Corrected entry: Just as Sweeney finishes singing "My Friends", while kneeling and staring at his own reflection in one of his old straight razors, Mrs. Lovett bends down with her face just above and behind his left shoulder. But as he slowly rotates the blade to reveal the reflection of Mrs. Lovett's face, her reflection appears to the right of his (as he sees it on the blade's surface). This could only be the case if her face were over his right shoulder, not his left.

Correction: The razor acts as a mirror, making his left shoulder look like his right. I was confused, too, by it until a friend pointed it out. He starts out looking at one side, but turns the razor to the right and we see the reflection off the back of the razor. I've watched the scene multiple times.
