My husband has a very tough beard and has heard at least a hundred times that in order to get a close and smooth shave (which I especially like), that he should always shave while in the shower. The heat and steam generated while in the shower helps to open your skin's pores and make your skin more pliable, which is perfect for shaving, exfoliating, tweezing and washing your face. Unfortunately, we could never find a quality shower mirror which would stay adhered to our bathroom wall as well as not fog up from the steamy water.
ToiletTree Products claims to make a truly fogless shower mirror which they also say will stay put on your wall and not fall off. They've even made a new and improved version which is 20% larger and contains LED lights all around the mirror itself. This I had to see and was glad that they gave me a chance to review it. Keep reading to see whether or not this mirror could stand the heat!
The ToiletTree Products Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror is designed to be fogless for a lifetime without using sprays, chemicals or special coatings. The secret? There is a small reservoir in back of the mirror which is to be filled with warm or hot shower water before each use.
Fog is a form of condensation and condensation can only occur on cool or cold surfaces. This is why your iced beverage always forms condensation on the outside of the glass, but hot beverages do not.
By heating up the mirror itself with the hot shower water, the mirror will truly remain fogless throughout your shower without the need for any special coatings or chemicals. Simply fill up the reservoir before each use and empty the water out of the reservoir after your shower is over.
The ToiletTree Products Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror is also shatterproof, rustproof, and will adhere to almost any surface using their included double sided tape and removable silicone adhesive. Since there are no suction cups of any sort being used here, I knew that more than likely the Fogless Shower Mirror would actually stay put this time!
Next, it was time to adhere the mirror to my bathroom wall. I have a tiled shower, so I found the perfect spot (I thought) and then applied the silicone adhesive and double sided tape to the specially marked spots on the back of the bracket. Unfortunately, I didn't read the instructions carefully enough and ended up putting the mirror too high on the wall. The Fogless Shower Mirror is adjustable and the bracket will easily pivot the mirror, but I still put the mirror too high even after trying to adjust it.
This meant that I now had the chance to test out how removable the silicone adhesive truly was! Although it did eventually come off, it took me a good 30 minutes of scrubbing with rubbing alcohol to finally get it all off. The double-sided tape was especially tough to remove. Thankfully, ToiletTree Products included plenty of the silicone adhesive so that I had more than enough to try again.
This time, I really did find the perfect spot and adhered the bracket to the wall. You must wait at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure, so that the bracket will not fall off. Once 24 hours has passed, you can attach the mirror to the bracket and you are all ready to go!
The ToiletTree Products Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror worked like a charm and didn't fog up at all! I loved the large size of the mirror itself as well as the lighted border. Inside my shower, it's always so dark because we have darker colored walls and the shower curtain blocks a lot of the room's light from coming in. The added LED lights made it super easy to see what I was doing in there. I am thrilled to now have a lighted mirror in the shower which allows me to tweeze my eyebrows and really wash my face well.
My husband has started shaving in the shower now and says that his skin feels much smoother than before. The Fogless Shower Mirror even comes complete with its own squeegee so that you never have to worry about a spotty mirror and it has a convenient shelf below the mirror, perfect for storing your razor or tweezers. If you are looking for a high quality shower mirror which will remain fogless and stay adhered to your shower wall, then look no further than the ToiletTree Products Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror!
