Bathroom Mirror with light

[tabbypurr]

Phones as mirrors are useless in practice.

Do you find you're more likely to smudge your lipstick?

[The Natural Philosopher]

but the tiles were stood off the wall :-)

Yet I see young women using their phones as make-up mirrors

[tabbypurr]

can't say I've ever had that problem. A few quid of 1,950 year old technology beats the latest computer.

You do know you can flip the image so it looks like a mirror even if you are using the camera? You don't have to struggle with having the wrong hand holding your lipstick/eyelash thickener.

[tabbypurr]

lol, no I don't have to struggle with that. But what on earth does flipping the image have to do with anything?

That's best answered by a bit of DIY: try wet shaving using a camera and screen in place of a mirror. With a cut throat razor if you are really, really sceptical.

Well that is something your daughter has told you, unless you have something to confess....

[ARW]

Trains are full of them doing that.

But the shaver socket that the OP has will be a 2 gang fitting.

And record it for YouTube.

[dennis]

A live (for now) stream would be good.

I thought they always did that by default, when in selfie mode. When you actually take a photo/video, they "usually" put the image the "right way round" for the saved image/video, i.e. as if someone is looking at you, but sometimes not, as is seen from YouTube videos.

You get the same effect as with a real mirror, stupid.

[Brian Reay]

We?ve got a these in both bathrooms and wouldn?t be without them- although I don?t use the shaver socket, I can?t get on with electric razors.

Both of ours have a shallow metal box behind the glass which keeps the glass maybe an inch from the wall. It is virtually as large as the mirror. It is hollow, mostly empty ( it contains the electronics but they don?t take much space). The fitting instructions show it against the wall, rather than sunk into it.

Provided your new mirror covers the existing power outlet, it will cover it and solve your problem.

My only regret is not getting the version with radio in. I like Classic FM in the morning.

[tabbypurr]

I've tried it, and can assure you one does not. But hey, keep spouting toilet content as always.

Corse you do with how the hand is seen to move etc, f****it.

[tabbypurr]

lol, what is the point of you coming here making such a wally of yourself?

[Swer]

Yu never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag.
