I think it's as simple as the fact that, like everybody else, you almost never see your face in a discriminatory-context, where you need to recognize it.
And that's why I sometimes shave the wrong person. I don't know why all the fuss.

when you look at something your brain/ eyes are only focused on one part of it. Look at your computer monitor... You clearly see the part you're focusing on, but everything around that area on your monitor is somehow out of focus, even though your eyes are perfectly focused to the distance of the other areas... It's the same with memory. When you remember an image, your brain is only focusing on the specific target area you're remembering, even though the whole thing is present. One exercise you can try which I heard about on a brain speed enhancment excercise website, is to look at an image or object, focus on all of the seperate details of it, then look away or close your eyes and think of that image, then try to one by one put all of the seperate specific pieces where they go, then once everything you remember about the image is in place, try to see it all at once. You still can't! because your brain can only focus on one specific part of the image at a time.
If you believe anything I post, you're either new, or stupid.
Try it though... I dare you.
