Shaving Mirror

**rickboone** · 10-31-2010, 01:21 AM

I've always wanted one of these. Almost got one on a stand many times, but bathroom doesn't have the space. I liked the idea of the ones on the arm, but they're pricey. Furthermore, I didn't really feel the need for one. In the hotel there's one on an arm mounted to the wall. Did a nice slow and relaxing shave with it. (That 3x side is tricky). Well, I will be buying one now. That thing makes it really nice to shave with! I actually got a closer shave. I could spend more focus on my shave and see what to do better.

I got this mirror from amazon:

Amazon.com: Gatco 1439SN Accordian Arm Wall Mount Mirror, Satin Nickel: Home Improvement

It's a bit pricey but should last the rest of my life and then some. I personally love this mirror, it is solidly constructed, has great glass and is rock solid when extended. I lather with the bathroom mirror and shave with the Gatco.

Timely topic. I'm looking at getting one of the screw to the wall ones on the scissor arms. I've used one a few times in hotels whilst travelling and they are pretty good. I don't think that I'd want to be paying $140+ dollars for one though. Ikea sell one for around $20 that I'll probably end up getting.

Dang, $20??? Not bad.

That's the exact one I have in my bathroom, flip it over and and it gives an even closer view, had it for over 15 years, who knew it would work out so well for straight shaving. When I'm done, I can push it back, turn it sideways, and it sits flush against the wall. And the fact that you can move it around makes it even more convenient.

Fantastic accessory - never thought about it really until I saw this post!!

edit:frank47 - haha - have mine mounted the exact way! Push it back and it sits flush!
