So the move to warm to cool to cold shower was no biggie.

This also gives you more time to shave BTW...

But then I still use the terms "deck" "overhead" "bulkhead" and "hatch"...

My method is just rubbing some shaving foam onto the mirror then rubbing it off. As long as you don't touch the mirror afterwards it stays fog free for a rather good time (current application is coming up on 3 weeks).

Plus it's also a good way to get rid of the canned foam I've still got from before I started using soaps.

The wife cracked a mirror last winter doing that! :drop jaw: it is a large mirror mounted on an outside wall so was obviously cold, so be careful!!

P.S. There is an automotive windshield product that works real well, just can't remember the name, might be Rain-X or something.

I also use a hair dryer on my mirrors, it takes the fog right out and heats the glass enough, that the condensation wont reform. Works great.

I think I will have to start a forearm de-latherers club. It is really easy and convenient. Also if you have razor with a swayback it is a perfect forearm de-latherering tool.
I tens to do as MJC and use my razor spine to clear my forearm. However my razors don't see water I just pinch a towel around them to clean them then strop on leather.

Shave with cool water

Use an extractor and leave the door open

I shave and then shower. I use enough water while shaving to get the hot water to the bathroom and my shower starts out warm.

Yup as noted above...take your leftovah shave cream out of the scuttle and smear it all ovah your Mirrah and then wipe clean with a papah towel....works great !!!
