Hi all,
It's been a few weeks now and the SE razor is going well, a few nicks and cuts at first, but slowly getting the hang of it now.
I always have a shower before my shave and my question is,how do you guys keep the mirrors clear from steam? so far I have tried, opening all windows and doors, applying a de-mister which is used for cars, and an anti-fogging solution from an optician. I know it will clear eventually, but I would like to shave straight after a shower
Any ideas?
Cheers
Lather! Smear it on the glass, wipe it off, voila!
before the shower or after?
Soap solution like lather, i use a bit of shampoo without water and spread it lightly over the mirror.
On those rare occassions, on the few days of cooler weather that is taken for winter around these parts, I use my wifes hair-dryer to de-fog the mirror. Takes seconds only.

After - the same lather I make for the shave.Quote:

Do you have a fan in your bathroom? If so, turn it on and keep it on for the entire time. I've never had to give the mirror a pre-treatment this way.
Leave the door to the bath half open to aid in ventilation, use the fan if you have one, The lather on the mirror trick works well.
They sell anti fog mirrors-the portable kind.
get a space heater from bed&bath,set it on the counter,point towards mirror whilst in the shower,simple solutions.
Bob,
Take a shorter shower!!! Only shower for as long as it takes you to prepare your face. I take my brush in the shower with me and use my normal showering soap to lather up my face. Once I've done that I'm outta there, before the room becomes warmer and steamier than the mirror. Once the room is warm and steamy, the steam WILL condense on your mirror, but you already know that!
Not tried the lather on the mirror trick si I can't testify as to its effectiveness. But I will next time.
There is one more option, albeit a more expensive one. But, knowing that I am going to shave this way for evermore I am going to invest some hard earned candy when I refit my bathroom next year. You can but a HEATED mirror for your bathroom. Much the same as a heated windscreen in a car. Clear glass for your shave guaranteed!!!!
Good luck
Pete
Go to Scuba.com and get some of the 500psi mask defog (another 'cheap' pasttime, I know...)
Should be good on the mirror for a week or three I'd bet. The stuff only costs a few bucks.
Although, the lather trick is pretty swell, and cheaper...I'm definitely going to try ;)

Yep, this is what I do. Use the smallest one you can find, and start it a minute or two before you shower. Works perfectly.Quote:

The same squeegee works on the bathroom mirror -- wipes the fog off with two swipes.

I don't know if the top-rated product is available in North America, but you can buy #2 -- "Rain-X Anti-Fog".
