I got one that was supposed to be fogless... It was the first time I used it... Not anymore.... I just run some hot water on it or smear a little soap on it....

I've been shaving in the shower without a mirror for years. It took a couple weeks but you get the hang of it pretty quickly. Well worth giving it a try. Once you get it down you'll wonder why you didn't start it years ago.

I shave in the shower without a mirror, but there are times when I think it would be nice to have a mirror. I'd be impressed if someone could come up with a fogless mirror. It's more about temperatures than chemical make-up. Take a shower with cold water and you'll have a fogless mirror.

I use the kind that screws in between the outlet and shower head. It trickels a low stream of water bypassing the shower head to heat the mirror. Works great, I have used them for many years.

Either that or having it plug into the wall with an electric heating element.

There is a product skiers have used for years to keep their goggles from fogging up. It's rather improbably called "CAT CRAP". Works like a charm. I see no reason why it shouldn't also work on your shower mirror.
Google it. Comes in little red tubs.

Found the cat crap, thanks, and for all with suggestions. if it's all about equalizing the mirror temp to the air temp, also thinking of mounting a mirror on a shallow Tupperware(TM) container (or similar) that I can fill up with hot water and then hang on the wall/over the shower arm.

You can smear some shaving cream on the mirror while you are taking a shower, rinse it off, and it won't fog up. Works like a charm, David
