You do a whole striaght shave at the gym?!

By this do you ask what do I wash first or with whom do I share the soap?

For the fog:

I use a hair dryer, and open the door fog has never been an issue.

For the prep:

I use shampoo and this softens the beard well, get a great shave with this method.

Hair Dryer. Works every time.

I leave the door open...if there is fogging, I turn on the central a/c unit and viola!!! fog-be-gone.

if i ever finally get my own house my plan is to run the hot water pipes behind the mirror, not sure where i saw this idea but it seems like it should work.....right?

I leave the door open. If not, the hair dryer trick works great.

Maybe not. Code states that drywall has to be 5/8 thick to be fireproof, now, I could be wrong. This may just be for apartments and stuff. Homes, they can get away with more. I not sure if the heat would transmitt enough to prevent the mirror from fogging...

My first home in Florida needed re piping. In Florida, they put the pipes in the slab, so it's impossible to fix a slab leak, like I had. Sadly, You need to have the entire house re piped. My house was hit by lightning. Very common in Fl. It hit the base of the home like a bomb. All my copper pipes exploded, and it fried everything in my house. True story. Allstate Homeowner's picked up the tab.

When they re piped, they did run the pipes through the attic and made the drops into the bathroom behind the mirror like you said, Sadly, It didn't prevent them from fogging.

The home I'm in now has huge bathrooms with walk in closets and a seperate lavatory and shower. The bathroom counter and mirror aren't near the shower, so it does not fog up, but if it did, I'd do the hair dryer...
