Shave Well Original Anti-Fog Shaving Mirror | Fogless Hanging Bathroom Shower Mirror with Handheld Option for Men and Women | Includes Long-Lasting Removable Adhesive Hook for Wall

Ok so ... at first I wasn't too thrilled with the mirror and actually wrote a review here reflecting my dissatisfaction. But within about an hour, I received a nicely worded email from the manufacturer offering insight to exactly how the technology in the mirrors construction, makes it truly fogless. We had it positioned in the shower too high on the wall (have kids so ... glass and water + kids = not good).I've posted this info below but I gotta say .... any company that is that willing to stand behind their product and offer such personal customer service is a 100% winner in my book. If only all online retailers could be this way. It's nice to know they care enough to respond personally. Buy the mirror ... it's affordable and does what it says. Enjoy! :)From the email I received .......If I may, please allow me the opportunity to share how the mirror works in an attempt to help alleviate the fogging issues you mentioned in your review.Most houses are kept in a temperature range of 70-75 degrees.The average shower water temperature is 107.5 degrees.Fog on a mirror is simply condensation. The air in the bathroom is heated by the shower and becomes saturated with moisture.When this saturated moist hot air comes in contact with the shower shave mirror (which is still at normal room temperature roughly 30 degrees less), the moisture comes out of the air and condensates on the shower shave mirror surface.When you hold you Shave Well mirror under the shower stream for a few seconds, the acrylic mirror will warm up allowing for the temperature of the moist air and the mirror itself to equalize.Once you have held the mirror in the shower spray to equalize the temperature of you shower and the mirror, there can't/won't be any fog/condensation.All of that being said, the mirror works on basic science. If your mirror is still fogging then the only answer I can give you is that it remains cooler than the temperature of the shower. Since the mirror is rather thin acrylic, it should warm up in the few seconds you have been holding it in the warm water of the shower spray.Some additional thoughts that remain would bea.) Whether or not you have a greatly reduced flow shower head. If you do, it may take longer for enough warm water to equalize the temperature of the mirror.b.) If the mirror hung so high that there is a direct flow of cool air over the shower curtain/door or whether an air conditioning vent is blowing toward it. If this is the case, I am happy to send you a new hook so that you can reposition the mirror.c.) One additional suggestion would be to make sure you are turning both the front and back of the mirror under the shower water spray when you are equalizing it. This will help in "warming it up" to equalize the temperature.Finally, regarding the issue of the size of the Shave Well mirror, it was designed to be removable from the wall to truly address the issue of fog by "warming up" the mirror under the shower. Given that the mirror will be removed from the hook before you shave, many users choose to hold the mirror while shaving. The 6" X 4" size fits well in a users hand as well as provides a complete reflection of the entire face while shaving.To avoid any confusion, under the Product Description section of the amazon.com listing is the size of the item is shown: "The Shave Well Company fog free shower shave mirror measures 4" wide, 6" tall and is 1/8" thick. The base of the adhesive hook (the part that sticks to the wall) measures 1" wide and 1 1/2" tall."

A few years ago I was gifted a shower shaving mirror and have been hooked on shaving in the shower ever since. As compared to the old shave-over-the-bathroom-sink method, the steamy shower environment really seems to make the shaving experience smoother, faster and much less painful.That first shower mirror was the type held to the wall by a couple suction cups... and those cups became hard and lost their grip in about six months. After that I tried a different mirror with four suction cups, and that one lasted about one year... actually had two of those in a row. Still, it would have been nice not to have had to purchase a replacement every nine to 12 months.A couple months ago I went looking for a longer-term replacement, and reviews of this Shave Well shaving mirror seems to indicate that it might be exactly what was needed. I made the purchase and would say that those reviews were right on the mark; am very happy with this item's functionality and mirrored surface, and offer the following for your consideration:* Following instruction, I cleaned the shower wall very well and then allowed more than the noted 1 hour for the wall to dry* Mounted the mirror's hook on the clean wall and allowed the adhesion to bond overnight before hanging the mirror* I shave near shower's end by applying shaving gel, running the mirror under the water, hanging the mirror, and shaving* Putting the mirror under the water too early gave it time to cool, and fog returned. I now wait until ready to shave* Before leaving the shower I'll shake the mirror to remove excess water, and might pat it once, not rub it, with the towelOne thing I learned with the first few mirrors was how not to clean water spots from them... the first couple times I tried using dish soap and a scrubber sponge or a washcloth, and basically destroyed the mirrored finish on these things. None of the shower 'mirrors' I have owned have actually been made of a glass mirror; instead, they seem to be made by applying a thin mirrored finished to a plastic or plexiglass backing. That finish is fairly easy to damage, so some care is needed when trying to clean them.For whatever reason (maybe she read the instructions...) my wife suggested using toothpaste and that has worked quite well. For us, the paste type toothpaste works better than the gel type; we just apply a small dab or two, lightly rub the toothpaste around the mirror in small circles using the pad of our finger (not the fingernail), and then rinse it all off with warm water. Works amazingly well.After a few months use - so far, so good. This mirror has been excellent and easy to use. If you are looking for a mirror for use similar to what I've expressed above, and looking for a product that will do the job without breaking the bank, then I highly recommend this too you. If issues are experienced in less than a year, I will return to make appropriate updates.Highly recommended
