    Where can I find a heated shaving mirror?

    So here's the situation. I tend to shave after having a shower cause I find it more comfortable and easier on the skin. However, I like a nice hot shower so when I'm out, the room and mirrors are all steamed up. Then whilst shaving I'm forever wiping the mirror in order to see a thing, it's such a pain! I've been doing it for years and never taken the time to notice how annoying it truly is, until now!

    Seeing as I have gadgets and gizmos for most other things, I figure there's gotta be something that'll let me see clearly whilst shaving. Does anyone know of a shaving mirror that heats itself to prevent getting steamed up? Or perhaps one that plugs into a shaving socket to achieve the same result?

    All I've been able to find so far are huge heated wall mirrors for a few hundred quid but heck, I'd rather not shave altogether.

    Parm, take some soapy water from the sink and wipe the condensation away. This doesn't prevent the moisture in the air from condensing, but instead of millions or tiny droplets, you get a sheen (the soap breakes down the surface tension). And so, no fogging

    A small blob of shaving foam (particularly the rather poor big-brand names such as Gillette) itself works better in my experience. I even use it on my helmet...

    That's what I was on about when I said I use it on my helmet, though in the reverse I guess.
