I think this is the most important post I’ve read all year.

cool!

I just tried it a while ago, normally it takes no more than 15 seconds after the first drop from the shower head to fog it up …

i then tried it with just a normal bar of soap and it worked, and it does last quite long …

This is what i think, with the soap it give the mirror a coating of slick water on it which prevents fogging, as the fog just adds up to the thin layer of slickish water on the mirror … when u clean the mirror throughly again and let it dry u see it get fogged again …

cool!

I shave in the shower without a mirror. I run one hand around my face, feeling for the stubble, and follow close behind with my razor in the other hand. It’s faster than messing with a foggy mirror.

I should mention that I do use a mirror to even out my sideburns and catch any stray whiskers after I step out of the shower.

I should also mention that I’m a woman.

I use the crome part of the shower head as a reflective surface to shave from. eh.. works for me. Also pickup one of those new Gillette m3 shavers too. They work well. shave in shower > *

i knew some guys that scuba-dived (dove?) a while back, and they said that they used toothpaste for their masks to make them fog-free. apparently, the toothpaste worked better than anything else they tried. worth a shot perhaps.

Here is the solution:
http://www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&did=22&Product_ID=857&test=testpl

How it works: the reason things fog up, is because the temperature of the item it lower than the temperature of the air. When the super-humid air comes closer to the item, the air cools off, and can no longer hold onto all of that moisture, so it gets deposited on the item: in this case, a mirror.

What this set up does, is it let’s the same water you are showering with to flow in a cavity behind the mirror, bringing the mirror to the same temperature as the water: thereby eliminating the fog, and no special coating to wear off.

I usually lather some soap onto a wash cloth and wipe down the mirror right before shaving. I never lasts long though. I too, will try your technique.

You’ll soon find that the fog-free-ness after a good soaping is only temporary. I find it best to lather up some soap in my hand and then give the mirror a swipe. This gives me the necessary few minutes of fog-free-ness needed for a full shave. I’ll try the scrubbing motions you suggest and see if it is longer-lived.

I agree whole-heartedly! Shower shaving is the only way to go!

I love An Evening With Kevin Smith. It actually is a DVD box set – comprised of two DVDs. I found my copy in Best Buy, but you can also get it from his Website – viewaskew.com. He was supposed to be coming out with a second one called Another Evening With Kevin Smith, but I’m not sure if that is still happening or not.
