Shower Mirror keeps fogging...........
« on: October 20, 2009, 11:27:48 PM »
I know this might seem redundent to all you seasoned shavers, but am looking for a solution to shower mirror not to fog up.  I have tried everything they say ie: toothpaste, shaving cream, car wax, shampoo.... you name it, but still fogs? any ideas besides throwing mirror in trash?

I have posted this many times, but when I used one, I always spit on the mirror, smeared it around, and then rinsed it off... never failed.  This apparently is a diver's trick too, spitting into your mask, etc.  BTW, welcome - nice looking dome you have there.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

That's gross Stu but... I have never found a fog-less mirror that actually worked!  :(

I use a product called Z'Fogless that's sold by the same comapny that makes fogless mirrors.  The sad truth is that mirrors just don't retain their fog free properties.

I use it about once a week and it keeps my shaving mirror fog free.  It's cheap and a bottle last a long time.

Just spray it once every couple weeks with just about any Method brand cleaning product (bathroom spray, all-surface spray, whatever) (available at Target, Home Depot, etc.)

An occasionla shot of WD40 will keep it fog free. DO NOT spray the WD40 directly onto the mirror because if it gets behind the mirror it will dissolve the adhesive keeping the mirror on the casing.
Spray the WD40 onto a rag and wipe the mirror with the rag.

I just wipe it down with some soap or shaving cream.  It's not a permanent solution, but it keeps it clear long enough to shave.

Spit on it, and rub that around.  It works well.
