I shave in the shower, too. Have for more than 30 years and can=E2=80=99t=
imagine ever going back to the sink. I don=E2=80=99t think sanding the =
tile smooth is a great idea. Besides potentially damaging the tile, =
shower mirrors don=E2=80=99t last forever and the next one might have a =
different suction cup pattern. I had the same issue years ago (cups =
wouldn=E2=80=99t hold at all) and attached two squares of plexiglass to =
the tile using clear silicone. I sanded the glue side of the plexiglass =
to give the silicone more bite and the suction cups held perfectly to =
the plexiglass. The plexiglass and silicone were easily removed when we =
sold the house.
More recently, I simply used E6000 =
(https://www.amazon.com/E6000-220011-High-Viscosity-Adhesive/dp/B0044SB3M8=

) to glue the suction cups to the tile. This only works if the cups =
will hold until the glue sets, (the earlier plexiglass had to be held in =
place with duct tape until it set) which sounds like the case for you. =
I applied a light film of the glue to the cups, then put them in place. =
They had been falling off pretty regularly before I did this - although =
not as frequently as yours - and have been on for about 6 months since =
then.
Good luck. As a last resort, there are always the mirrors that attach =
to the shower head (e.g. =
