The downside of the really excellent water pressure and really excellent hot water in my shower is that after even a moderate-length shower, the bathroom turns into a steam room.  Everything is covered in condensation, and there's no ventilation in there, so it takes forbloodyever to dry out (or for me to dry off, which needless to say I have to do in another room).  Suggestions for how to cope with this (there was no ventilation in the bathroom at my old place, either, but -a- it was bigger, and -b- it had two doors, one of which opened into the walk-in closet, so I normally closed the closet door and left the bathroom door open, making it a much bigger space for the steam to fill, and plus there wasn't as much of it) are extremely welcome.

Here's something that will cut down on the steam and save you water. Take conservation showers which are similar to Navy showers but without the timer. Turn it on, get all nice and wet, turn it off. Shampoo, turn it on, rinse, turn it off. Condition, soap, turn it on, rinse, turn it off. Whenever you are applying something to your body, you don't need the water to be on, so turn it off. Only turn it on when you actually need it. You'll be amazed at the lack of steam and how much lower your water bill is.

I wish I could get away with this, but the water comes out freezing if I do - even if it's only off for 30 seconds or so. It comes back to temperature quickly, but that first couple seconds of icy blast is pretty harsh. I would suggest approaching this technique with caution!

That is a problem. Can't blame you for avoiding the technique.
