I cut myself shaving earlier.

I don't often do that these days, since learning to shave properly. But I was testing out a new razor - the Merkur slant-bar. It's very weird. It exposes more of the blade than I'm used to, but at a slight angle. So it gives a VERY close shave, but in a weird way. A lot of adjusting to do, methinks.

Anyway. I shave after showering - human hair is roughly as tough as copper wire of the same thickness, hence tough to cut when dry. It's much softer when wet, so soaking it in a shower and then using water-based lather makes for much less wear and tear on the razor and on your face. A downside is that this means the bathroom air is very humid, and thus the mirror fogs up.

There are ways around this. You can buy an electrically-heated mirror that stays too warm to fog up. You can do what I do, and rub soap on the mirror so the surface tension is destroyed and the light-scattering droplets dissolve into an invisible film.

But there is a BETTER potential way.

The fog on the mirror is there because the mirror is cold and the air is humid. So what you need is an automatic system that heats up the mirror when you shower.

The shower uses hot water.

So if the hot water pipe supplying the shower was routed along the back of a mirror, the mirror would automatically get heated up whenever you showered. No electronics, no maintenance, just a slight extension to the pipe and you've got a fog-free mirror for shaving, or just being vain.

Why isn't this already built into houses and/or shower units? A perpetual, free, fog-free mirror would be great!

There you go, yet another million-dollar idea given away for free. Somebody get busy. So long as I get a free unit when you start selling them, I won't challenge your patent ;o)
