    Default How do you guys do showers.

    Alot of people prep for a shave with a hot shower, how? If I take a semi-warm shower I can't see out of the mirror for 20 minutes. I'v tried wiping it off with a wet cloth, with a towel. Nothing works. How do you guys do it?

    Put a little bit of shaving soap on the mirror and rub it all over.

    If you can't leave the door open or don't have a fan, try putting a cloth or towel over the mirror while you shower.

    Run a blow dryer on high for a few seconds/minutes and then wipe off the mirror. It keeps the cold air from coming in

    When my mirror gets fogged, I splash some hot water on it and wipe it off with a dry towel. Once the glass is hot, vapor won't condense on it anymore. Leaving the door open will also help, if you don't mind letting some of the heat out.

    I have an excellent ventilation / fan system in my bathroom that takes care of the fogging problems.

    The other thing that works is toothpaste. Just smear some on and polish it in and it'll stop fogging.

    I also leave the door open to help with that problem!

    I only shave at the gym so I don't have that problem.
