Despite it’s initially shocking appearance, I have to agree with Jak’s comment above and add that The Incredible Head® is actually pretty darn incredible. It looked as if my shower no longer had a shower head. Although I couldn’t find the genuine article, I did find another seductively named showerhead, “THE INCREDIBLE HEAD ®”, for about $5.Īfter twisting off the old cheap shower head, and replacing it with this new cheap shower head, I was somewhat disappointed. On Saturday I had some Home Depot shopping to do, so while I was out I decided to try to find a Skimpy or Skimpy-like alternative. With any luck, after a few weeks, we’ll have the world’s most complete resource on superlative showerheads. If you have any useful information on what you believe to be the most excellent showerhead you’ve ever used, post it in the comments along with a brief explanation as to why it’s so great. OR… I can write a blog post soliciting opinions far and wide on what the best showerhead in the world is. Or I can scour the interwebs for a place that somehow might still have Skimpies.

I can move the old Skimpy to my new place and use a different showerhead in the second bathroom. Subsequent searches on Interbath turn up no mention of The Skimpy. The only reference on Google was an image of the showerhead in an obscure “product photos” section of the Interbath website. The last time I purchased one was at a local hardware store maybe five years ago. It shoots a concentrated, forceful mist in a controlled stream unmatched by any other showerhead I’ve tried.

It’s the simplest and most powerful of showerheads I’ve ever used and it’s called “The Skimpy” (pictured to the right). Recently, however, I searched for a type of showerhead I’ve used since my college days and couldn’t find a single useful reference anywhere on Google. This usually even works on nostalgic products purchased decades ago. Specifically, what it is, where to buy it, or what product has now replaced it in the product line. Search for any product, current or past, and you almost always get a slew of results telling you all sorts of things about it. It’s not too often you can stump Google these days.
