Pro tip: Check your mirror's reflection before you trust it for blending

I was finishing a high skin fade on a regular last week, and he politely asked if I was left-handed because my blending looked perfect on one side but choppy on the other. Turns out, my main wall mirror was slightly warped, making the back of the head look fine when it wasn't. Has anyone else had a tool or setup trick them like that?

Ever check your clippers' lighting?

Oh man, mirrors are sneaky like that... I had a similar thing with my old hand mirror, the glass was loose and gave a weird fishbowl effect. Now I always double-check with a second, smaller mirror in my other hand to compare angles. It's a pain but it catches those hidden flaws.
