    I got one of these mirrors and mounted it Friday night and used it Saturday (yesterday) morning for the first time. Very nice to be able to get close and see what is going on with the angles and problem spots.

    I've got the same mirror from IKEA and have it mounted like Franks. It's pretty handy, especially the magnified side

    I have been using my wife’s 10X, lighted makeup mirror for years. I shave in front of the bathroom mirror, then do my clean up water only pass in front of the magnified makeup mirror.

    Buy the lighted, magnified mirror, it will improve your shave. It has a circular fluorescent bulb that lights the perimeter of the mirror and lights your face very well.

    I recently saw a similar one at Costco for around $30.

    Don't forget that these mirrors can also be found in Goodwill's and charity stores for next to nothing. I found mine at my local Good will for $3 USD.

    Yup, i got flack from my wife for it at first, but i am pretty sure she uses it too now. You can pick up the unlit ones that are magnified on one side for about $15 from ebay.
