There’s no mirror in the tub! And although you’d think that beard trimming is the kind of activity you could do by feel, you’d be surprised at how bad I am at it.

They want 45 WHATS for a mirror? I might actually go take this advice and get me a 2 dollar handheld from Wal-Mart, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna spend 45 clams on a mirror that’s 9.5" round.

I got a square mirror with four suction cups that sticks to the shower wall. I found it at Target and it was probably less than ten bucks. It fogs up sometimes but a splash of hot shower water clears it. I shave my face and head in the shower every day.
