just how the heck do you stop your mirror from steaming up?

its a nightmare, i spend more time wiping the thing down than i do shaving, and even they i have to peer through the rapidly misting up glass!

wash it with shaving soap and rinse

Get the mirrror hot, i use hot water holding the mirror close to the shower, and turn up the shower for a bit. If the mirror’s hotter than the air water won’t condense on it.

shaving soap trick works for me

Open the window.

Your obviously using the wrong razor and probably the wrong blades…..try and old tech and some shark blades 😉

While on the subject, where do people start when they shave? I usually start upper right cheek by my ear, but went a bit crazy today and did my upper lip first.

The wild life I lead.

I always soap my moustache area last, and shave it first. Bad habits are so hard to break.

Right cheek first, then tache area, then left cheek.

For some reason, I always do under the chin last. Always.

I wet my beard and lather up with hot water, but then switch to ice cold for shaving/rinsing.

Seems to give me a much better shave with less irritation (also stops the mirror steaming up)

Heated mirror pad

It sticks on the the rear of your existing mirror. I have mine wired through the bathroom light switch so it comes on when the light is on. I have a secondary pull switch on the mirror so that I can turn off the heater in the summer.

that makes sense, i do that with sunglasses and goggles to stop them misting.

I very rarely have problems with the mirror steaming up, but if it does then I open the window and wait a little bit.

As for CaptJon’s question about where do people start, I always start with my left cheek.

I shave in the shower so never use a mirror.

I only shave in the shower and always use a mirror 😉

I have one that sticks to the shower glass. Works a treat.

Open the window.

My bathroom doesn’t have a window, has a fairly decent extractor fan before anyone mentions that ‘tip’ 😉
