Any shower experts here?

Hi! I'm a fan of hot showers but after its too foggy inside And it's hard to shave then cause I to wait some time. How to make a mirror not fog? Any special mirrors?

Thank everybody for your help! Now I want to share my researches with you Ive been reading different articles and blogs about grooming and then I came across the site http://www.mistershaver.com/%E2%9C%A...hower-mirrors/ which offers anti-fog mirrors for shaving. They cost not much and perfectly deal with the issue! I bought one with a holder for my razor and it's really good for its price! So you don't have to bother with liquids cover on your regular mirror haha
Has anybody tried one of them?

Wipe a bit of soap on shaving mirror and shave in the shower

Or, staying with the car forum theme, use this on the mirror

If you have proper ventilation in the bathroom (ceiling vent) nothing fogs.
Alternatively, take showers with water that is only warm, or even cold. I find that barely warm/cold showers leave me feeling much better and much less lethargic.

Better for you too. Hot showers dry out your skin and hair. And if he follows my advice and grows a beard instead, cold rinsing at the end is good for the beard!

I've been showering for 22 years so far so I have decades of experience...

Take a warm/cold shower!

Where are your certifications though? Can't be an expert without a certification.

I've been showering for 40 years and can confirm this works. Just keep the faucet knob set to cold and it will totally fix your fogging issue.

I have been showering for 50 years and until age 16 we only had a 10 gallon water heater and a low pressure well pump so I dodn't even know there was a such thing as a hot shower.
