Things I Recommend

GEAR · HONEST · UNPAID

A short, growing list of products I think are so good I just want other people to know about them. That’s the whole reason this page exists.

To be completely clear: nothing here is paid. No affiliate links, no referral codes, no sponsorships, no free samples, no money or anything else changing hands. I bought all of this with my own money. If a recommendation ever stops being honest, I’ll take it down.

The List

ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror (Tall)

Why I love it

Shaving in the shower instead of at the sink is a much better way to do it, and a good fogless mirror is what makes it possible. The ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror — I have the tall version — stays clear the entire time you’re in there, so you can see what you’re doing.

Two things sold me on shaving in the shower:

  • A closer, less irritating shave. The warm water and steam soften everything up first, so the razor glides instead of dragging. I get a closer result with noticeably less irritation than I ever did at the sink.
  • No whiskers to clean up. Everything rinses straight down the drain. No more scrubbing a ring of stubble out of the sink when I’m done.

How it works

You fill the back reservoir with warm water before you start, and the mirror stays clear the whole time instead of fogging over once the shower warms up. The tall version gives you enough mirror to see your whole face without crouching, and it mounts solidly to the wall.

It’s widely available — a search for “ToiletTree fogless shower mirror tall” will turn it up.
