I finally cut my own hair instead of paying for a trim

My barber raised his price to $35 plus tip, so I was looking at close to $45 every six weeks. I watched a few videos, bought a decent pair of clippers for $30, and gave it a shot last Sunday. The first try was a bit choppy around the ears, but after a second pass it looked fine. I figure the clippers will pay for themselves in two cuts, and I'm saving over $300 a year now. It's not a perfect salon job, but for a basic guy's cut, it works. Has anyone else tried this and found a good method for the back?

Getting the back even is the real test. My bathroom mirror setup is a mess. I ended up using my phone camera on video mode, propped it up on the sink, and just turned around slowly. It was a weird angle but it showed me the spots I missed. Still took a few tries to not look like a hack job.

What's your trick for getting the back even without a second mirror?
