I figured since I knew where my face was and where my hand was, and therefore where my razor was, and could also feel it touching skin, I didn't need a mirror for shaving, and I didn't. An awareness is needed, but eyes-on is not. In fact on another forum we had a member who was blind and shaved with a straight razor. I think reading the forum threads was more of a bother than shaving, for him.

I kinda agree with CCR.

It's not what your looking at, it's letting your mind become distracted from the task at hand. In reality, how many things do u do daily, instinctively without thought. But if distracted while in progress, screws us all up. Just saying.

But hey...we can blame it on our age..right.
