- Shave Well Travel Anti-Fog Shaving Mirror | Portable Fogless Hanging Bathroom Shower Mirror with Handheld Option for Men and Women | Includes Long-Lasting Reusable Suction for Wall

I've been shaving in the shower for almost 20 years and this mirror works perfectly. Over a decade or so ago I purchased a shower tek mirror that circulated water around the back of the mirror to keep it from fogging (same basic principle to reduce fogging for temperature differences as this Shave Well) except it was flawed by the fact that the plastic arm (tubing) that holds the Shower Tek and circulates the water eventually failed after just a year or so. After that I realized I could just keep using the mirror but had to use RainX or I used toothpaste or other soap and the warm shower water to keep it fog free long enough to get a shave. Since the Shower Tek tubing arm broke years ago, I've been holding the mirror in one hand while shaving with the other. I've noticed over the years that shaving in the shower after washing my face with a good facial soap did not require shaving cream if the water was warm enough and I had a good razor. I don't rinse the facial soap off, I simply shave it off. So shaving while holding the mirror literally only takes 60 - 90 seconds. Fast forward 10+ years and my Shower Tek fell on the hard tile floor in the shower one too many times and a few weeks ago it cracked and shattered leaving glass shards on the floor of the shower while I was trying to shave. In my search to find a replacement mirror that wouldn't break the bank, would stay fog free for at least a few minutes, and would not shatter into pieces if I dropped it (water and soap = slippery in shower) I was fortunate enough to find this Shave Well Fog-Free mirror. Deluxe Shave Well Fog-free Shower Mirror - 33% Larger Than the Original Shave Well Mirror I see several 1 and 2 star reviews and I just can't wrap my head around those reviews. I am an experienced shower shaver for two decades. I have finally found the perfect shower mirror. It's small enough to hold in one hand while shaving (hanging or positioning any mirror in the shower doesn't give me enough light anywhere) which is perfect since you can move the mirror easily to see what needs to be shaved. Holding it also allows you to easily rinse the front and back to equalize the temperature to keep it fog free during your shave, and also allows a quick rinse in the shower (if necessary) when you rinse the razor. The last thing I do in the shower is shave so that my skin and the mirror have had time to warm up to get a good shave. I've found that the Shave Well mirror stays fog free for much longer than I need it. I have even attached several photos so you can see that my shower door is fogged but the mirror is not. That is after shaving and rinsing off and opening the shower door to get my phone to take the pictures. Anyone that says this mirror fogs up, either has it in the wrong place, did not prep it with toothpaste or facial soap, or hold it under warm water (front and back) long enough (I do it for about 30 seconds, 15 on each side). This is science people and it just plain works. You should also know that I accidently knocked the mirror off it's hook a couple days ago and it crashed to the floor. I'm glad it did not shatter, but it did land right on the bottom left corner and it did chip a tiny piece of the material (I seems to be some sort of plastic or lexan with a mirror coating). The mirror survived the fall with grace and while I have a small chip in the corner, it still stays fog free and I still get a great view of when I'm shaving in the shower. I'll be buying some of these for holiday gifts for my friends that have never experienced shower shaving and all of the benefits that go along with it. If you're at all curious or on the fence, I say take the plunge, you'll be glad you did.

The anti-fog part is definitely advertised correctly - it works PERFECTLY. A few seconds under the warm water, and the surface is clear and fog-free. I love the fact that it hangs (not sure why but I missed that in the beginning, but I was happily surprised). The material is lightweight but sturdy - I've dropped it once or twice, with no obvious effect on the mirror or its surface.

I have had shower mirrors before, and they all work for a bit, then fog up so badly you can't use them, even after cleaning. I have had this one for about 7 months, and with regular cleaning with toothpaste as recommended, and running hot water over it before use, it has worked fine. Sometimes in the winter, I will need to rinse it under hot water again part way through my shave to get rid of the fog, but that's OK. The one concern that I have is that after a few months, it has developed a black area within the reflective area, near one edge, about 2 cm long and 2-4 mm wide. It seems almost as if the reflective coating has worn off or eroded off, or water got inside and removed the coating. The backing material seems intact, and there does not appear to be any separation berween the backing and the clear plastic. The mirror has never been dropped. At this point, it is small and doesn't interfere with the use of the mirror, but if it spreads, it could be a problem. Overall, I like the mirror, but minus one star because of the issue.

