Of course you can make a non reversing mirror if you are careful to put the

very perturbing because you are used to seeing the asymmetries in your
shaving mirror. When they are reversed you look lopsided.

Have them look at their live image in the monitor of a digital camera.
There will be no L/R reversal.
