What principle involved-in terms of physics-keeps YOUR mirror free from fog. I once had a fog-free shower mirror that never was. Thanks. -David

The object is to keep the reflective surface warm. The reservoir behind the surface when filled with warm water does just that.

Sure thing -- fog/condensation forms from a difference in temp between the surface of the mirror and temp of the (high humidity) surround air. This mirror keeps the surface at the same temp as the air because of the water you put into the chamber behind the mirror. So the temp of the surface is about the same as the air and no condensation forms.

It has a compartment in the back that u fill with warm water. I know what you mean every mirror I have gotten my husband fogged within a few months. Thats not the case with this mirror, I promise you it will be the last one u buy.

The warm water reacts with the back of the mirror much like when u turn the vents on un your car. Fog just disappears empty the water when your done.

The fact that you're filling the mirror up with water that is the same temperature as your shower, keeps it from fogging. Once upon a time, I could've explained it scientifically, but I've forgotten how. Senility, is a terrible thing. It's kind of like the opposite of what happens with a glass of ice water on a hot day. The cold of the outside of the glass, causes condensation and moisture in the air forms on the glass. This works really very well.

Hey David, could you rephrase your question. I've read it many times and not sure what you're asking. Is English not your primary language? thanks -tom

Emily, I urge you to please invest in another mirror . It had arrived cracked,and I was alright with that because it was in the corner. Then the whole mirror stand started getting loose and the mirror section began spinning and would not stay in place. I asked my husband to try tighten it, but he couldn't find any adjustment apparatus. Long story short....I'm looking for a new mirror. I sincerely wish I could've answered your question..

Hi J., We would suggest giving it a little rinse with warm water and rubbing your palm over it as it runs under water. **Additional Cleaning - The ongoing problem with *all* fogless shower mirrors is that they don't last forever, but the way to extend their lives longer is with the rinse and wipe technique above and also giving it a light wash with 50/50 vinegar and warm water. This will keep your Fogless Mirror fighting for your shaving freedom for a long time. Best Regards, Joyce Customer Relations Cassani Company

I have a detachable shower head so I just rinse it off before I get out of the shower. It seems to repel soap and water very well which helps keep it clean. Also, this is a heavy curtain, so it can actually be wiped if you need to unlike cheap thin curtains. That's why it doesn't need magnets. It's thick and heavy and stays put.

I have had no issues with the adhesive hook at all. It is about half a square foot to the bottom right of my shower head. So water doesn't spray on it but it definitely gets on it when I rinse the mirror to get the temp to adjust and defog.The only issue I have is its not reusable so you need to be sure of where you want it. I bought suction cups too to be able to move it sometimes. The suction cups I bought don't hold the mirror because of the condensation and temp change in the air. But thats my fault for thinking they would work. The hook is as good as a 3M adhesive hook for anywhere in the home. Reliable. I have had no issues with the adhesive hook at all.

I've not had to do this before, but I did read about it in the instructions when mounting my Allview Mirror. They recommend using a heat gun at 400-500 degrees for a few minutes. I've read that a hair dryer will work as well. Then use a razor blade to scrape off the residue.

I looked at it yesterday.. My husband uses this mirror in the shower. I notice that there is a better (wider) view of the face. Not that it make it look bigger, just that I could see more than just my face without struggling with the mirror, holding it just at a close distance.

The suction cup is great. I have two. One that stays permanently in my home shower and one that travels with me to the gym, so it' has constant use. Neither has failed me. As for mirror, after the first time I wet it down, it stays pretty clear. I do find myself wetting it down a couple times during my shave. However the mirror hangs on the suction cup, it's not attached. So it's a second to take it from the wall and hit it with some water. I don't even notice it. I really like it.

This unit is actually intended for that exact purpose. I installed it in our master bathroom ceiling. It is very powerful and quiet. No more foggy mirror after a shower.

Probably just me, but shaving in the shower with a DE razor would be like trying to drive while blindfolded. I need to see my face with the razor touching my face. If not, I have visions of "Sweeney Todd" flashing in front of my eyes. And as many say, the razor needs to be dried (and kept dry) after each shave. It's not a cheap plastic razor like we are all used to.

Good afternoon Elizabeth- I would first give the mirror a try before wasting money on those sprays. We don't recommend sprays because our mirror will work (guaranteed) without them. I have been using mine for a very long time and have never had to clean it. What you have experienced in the past with other mirrors may have been the "anti fog" solution is what was causing you to have to clean the mirror every once in a while. That can leave a harsh residue on the surface which will then cause scratching when you wipe down the mirror. Some places in the country will have harder water thank others which will leave a slight build up on your shower walls, tile and anything else inside the shower (your mirror). If thats the case, using some fresh water on a piece of cloth to wipe down every once in a while should be fine (but might not even be needed). But like I said above, the need to clean your mirror other "fogless mirrors" in the past may have been due in large to the actual anti fog solution you were forced to spray on constantly. Give it a try. If you run into any issues with cleaning it using something you aren't sure about and you damage the mirror, contact us and we will work with you. I have a really good feeling though that your husband will like this product. Have a great day Steve Parisi President ToiletTree Products

It will fog up like any other mirror, but just hold it under the shower for a moment and it will be clear. The suction cup holds very well; have never had a problem with it.

As others have described, the prongs go on alternative sides of the glasses or helmet visor and pinch to hold. How well does that work? Really well. I rode with the mirror on for many miles on my road bike and the hold was secure and the mirror stayed in the correct position even after normal bumps and road vibrations. I made the mistake of leaving the mirror on my helmet during a trail ride, and took a spill (actually, several) and the mirror came off during one of my crashes. Unfortunately, I did not notice the mirror was gone until miles later. I will be buying another (and not wearing it on trail rides).

No. I have not found one yet that is fog free. Just warm it a bit first and it will cut down on the fogging. I use mine daily.

Maybe. The biggest problem with shaving with a classic DE in the shower is that (for me at least) it takes at least twice as long to get a smooth result as with a good disposable or cartridge razor. So get ready for higher utility bills. Otherwise, it works fine. It's a little easier to cut yourself, so go easy at first. I don' think a mirror is necessary if you're used to shaving without one.Ps-Leaving the razor wet could theoretically affect the blades, but to say--as an earlier poster does--that you'll only get one shave, is a huge exaggeration. Safety razor blades aren't any more susceptible to water damage in the shower than any other razor blades. Maybe.