So after spending way too much time going to brick and mortar stores and online looking at various fog free shaving mirrors, I committed to this one. The smaller version had great reviews, but I liked the idea of it's slightly larger brother. Nothing to complain about. It is a mirror that is great for shaving in the shower with. I have no issues with fogging, but I placed it close enough to the shower so it always stays at shower temp. Just run it once under shower water on both sides like instructed and you're good to go. In the end, I didn't need a light, a radio, or some crazy mounting system. I just needed a good mirror and portability. This fits the bill. A razor hanger would be a welcome addition, but not attached to the mirror. I am quite okay without it. If you need a good shave mirror, this or it's smaller version may be what you are looking for. Save yourself stress of researching so much and cash too. No need to get wrapped up in the gimmicks of the others. For under 15 bucks shipped, this was one of those things that was money well spent. I think the smaller version is less than 10 bucks. UPDATE 02-03-2015: Since it has been over 2 years now with this mirror, I wanted to provide an update. The mirror itself is still in great shape. It's plastic, so obviously you don't want to use an abrasive to clean it. It has lived in my shower for the entire 2 years. The only issue I have found is that over time, the gray coating on the back of the mirror really wore off. I also noticed that as the coating wore off, the "fog free" aspect started to diminish as well. So it got me thinking that the rear coating plays a major role in the Fog-Free action. Keep in mind that it has been 2 years so for the most part, other than the last few months or so, the mirror has been awesome. THE SOLUTION: I happen to have spray Plasti-Dip laying around the garage...in gray as well. You can get this at Home Depot or Lowes for a few dollars if you don't. A few heavy coats applied to the back of the mirror and the mirror is Fog-Free again. In 2 more years, I will probably do it again. I just wanted to post up a way to bring your mirror back to life without having to buy a new one and throw a perfectly good one into the landfill. UPDATE 02/28/2025: I continue to purchase this shower mirror due to how simple, but more importantly how good it is as a shower mirror. It is now to where we keep one in our guest bathroom and my son has even started using it as well. The clarity is great. If after a while, it gets cloudy from water buildup or starts to fog up a little sooner than normal, just take a dab of toothpaste and rub it in then rinse. That's it! For hanging off of tile in the shower, I have resorted to a hook with a bit more suction. As long this mirror continues to be produced, I'll continue to purchase and use it. The photos I have attached don't really do it justice, but this mirror has been with me for a bit and it is still holding up well. It has fallen a few times and doesn't shatter. It may chip the edge on occasion, but that's after my son has dropped it enough times. It takes a beating and keeps on going. I am not sure if they changed the coating on the back at all since I first started buying this shaving mirror, but it has held up really well. Again, If you're looking for a really simple, but effective shaving mirror, I would buy this one and not think about it any longer. I do prefer the larger of the 2 sizes.

The Shave Well Travel Anti-Fog Shaving Mirror does its job when it comes to staying fog-free, and it’s definitely convenient for travel. However, the mirror itself is smaller than I expected, and the reusable suction cup isn’t very stable, especially in a humid shower environment. I often have to readjust it to keep it in place. It’s a handy option for quick use or packing in a travel bag, but for everyday shower shaving, I wish it were sturdier and a bit larger.

I am upgrading my review of this product based upon the excellent customer service that this company provides. Using the instructions below that I copied and pasted from the email I received, I now can appreciate the quality of this mirror. I have never experienced a company that has this level of excellence. With your purchase of the Deluxe Shave Well Mirror the most important thing to us is that you are delighted with your purchase decision. Quite frankly, we will not be satisfied until you are… From your comments there are a couple of suggestions I can make that may enhance your user experience: 1. Given your comments about the mirror fogging, please allow me an opportunity to explain how the mirror functionally works. * 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 your 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 your shower and the mirror, there can't/won't be any fog/condensation. All of that being said, the mirror works on basic science. The best practical example I can offer is the comparison of a cup of hot coffee and a glass of ice cold soda. If you set them side by side, the cold glass of soda over time will be covered in condensation and the cup of coffee will be warm and dry. As said above, moisture will condensate on the cooler surface. Bringing this example back to your mirror, if your mirror is still fogging after you warm it up under the shower spray then the only answer I can offer is that it remains cooler than the temperature of the warm moist 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 be a.) 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. b.) Research conducted by Gillette has shown that dry facial hair requires the same force to cut as copper wire of an equal diameter. After 3 minutes in the shower, hair has lost 70% of its tensile strength. As such, shaving toward the end of your shower is best on your face…and your mirror. Why? The wall of your shower is cooler than your recently warmed mirror. The later in your shower that you shave…the warmer the wall…the longer the mirror will remain warm…the longer the mirror will remain fog-free. Try it! I am sure you will see a big difference. c.) 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. 2.) Regarding the “windshield” comments, try to clean your mirror with toothpaste. While this will not eliminate the water droplets on the mirror (which dry and make water spots), from personal experience I can tell you that once cleaned with toothpaste, the water "sheets" off the mirror and you are left with fewer water droplets on the surface. Simply wet the mirror, put a pea size amount of toothpaste on the mirror surface, wet the pea sized blob of toothpaste (note the emphasis on keeping it all wet…), rub it around a bit and rinse it off well. This cleaning will take care of the water droplet issue for a week or two and your mirror will look like new. As noted on the instruction sheet that comes in the mirror carton: What should I use to clean my mirror? Toothpaste works the best to remove water spots. Simply rub it on and rinse it off. Washing the mirror with toothpaste will virtually eliminate any residual water droplets from the surface of the mirror.

