Shower Head

I like the European ones with solid sliders , exposed pipes, and two knobs. Haven’t seen one like it North America but they’re everywhere over there. If just a head kit, I like the ones with tiny levers to make changing spray patterns less of a chore.

We got a Moen Magnetix that we've been happy with. A part broke (not due to build quality) and when I messaged them asking if I could buy just that part, they sent me an entire new kit for the hassle.

I went the 2 head route.

I have a fixed shower head in the usual spot, and then next to it is a hand sprayer mounted a little lower that I can pick up and use to rinse off.

I have the normal control valve (on/off, cold/hot) and then above it is another valve to open and close either faucet. (vertical for regular head/horizontal for hand spray)

I love it, and was able to have it during original construction so it wasn't a problem at all

do you have an example

Something like this. You have one main valve that supplies the head and sprayer and another valve to activate the sprayer. Most main valves already come with the 2 outlets. A plumber can easily install this setup for a minimal increase in cost.

remove the water flow restrictor from the shower head for more pressure

As Whiskey Throttle pointed out, I have that one from Lowe’s and it is perfectly fine!

Last year I bought one for a relative that had the normal handheld unit, but you could also mount it to a vertical bar to use as a regular shower. It turned out to be a pretty slick setup.

I boughs\T it from Wayfair which has a hell of a selection. Upon ordering, they also have a checkbox that allows you to search for “open box” which are basically returns. The positive is that you can get one hell of a deal on open box models. That is important, because showerheads can get very pricey.
