This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

These are such a good idea. It works by having a heater behind the mirror which prevents the condensation.
Ps. Excuse the multiple posts. fedia.io was having a moment. I’ve deleted them now
Apparently no one here has been to a Home Depot or Lowe's in the last 15 years.
You can achieve a similar effect at home by using your hairdryer on the fogged-up mirror!
You can achieve the same thing without wasting any (electric) energy by rubbing a bit of shaving cream onto the mirror and buffing it out. Works for a while.
Interesting experience to be shamed as an environmental extremist for this take.
The idea is to shave whatever and then use a tiny bit of that shaving cream on your mirror, since you will not be able to fully use 100% of the batch and just wash it down the drain anyway.
That makes the additional cost = 0.
You can achieve the same thing without wasting any shaving cream by rubbing a bit of testicle onto the mirror and buffing it out. Works for a while until the testicle becomes cold.
Sure...shaving cream....
Yep. Has to be the cream though, gel doesn't work, afaik.
That's definitely the better long-term solution!
If my bathroom mirror is fogged up, the only reason I'd want it clear is to blow-dry my hair, so my method works out perfectly for me (and since it's ~10s of extra power usage, it's negligible). Otherwise your way is better :)
Well lah di dah ms "I own a hairdryer" /s