Update: I was contacted by the company and they replaced the mirror at no cost myself. Everything has been resolved as far as I'm concerned. I highly recommend this mirror and this company. Did they have an amazing customer service team and they went above and beyond to correct the issues I had. Couldn't ask for a better experience. When I first received it, it was great quality, crystal clear, and seemed to hold up pretty well in the shower. However, only after a few weeks, visibility on the mirror itself became non-existent. I did my best to keep it dry after getting out of the shower however water spots still appeared and barely touching it would leave Giants scuff marks. It became unusable in a very short period of time, which was incredibly disappointing to me. I really wanted to like it. I will say that the hook still holds strong, so the stickiness of the tape provided is very good. I probably wouldn't buy it again though.

I was looking for a small mirror that I could hang in my shower and use to shave. I wanted one that was just a mirror, not one with a light, radio, shaver holder or anything else. I settled on this one because it was simple and not glass in case it fell. It’s just a plastic slab with some sort of reflective material on the back to turn it into a mirror. I used one VIS'V suction cup hook to hang it. The only thing is that it definitely is not anti-fog. It fogs up right away. That’s fine, though. That’s not a deal-breaker for me. I just throw some water on it and it’s cleared up. Otherwise, it’s perfect for my needs.

En su primer uso, se mantuvo clara la imagen, con todo y que el espejito se encontraba más cerca de la fuente del vapor de agua. En cambio, el espejo antiguo se empañó mucho. Espero que siga así.

Good quality. Very light and handy. Can be re-positioned easily. Durability remains to be seen. Expensive

This mirror is great for a number of different reasons. First of all, I bought this to replace an old suction cup style mirror that fell victim to water spots and was simply beyond any cleaning (especially after I scratched it when attempting to do so). Now, the problem with a suction cup mirror is that it's a bit annoying to take it off and wipe it clean after every shower. The design of this mirror is simple, practical, and just genius. It's fog-free because all you have to do is hold it under the shower for a few seconds to equalize the temperature of the mirror with that of the water and thereby make fog unable to form on it (for about 10 minutes or so, just enough for a shave really). Of course, you could always spray on some anti fog spray but I found no need for that. Because of it's simple design, you don't have to play around with suction cups to remove the mirror from the wall in order to: a) warm it up under the running water, and b) clean it after you're done showering. If you do end up leaving it wet and water spots build up over time, the company was kind enough to send me an email a few days after the mirror arrived with a few quick tips about installation and maintenance. Best tip provided: use a little bit of toothpaste to clean off the water spots (why didn't I think of this before?). It's nice to see a company that cares about customer experience and the customer actually getting their money's worth instead of letting a problem build up and having to buy from the company again because the first product didn't work. I suspect this mirror will last quite a long time given that it's definitely made of a sturdy and quality material. It's still plastic though so if mistreated it will likely get scratched, but under normal use it should hold up fine (especially if wiped dry after you're done showering). Another thing i like is that this mirror is basically universal. It comes with a little hook that you stick to your shower wall, but you're definitely not limited to using that hook. If you're the type of person that likes to move the mirror around from time to time, who's to stop you from buying a little suction cup hook and using that instead? The mirror is so light that any cheap little suction hook should work, allowing you to place it and replace it wherever and whenever. (the company that makes the mirror actually has a suction hook but unfortunately their other products are only sold on Amazon.com and not Amazon.ca) Regardless, awesome mirror all around and kudos to the good customer service. Absolutely no complaints!

Ótimo produto.

Travel friendly and light. Excellent size. Just one minor issue are scratches after some time.
