This Oxo fogless mirror makes shaving my bald head in the shower a breeze
The Oxo fogless mirror is the type of product that I can't believe I've ever lived without. As a veteran bald dude, I love shaving my head in the shower. The steam helps me get a close, clean shave that leaves my dome nice and shiny, and there's no mess to worry about afterwards. However, since I'm flying blind, there are inevitably a few spots I still have to clean up once I get out of the shower and head to the sink — where I have to wipe down my fogged-up mirror before doing anything. So when I had the chance to test out the super-popular Oxo StrongHold Suction Fogless Shower Mirror that hundreds of people are buying every month, I was immediately intrigued. Now that I've used one for several days (and got past some small design quirks in the process), I can't imagine it ever leaving my shower. Oxo StrongHold Suction Fogless Shower Mirror The Oxo StrongHold Suction Fogless Shower Mirror makes shower shaving easy, thanks to a tool-free suction mount and a unique water reservoir that keeps things from getting too steamy. Our fashion and beauty editor Sophie Shaw was looking for volunteers to test this mirror out, and ever eager to try new stuff and step my shaving game up, I jumped at the opportunity. Thank goodness for that, because this is the kind of no-brainer gadget I somehow never thought to buy for myself. This Oxo mirror solves a problem I didn't even realize I had, all while being super easy to set up and use — after a few false starts, that is. This fogless mirror affixes to your shower wall via a simple suction cup; you just pull up a lever, stick it against your wall, pull the lever down and you're good to go. At least, that's how it's supposed to work. I could not get this thing to stay put on my wall for more than a few seconds during my first go-around, to the point where the mirror popped out of the enclosure (miraculously, it never cracked). I ended up buying a replacement to start fresh, and had a much better experience (turns out I just had to press the suction cup harder to the wall before securing it, so keep that in mind if you pick one up). Oxo also says to place the mirror on a 'clean, dry surface' and avoid placing it over any grout lines, which could mess with the suction. Once you've got the mirror holster securely affixed to the wall, you simply need to fill up the mirror's water reservoir with hot water and slide it onto the wire loop. I didn't love having to do this before every shower, but the hot water is necessary for preventing fog and condensation. And boy, does it actually work. After several showers with the StrongHold, I could see myself clearly in the roughly 9-inch-tall mirror as I shaved and washed my face. It might sound silly, but getting to actually see my head while shaving was a revelation. No more guessing and feeling around; I could just watch what's left of my hair disappear with every gentle glide of my razor, which was within immediate reach thanks to the handy holster at the bottom that'll fit most men's razors. I also like to wash my face in the shower, and being able to make sure I've properly rinsed all of my face wash away was a nice bonus. And since I can now reliably do 100% of my shaving in the shower, I don't have to wipe away any of the dreaded stubble that used to accumulate around my sink. Now that the StrongHold Suction Fogless Mirror is fastened onto my shower wall (for real this time), I can't imagine ever taking it down. Getting a proper head shave in the shower now takes me less time than ever, and as someone who's constantly running late, that alone is worth every penny of the mirror's meager $23 price tag. Is a fogless mirror the same as a fog-resistant mirror? Is a fogless mirror the same as a fog-resistant mirror? While different brands around the grooming industry seem to have varying definitions of 'fogless,' two distinct types of anti-fog mirrors showed up the most in our research. There are fogless models like this Oxo mirror and the Sproos Anti-Fog Mirror that use water reservoirs to avoid fog, and other ones, such as this popular YoHumk model, that simply claim to have an anti-fog coating. Certain shower mirrors, such as this well-rated one from Shave Well, claims to avoid fog so long as you keep it under your shower's water stream. How do you clean a fogless shower mirror? How do you clean a fogless shower mirror? Fogless mirrors don't require much upkeep in our experience, but common glass and mirror cleaners like Windex should do the trick. In the case of the Oxo StrongHold, you will need to replace the reservoir with fresh hot water before every shower in order for the anti-fog effect to work properly.

Strong Hold Launches Modular Drawer Storage to Address Gaps in High-Density and Tool Storage Market
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Louisville-based manufacturer Strong Hold has announced the launch of its own Modular Drawer Storage solution to meet growing market demand. As competitors face increasing lead times, Strong Hold is stepping in with a three-week lead time—significantly faster than the 16+ weeks typical in the industry. Modular storage units are valued for their high weight capacity, space efficiency, and customizable configurations. Strong Hold, a leader in American-made industrial storage and workplace solutions, has spent the past year developing this product and is confident in its market fit. "For years, our distributors and end users have urged us to enter this space because many manufacturers struggle with long lead times," said Tony Diebold, President of Strong Hold. "That's why we're launching with a three-week lead time, while others take 16+ weeks. We're excited to bring this product to market and will continue expanding our offerings post-launch. Not only can we deliver quickly, but with the uncertainty of tariffs and rising costs of imported steel, we know we can compete—our units are proudly made in the USA using American steel." The 14-gauge, all-welded units are available in three heights—36", 44", and 60"—with multiple drawer configurations and customizable drawer kits. Customers can find Strong Hold's Modular Drawer Storage units at or through distributors nationwide.
