Thread: can't see the sideburn areas

Just to add to the consensus... Trying to see the sides of my head when shaving is tough (not being a flounder myself - though I guess a flounder has a REALLY tough time seeing the "other" side of it's face...) but I digress...

The solution was to swap sides with my wife and move my shaving area next to the medicine cabinet on the side of the sink area. That gives me a giant mirror in front of the sink and the medicine cabinet mirror to the side which I can open partway to see the sides of my head/face. Barring the ability to use a cabinet mirror, Tarkus has the right idea! Tom's comment about makeup gave me an idea too - seems one could use that magnifying mirror to trim ear and nose hairs between barber visits too.

try this with only one eye , I had to get myself a big adjustable lighted and magnified ! tc

No Way!!!!! I've been SR shaving for three months now and just learned how to do it by feel.... I just tried this in the mirror and it works amazingly well!!

Thank you!

+2 Left handed and dominant left eye. It took months to find a position easily spotting my right sideburn.

Can't give OP any advice only, when something's not working, try something else.

That thing about close to the mirror? I think a mirror caused a real nasty slice posted in Cut of the Day. I wouldn't be leaning too close.

Cut of the Day?!? glad I haven't come across that thread

Sideburns and neck are no problem to do by feel after awhile. Just keep a light touch and the blade moving...
