so i've recently become incresingly aware that shaving in the shower is a fantastic idea to not only facilitate my morning routine, but cut down on razor burn while getting a closer shave.

i've used some "fogless" mirrors in the past, but have been enormously disappointed with the results as they always tended to fog up anyway, or fall down in mid-shave.

so i pose this question to the masses, what brand (and link) is the best fogless mirror to buy?

Get a mirror with the "power lock" suction cup. Its the one where you fold it down. They rarely fall down.

You could always use the old diver's trick.

1. Spit on mirror
2. Rub spit around the mirror with your hand
3. Rinse spit off mirror
4. Profit

You may think it sounds odd, but it works. Give it a try.

Yeah, shaving in the shower is great and with a little practice you'll get to where you don't need a mirror.

I haven't used a mirror in years.

Used to do this with paintball goggles before they had fancy anti fog ones.

I think if you put a thin layer of shaving cream on the mirror and rinse it off you get the same effect. YMMV

I have tried and failed to find a good anti fog mirror for the very same reason. I just quit shaving and use a 1 guard on a beard trimmer now. The ladies love the five oclock shadow.

Seriously... it is as easy to shave by feel as it by sight.

It's a freaking mirror. Who the hell remembers what brand of mirror they bought?

BTW, another tip would be to put it at the opposite end of the shower, and not near the shower head itself.

I also would like to know the info on this, as I could use one myself.

have you tried rainX, might work.

It works on windshields.

My fogless mirror stopped being fogless and I tried Rainx. Did not work and actually made it worse!

i have one of these. i had the same problem, that after about a month of use, it fogged up almost instantly when i got in the shower. well i am a scuba diver and use a fogless solution on my mask. so i gave that a shot. works for about 2 weeks then i add another coat. try it out. go to a diving store in your area and find some mask defogger.
