Abstract: A mirror includes a reflective surface that will not become fogged when the mirror is used in a steamy or humid environment such as a shower area. The mirror comprises a reflective member including a reflective surface fixed to a housing so that a housing compartment is defined thereby. An opening formed in the housing communicates with the housing compartment enabling a user to fill the housing compartment with water. The user fills the housing compartment with hot tap water so that the reflective surface will not become fogged when the mirror is used in a shower area. The mirror can include a base fixed to the housing for storing shaving articles, such as shaving soap. The base can have a base compartment formed therein that communicates with the housing compartment. Accordingly, the base compartment can be filled with hot water to heat the shaving soap.

Abstract: A condensation-proof mirror, for use in such high humidity environments as conventional shower stalls or steam baths, has its reflective surface heated by diversion of a portion of shower water or live steam to a manifold on the mirror's rear surface, from which manifold the heated water or steam is distributed across the rear surface, condensing into or flowing into a catch basin or any suitable drain, heating said rear surface by convective transfer from the water or steam, and conducting the heat, so transferred, to the front reflective surface, thereby raising the temperature of that front surface above the condensation temperature for the environment impinging on that surface.
