What part of her body was she shaving?

With his razor no doubt

I like to see the guy that I imagine in the mirror, not the guy who is actually looking back at me.

I’m surprised his face didn’t break the mirror long before this…

Given all the decades that have passed, a shaving mirror is redundant for me. It only serves to confirm how the years have changed the topography. Not pretty.

As you know My Sweet, it’s difficult to forget tall, dark and handsome.

… says Mrs. Dorian Gray.

I told you to never look in my mirror.

I don’t know what happened to the young girl that was in the mirror. Now there is an old lady. But, she’s OK, she looks like my grandmother.

It’s fine. I’m going to change my look anyway – now that I’m not shaving

Nooo! Then I’ll use you makeup mirror with the lights…

She just had to go and look in it.

I still recognize the face, its the rest of me that looks like heck

You do not need a mirror to shave. I wear a full beard, so I don’t shave at all, but for decades I did, always in the shower, and never with a mirror. I never cut myself and I always had a good shave.

Oops!

Yeah. She is that ugly. Actually, he’s not prince charming himself though….

“I am thankful I can not.”

“…and all I was doing was looking into it!”

Probably best for both of them.

With a face like that, he should grow a beard. So should she.

An interesting experiment, tape a photo of yourself on a mirror, then shave ……

…by looking at it.

Mark Twain used to get a lot of pictures from would-be look-alikes. He had a standard reply that ran something on the lines of “you look more like me than I do myself. From now on I will use your picture to shave by.”
