Welcome to the club.  You won't use the mirror after a while.   8)

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...

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.
