Thanks Brian

How often do you need to re-apply the toothpaste?

I think I have posted this about 4 times now, But Johnsons baby shampoo, applied just like anti Fog has worked for me for a long time without fail.

I found baby shampoo makes a smeary film that washes off ass soon as the inside of the mask is rinsed. The shaving cream didn't look like it caused distortions and reportedly is stable even after being steamed for 4 weeks.

Ill second that.Baby shampoo works great and doesnt irritate the eyes.

My personnal favorite was closeup toothpaste. It has a nice smell and helped prevent cavities in my mask.

I stopped using it when I arrived at my divesite one time and found almost all my gear coated with red gel. Now I just spit.:boom:

Vote for the no tears shampoo......half shampoo and half water mixture works great...smells good....and a little squirt before each dive and youre good.
no experience with film coating.....or rinsing....and since i have a full beard and stach....EVERY mask i try leaks water in....so it would have washed off the mixture...but no prob yet

One less thing to worry about in OH....who cares if your mask is foggy, you can't see out of it anyway?

Any soap will work. It works best if you don't mix it with water. Apply the soap (toothpaste, baby shampoo, shaving cream {what's shaving cream?}, dish soap) to a dry mask. Leave it in overnight. Rinse it just before entering the water.

Heavens forbid no, half the fun of getting smacked with a pie is licking up the leftovers.
