Patent number: 5313316Abstract: A mirror for use in a steamy environment such as a shower stall. The mirror has a recess for holding a cylindrical can of shaving cream while exposing half of the can for easy grasping. Either a magnet or straps may be used to hold the can in the recess. A water channel has a push button valve for controlling water flow. The stream of flowing water equalizes the temperature of the mirror with the surrounding environment. A fitting at the bottom of the mirror may be turned in order to direct a stream of water in any suitable direction to wash away shaving debris from a razor. The water supply for the mirror may be obtained from an existing shower head supply pipe and may be diverted exclusively to the mirror, so that when the mirror is in use, water flows only when requested by the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1992Date of Patent: May 17, 1994Assignee: Tortoise Products, Inc.Inventor: Gregory M.
