Welcome to the club.  You won't use the mirror after a while.   

[Ming the Merciless]

A point (from a cheapskate): unless you are taking a "navy shower," which means wet yourself down, turn off the water, soap up, (shave?) and then rinse off--think of the waste of hot water if you take time to shave under running water as well as wash the bod.  Well, I live where everything is expensive, so a long shower is something I feel profligate in taking--even when I'm at my school's gym and it's the taxpayer's money that underwrites the hot water.  We have high (sky-high) taxes, too.

But my hair is on the fine side, so it's in good soft shape for a shave at the sink, post-shower.  I suppose there are guys with barbed-wire hair out there who welcome as much follicular wetting as they can get...

Shower shaving is the best.... and no.... those mirrors don't stay fog free forever.

Marc, welcome, I used to do the sink shave, then I read how lots of these guys liked the shower shave so I tried it, I don't use a mirror, I do it by touch and I can get the job done pretty good. Yea, it feels good to do my workouts, then since I'm gonna shower anyway, I just shave there too. Feels great and it all gets done in one step.

Ming, I've never taken a 'navy shower,' I was army and if I took an army shower, I'd need a helmet, those days have passed long ago.

Oh, by the way, can't you make a regular mirror fogless by putting some of that rainguard for windshields on it?

[balddaniel]

Marc,

I have a fogless mirror in the shower and I love it.  You can see yourself shave top and sides and feel for the rest.  It's great.  Go for it.

[Gambrinus]

Johnnyo I've heard that you can use shaving foam.  Spray it on.  Wipe it down and it should keep the fog off.  I don't use foam, so I've never tried it.

[johnnyo]

Thanks, Gam, I know if you spread liquid soap on the mirror then buff it off completely, it will stay fogless for quite awhile.

[Gambrinus]

Cool.  I might have to try that

[Stu]

Use a shower saver where you can turn the water on and off instantly, and the guilt of wasting water should go away.

ok so i went to walmart to get a mirror, and they looked at me like i had 4 heads. apparently the idea of a handheld mirror for the shower was really foreign to them 

[texanron]

I'm a shower shaver and have never felt the need to use a mirror. After I finish shaving I simply feel around for any spots I missed and touch up those areas. If you do need a mirror though, ther is a product called "Fog Away" that works great on a snorkle mask  so I imagine it would work on a mirror in the shower.
I've never even thought about the water I'm wasting by showering in the shower. Perhaps that due to the fact that I'm a pick-up truck driving, gun toting, right wing, capitalist pig, that supports the "Drill Baby Drill" crowd. Just a thought.

I shower shave without a mirror in about 3 minutes and it works well for me  - - - -
