These days men spend more time in the bathroom than they used to, and they take great care over their personal grooming and appearance. Now, it’s as likely to be women knocking at the bathroom door wondering when they might a turn!
One thing that has not changed over the years, of course, is that men need to shave. Not all men, admittedly. There are still beards and moustaches to be found, but they’re not currently as popular as they once were, and these days the trimming of a moustache or beard, or the cultivation of designer stubble probably needs as much attention as a full shave.
The tidiness of facial hair means that the practicalities are essential in a bathroom, and in particular a shaving mirror. A good quality shaving mirror is important to achieving a fine shave. The usual mirrors found in a bathroom are not really good enough for the job as they offer no flexibility at all. Any flexibility has to come from the user, who will have to perform face and neck contortions to get a decent view of parts of the face hard to reach with a razor.
A free standing shaving mirror is versatile and easy to use. Styles of mirrors can be both traditional and contemporary so that anyone should be able to find one that matches perfectly with your chosen bathroom style. Although manufacturers say that the favourite finish is a chrome, metal frame mirror, different finishes for shaving mirrors are available.
Most shaving mirrors come with magnification to assist in achieving a closer, more comfortable shave, and making sure no stray hairs are missed. Many mirrors are reversible as well, with different magnifications on each side of the mirror.
Extendable shaving mirrors can give even more flexibility to a mirror’s position making them even more easily useable, and meaning you can concentrate on your shave rather than just trying to find yourself in a mirror that won’t move.
As not everyone shaves in the bathroom – which can save time in the bathroom at rush-hour morning times – shaving mirrors can also be used in the bedroom, and there are a number of styles that will enable everyone to find a shaving mirror they need to suit the style of the. From a contemporary room design to a traditional design, there will be a mirror style to complement your room. Some even have decorative adornments.
Let’s be honest, shaving mirrors are not the preserve of the men in the house. The women quickly realise how shaving mirrors are a great assistance when applying make-up, and they will probably use the different magnifications on both sides of the mirror more than a man. It will end with the man finding that his mirror is always the wrong way round when he comes to shave! A good solution to this to buy two mirrors: a wall mounted mirror for shaving in the bathroom, and a pedestal mounted mirror for applying cosmetics in the bedroom!
A top-quality shaving mirror can be a wonderful gift that a man will use throughout his lifetime. Good shaving mirrors are a pleasure to give, whether to a friend or a family member, and will always be well received. Shaving mirrors can even be given as a corporate gift for a valued member of staff.
