How to play it

Dodge his sword (Q)
Watch his Q sword when you step up to farm: if he drags it through you he gains bonus damage and attack speed for a strong short trade.
Your 6 spike
At 6 the lane flips: his R is useless in a 1v1 while Undying Rage gives you 5 seconds you can't die, so commit and all-in.
Don't block his escape
On an all-in, never stand between Shen and his tower: he'll Shadow Dash (E) taunt through you for bonus damage and disengage. Only cut off his escape when you're sure of the kill.
Never step into his turret range where his E can taunt you into tower aggro.
