Thread: bifocals

Just recently got put in some bifocals and have been having a tough time with straight shaving. I know we go on feel and that is what I have been doing, but I'm also a visual guy.

Any tips?

On another note, no old jokes.

Kilowattoldman doesn't have the same ring to it.

Hey Kilo
I as of late have been finding it harder & harder to see up close & personal as well. I could never shave with my cheaters on so what I did was buy a magnifer mirror to see up close. I have that mirror inches from my melon & I love it. It also keeps me from leaning over the sink at the wall mirror.



And yes my shave den is pink Insert joke here______________________________________________ ___________.

Too bad you were not going deaf, then you could use Killowattidyousay?

I have been in bifocals for 40 years. I have learned to shave sans glasses and it has not been an issue for me. I am always
around 20" from the bathroom mirror.

I purchased a pair of readers to shave in. Works great!

i wear em also , it bugs me also , i do alot of feeling and guessing !! i assume ill develope a certain way that makes it easier though !!

I've been wearing them for 20 years and I also shave without them. I can see well enough. I guess it really depends. We aren't all using the same prescription.

Unfortunately, I have been wearing glasses since I was 5 years old. When I take them off, I can barely see if there is dirt in my fingernails at arms length.

I kind of like the magnified mirror deal. I'll try this and remain open to any other ideas.

Thanks guys.

I'm blinder than any bat you could meet without my glasses but have been wearing contacts for 50 years. Always put them in before I shave. If a time comes when I'm unable to wear them I think the magnifier mirror would be the way to go. Contacts nowadays are not expensive, are VERY easy to use and have the advantage of not steaming up or getting rained on. A reasonable way to go for some perhaps.
