    Default Wall mounted shaving mirrors

    I have been thinking of buying one, seems like it would be better than stretching my neck in front of the mirror over the sink. Has anyone used or have one of these. Any recommendations or ones to stay away from.

    I find my little counter top between two walls needs the big mirror across the back.
    The two shaving mirrors are mounted on either side of it.

    I find, at my age, they are useful for many more things than only shaving. Nose and ear hair bug me a lot so I try to keep it to a minimum. Double checking my mouth for "stuff" is also often done.

    Now, the ones with the fixed bar swiveling on a pivot connected to the wall wear out quickly. To the top left of the photo) The pantograph, old style seem to hold up forever. (On the right side)

    Wow....That set up kicks A$$! I so want a single pane mirror in my bathroom.... I like the smaller mirrors too.... I need one or both of those. The one we have has 3 mirror doors on the medicine cabinet. When one of them is slightly open....messes my vision up somewhat. I actually shaved tonight not wearing my glasses. I told my wife that and she looked to make sure I didn't cut an ear off......

    I too have been looking at adding one to my shave den. I actually have several saved on eBay but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I really don't want to spend more money.

    Have your SO look at Goodwill and Savers, occasionally. Both of the ones shown were under $10. There are some other styles also.
    The single pivot type are cool but unwieldy for use and wear out quickly enough to cause wall damage under the small pivot due to friction when moving the mirror..

    Thanks for this! I've been looking for ideas on how to manage a second mirror so I can shave the back of my neck without handholding a mirror. Found an accordion style magnifying mirror on Amazon for $39.99.
