Nah, I just buy Rain-X anti fog stuff for a couple dollars at walmart.
You want to keep the air as dry as possible. Even a pair of sweaty gym socks can fog up windows.

do they work good?
Check your ventilation. If it is on recirculate, instead of fresh, your going to have foggy windows. Switch it to fresh. Leave the shaving cream in the bathroom. If you're not sure what I mean by recirculate and fresh (because that is just what I call it) check your owners manual.
Stop breathing. Most of the fog comes from your mouth and your sweat.
Turn the A/C on and regulate the temperature control to stay comfortable.

This.
Most modern cars will turn the AC on when in defrost mode, but it may not work when it's really cold out. I usually crack the window open just a bit before the ccar has any heat.

Open a window. These days, with electric windows, you can crack the side window--but I think cracking the driver's window works better. A bit nippy, but beats not seeing anything.
Err, I see you are in MO. I'm thinking of NH winter. Might not apply then.

Also make sure the AC's drain tube is not clogged with leaves or other debris. I have continual problems with my AC drain ports.
Many cars (but not all) automatically run the AC compressor when defrost is selected. It's good to know if your car does.

Or damp floor mats.

Mine doesn't but I turn the ac on. Missouri is always like this this time of year. Wet damp and foggy
It's really dry in winter, usually don't have a problem unless there's a cold rain out.
Is there something damp in your car? Like a leak somewhere on the exterior that gets on the carpet when it rains.

Its been raining
Have never had this issue... Just use defrost, works for me I guess.
Clean the windows on the inside this helps reduce fogging.
