Thread: Steamed up mirror solution

The best solution I have found are the mirrors made by the shavewell Company
I have been using the travel mirror for most of my shave for over a year now.
I got mine from executive shaving in the U.K.
These are an American made product that is a charity that helps disabled people. So not only are they a great mirror but when you buy one of their products you are helping a good cause as well .
Cheers Paul

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

Yes. its called , anti fog by rain x
Works great.

There are a few methods I've found. One is to shower with cool water that doesn't create a steam. Turning on the vent fan seems to keep the mirror from fogging up as well. Opening the door to let the steam out and using a few squares of toilet paper to sop up the moisture on the glass clears it pretty quick if I forget to turn the fan on.

Thanks Paul looks like a handy mirror. Just going to have a look online for them. Cheers Kenny.

With the exhaust fan going I do not have a fog issue.

The Rainex works great but in the Old days, we used a small cloth bag of Bull Durham Tobacco in our log trucks to wipe the inside of windows with, works very well.

If a mirror is sealed in so water doesn't affect it, just run it under hot water for a few seconds and wipe off, the heat will keep the fog off too.

During the cold months I use an Altoid alcohol stove to heat up the bathroom before I shower so I don't use a lot of hot water constantly chasing comfortable warmth. I always tried to play with placing it for even tile heating, but once I realized that it heated the mirror I now burn a smaller one on the lip of the sink as I shower. I used to soap my mirror but I couldn't figure out how to do it without compromising a crystal clear image in the mirror. I like the hair dryer idea mentioned previously, and any other solution that heats the mirror. Think about a glass filled with iced beverage on a humid day, and a fresh, hot cup of coffee next to it would be bone-dry on the outside.

I have an all glass shower. I use this on the inside of the shower glass and walls. Applied monthly, I never have water spots or fogged up glass and we have very hard water. Not having water spots to clean is a blessing. Really cuts down on the number of time we have to clean the glass in the shower.
