Old showerhead always came out with little pressure and unevenly. Cleaning didn't help much so I looked for a new one. I found a seller that manufactured locally and specialized in showerheads. Much better than the attractive plastic junk from the box stores.

It was an easy change and it makes a big difference.

I was actually about to recommend pipe dope (ptfe paste) instead. You can use less and wipe off the excess to keep the the black on black look better.

But really isn’t here a rubber washer on the shower head side?

Are you using the tape just to keep the threads clean? I’ve never needed better sealing there and the 3 shower heads I’ve installed over the years have all had rubber gasket washers.
