> Would a shower head with a "pause" setting work?
Yes.
Or put one these between the shower head and the wall: https://www.amazon.com/K1140B-Shower-Shut-Off-Polished-Chrome/dp/B00HSWPYIG
>I don’t know about you, but showering generally takes a good chunk out of my morning.
If it's taking a good chunk out of someone's morning then they're being slow as hell. A Navy shower takes less than 2 minutes and uses very little water. It's even easier when you have an on/off valve so you don't have to readjust the temp two different times. This one's only $10, plus another $4 or so for some teflon tape.

These valves can save a lot of water without needing to go dirty.
>Here’s one you may not have heard of: according to Modern Alternative Mama, showering too often can prevent your body from synthesizing the vitamin D you get from the sun.
and
>Vitamin D, as a fat-soluble vitamin, is made in the oily layer of your skin. It is then slowly absorbed over 2 – 3 days. If you shower everyday and use soap, you will wash this oily layer off your skin and will not absorb the vitamin D you just made!
Vitamin D is made when sunlight hits 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) which is made in the wall of the intestines and then is transported to the skin. (https://www.jidonline.org/article/S0022-202X(15)34937-X/fulltext)
It's found mostly in the 2 inner-most layers of epidermis. Melanin can prevent sunlight from getting to 7-DHC, and since you can't wash off melanin it should be obvious that you also can't wash off 7-DHC. The only way showering can affect the production of Vitamin D is if you don't take them often enough and have enough dirt on you to block sunlight.
That being said, showering is something that different people have to do at different frequencies. Someone who works manual labor will need to shower more often than someone with a desk job and a car with working A/C. While it is a good thing to not waste resources, this article is full of ridiculousness.
Orrr, you could easily install one of these to easily stop the flow of water while you soap up so you don’t have to try to deal with an app in the shower.
Would something like thiswork?
Install one of these and teach them about navy showers
I'd skip the guesswork on the showerhead and just get what you want. Install this before the showerhead. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HSWPYIG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_K5ioDb57GPQP4
Edit: Take the plastic restrictor out of the showerhead if you end up getting the adjustable valve.
