Although over a hundred pounds for mirror appears excessive, you will immediately notice the difference. I previously used 2 times magnification mirror for shaving but on using the imira I found numerous areas where I failed to remove hairs. With the large mirror area and different lighting options, there are no black spots. Each side of your face is equally visible with no shadow. NB the only problem with this mirror is every wrinkle and blemish are noticeable! Originally posted on www.ekohome.co.uk
