for about the first week of living in my new home, i got ready for work each morning without a mirror. though i do cherish every second i dont have to look at my ugly mug, it did complicate a couple of things. shaving, for example, becomes exponentially difficult the less you can actually see where youre sticking that razor.
i didnt have a chance to buy a mirror for a few days because: (1) my schedule was ridiculously chaotic, (2) stores close early in small towns, and (3) i didnt even know where to go to buy one.
long story short, i did what i feel any technologically savvy boy would do in this situation: i opened up my laptop, turned on my webcam, and shaved while looking at a digital image of myself. the only downside of this procedure, of course, is the small neck-beard hairs i found in my keyboard later that day. but oh well. mission accomplished.
an age-old problem solved in a 21st century style; i think this deserves at least a merit badge in techie nerdery. ill assume one is on the mail.

A much easier way to accomplish the same result is to light your beard on fire. It works for Bill Murray, Edward James Olmos, and Danny Trejo.
option one, you just borrow one from a neighbor being also a good excuse to get to know them.
option two, you tell to your kids that as an assignment they have to bring one from from home the next day to play a game, at the end of the game you return all the mirrors except the one you like the most.
