Hi there!

Thanks for chiming in with your story!
The mirror thing, for me, is not very important... I too find myself leaning over the bathroom mirror to touch up or even to get a closer look at what I am doing. But I find the bathroom mirror is quite enough to see what's going on, even when I get closer...
I once tried out one of those mirrors that are placed on the wall and have an arm that extends a bit... My girlfriend has one in her bathroom and uses it for finer detail on putting on some make up. So I tried to shave with it once and I have to say that I wasn't impressed... I mean... it seems to be a bit too small and the side that makes the reflexion bigger is of no use at all... at least for me. I guess the problem was that it was at a height that didn't suit my purposes. I guess I'll have to try it again some time just to make sure...
If you think it might be the right thing for you, go ahead. I'd suggest not spending much money on it... Is there a IKEA store around your town? IKEA has good and cheap mirrors like that (for instance, the one I told you about...) and might be worth a shot before you go ans spend 40 bucks on a mirror that you just might end up not using. I mean... those 40 bucks are good for RAD, right?

Nevermind the joke...

Hope this helps...
Take care!
