can utilize it as well. One of my few shaving items I don't have to hide everyday.

Oh, and yes it's from Ikea, yes it's cheap, and yes it works.

Exactly! My girlfriend will use this mirror as well. But I guess I'm picky, I want something with a little style and class. I went to ikea to look at that mirror. Yes it could work for me, but it isn't what I want. The quality of it is just so low, no offense.

For some reason I can't see the image. I'll try another computer when I get a chance.

One more vote for the Ikea mirror. I've also had one for a year and a half, maybe two. As said, it's not a-bomb proof, but it really is sturdy. I've used it every day up until last month when I moved after the wedding. The new wife and I have been kind of busy, and I haven't gotten around to mounting it in the new place yet. And, just like vgod's, my wife loves it too.

I find it hard to believe that no one makes a product that will last you your life anymore, its sad. So I'm turning to the forum in hopes of some knowledge and/or advice.

So, where does one get a well made mirror these days? Every store I've been to sells the same basic junk. I want something that feels like it could survive an atomic blast. Something that can take abuse and everyday use (that rhymed). Something wall mounted. Sigh... what happend to quality...

Anyways thanks so much for taking the time to read this

Three months ago I remodeled the shave den and found a wide range of shaving mirrors at CSN Mirrors.com...give it a try a see...I purchased an extendable arm mirror for $80 that looks like its going to last till the next ice age. Like the one shown in the pic below. HOG

Thanks so much for the recommendation it looks like the have a huge selection
