I considered the ones with separate spraying hose and opted to do without that feature. (I removed a separate hose with its own sprayer that that hung there, still have it but decided not to put it on.)
And I noticed at first, well, big deal. It's a nice shower and improvement, yes, but no big deal. Then I showered the top of my head and I was instantly grabbed by a mysterious fixing force that held me there unable to move out of the stream that held me there paralyzed absorbing the water head shots. The water just drops by its weight onto your head, not sprayed with the force of a stinging firehose.
This is important because it means you can rinse your balls without getting wracked. And other hurtful inconveniences and bodily abuse.
I was just thinking of buying two more of these things for gifts around here. Plus another for the bedroom bath. So that's three more right there.
Long, long ago I spent six months in a crappy little apartment that had carpet in the bathroom. Shag carpet. And yes, the toilet overflowed. And yes, it was every bit as bad as it seems like it might be.
It was, however, inside the apartment. So I was richer than Sixty.
So now we know why, when he was interviewed by Solon, Croesus used the phrase "Someday I will be richer than Rabel!" It's good when historical mysteries are solved.
I know some folks who could benefit from carpet on their walls. With lots and lots of extra padding. None of the folks here, of course. I was thinking other places.
This could become a thing. Someone said the best shower head they ever experienced was at a hotel. I checked the name. It's a rain thing like these but top end and splendid and shiny and perfectly even spray and glorious drops of perfect size and velocity and wonderfully like nature if you turn it to freezing cold. it costs like 350.00 maybe 425.00 doesn't matter when you get that high and I thought wow I bet that's a good one. It can be square or round and it's gold.
So the new thing is buy one and take it wherever you go and install it just for your shower. So, pack a pliers too. And some of that thin white tape. Wherever you go, those things get packed.
Or else, after you enjoy a stay as guest at a place with a crummy shower head, then upon return along with your note saying what gracious hosts they are and what a great time you had and a few specific things that stick out then include a decent shower head with no explanation at all nor any mention. As if that box is an accident or some kind of silent joke, a hint that might get a good laugh.
If you google shower head wars it will return chewbaca mom laughing hilariously in the shower... Not true. Google will return a darth vaders tears shower head. And a rainfall shower head. In California you probably have to pay extra for the rain shower head.
The best shower head we have was one that my husband bought when he was doing domestic plumbing years ago. BEFORE the mandatory low flow shower heads came out. He had it in his inventory of plumbing supplies and basically forgot about it.
When we went to build our house the master bath has a new style shower head. Fancy spa like bathroom. Very nicely appointed but no matter what new style shower head we change to, they all are terrible.
The old water wasting shower head we put into the guest bathroom. It is the BEST. The water just beats down on you. Lots of pressure and lots of volume. You can wash the soap out of your hair. It is relaxing, fabulous and I don't want to get out of the shower, it feels sooooooo goood. I most often shower in the guest bath.
Who cares if it wastes a bit more water. Life is too short. When they stop watering all the golf courses, I'll take them seriously. Until then....Hollywood Showers for me. (In United States Navy parlance, the term "Hollywood shower" contrasts with a navy shower, referring to a long shower with very high water usage) First husband was career Navy /wink.
I spent an evening, dining and drinking, w/ Herb Kohler, Jr. the plumbing magnate. A great, down to earth, man's man. Anyway, we were talking food and fishing when someone interjected a question about plumbing. We quickly got to shower heads. I asked if anyone ever saw the Seinfeld w/ the "low flow" shower heads. No one else had but Herb. He let out a belly laugh and said he loved the episode. Herb is a Republican and this episode made fun of stupid govt. regulations.
On the topic of low flow. The place we stay in San Diego has some old low flow toilets. They get jammed constantly, particularly by me, a man full o' shit. I learned what you need is a pitcher filled w/ water to add to the bowl when you flush, defeating the low flow objective. But, it beats plunging and snaking. The low flow toilets have gotten much better.
Kohler, WI.[You know you're a big shot when you have a town named after you] has a plumbing museum. It's really pretty interesting.

Noice.

Will no one question why my balls are on my head?
I am more impressed with the fact that you have more than one shower.
When I first got rich I put carpet in my bathroom.
When I got even richer I ran the carpet all the way down to the house.
Long, long ago I spent six months in a crappy little apartment that had carpet in the bathroom. Shag carpet. And yes, the toilet overflowed. And yes, it was every bit as bad as it seems like it might be.

Dude, you must be richer than Croesus!
I do alright. I currently have an ownership or representational interest in 7 toilets in 2 states. None have carpet. All are indoors. Six are clean.
Correction. I loaned the kid money for his house so make that 10 toilets in 3 states. From sea to shining sea.
Shower heads have become really expensive, outrageously expensive actually.

This is a good soft steady stream of water my sister's guest shower has.
Too bad today's is my last chance to use it. I'll be heading back to other sister's guest shower head tomorrow.
Croesus listened to his political advisers at Delphi. Sheep entrails were involved. It didn't end well.
I'd still take the Oracles over Karl Rove.
I have a Delta 2in1. I enjoy it.

There's a used one on eBay.

What the heck is this? Yogi Berra, may he rest in peace, is gone, and yet here we have deja vu all over again.
