We shower on Touche' often, usually in the head. Touche' has both a cockpit shower and a shower/mixer faucet in the head. I installed a bracket in the head to hold the spray head for the Admiral.
The shower drains to the bilge. The only issue I find is cleaning the bilge on a regular basis to remove body oils, etc. Otherwise, it works great. Many years ago, I re-covered the teak bulkheads with a white Formica. Brightened the head up and added a more modern look. The remaining exposed wood is either varnish or Cetol.
