How much condensation is normal, how much is too much?

You could try leaving the windows in the bedrooms open to allow moisture in the air to escape at night, and not use the heating in those rooms or get a couple of fan heaters to use in the bedrooms instead of the night storage. Do your living room and kitchen windows condense up too?

Yep; everywhere.

We live in an old house with cast iron window frames single glazed with 2mm glass that can't be secondary glazed because of the age and size of the windows. We use all the ideas already suggested but have found that shallow dishes filled with cooking salt help to absorb a lot of the window condensation. All salts are hygroscopic and as long as you replace the wet salt when it feels like wet sand it helps will help to reduce the quantity of moisture running down the windows.

Give it a go!!

Turns out that 4 windows open is what it takes; but today is pretty mild.

I thought that about the shaving foam.
Since coating the window, it's had none but it's been milder the past few days.

UPDATE:

Well, shaving cream does not seem to work as a semi-permanent fix as there was a little water this morning, although greatly reduced.

I'll try it again over the next few weeks as it seemed to work, but then I'm not sure if the weather did anything to affect it.

The problem with the double-grazing patches is my window is a patterned one, so would be much harder to apply :P
