I just bought the Tiki Farm 'Cobbler' style shaker:

And although it was easy to shake with, I found that I couldn't strain the liquid nearly fast enough. It does have a nice large capacity for bigger drinks, and it's quite swank with those grip-able ceramic tikis on either side.

I was hoping to make a permanent switch to a capped model to speed up the shaking/straining process, but instead I still prefer my cheap Ikea Groggy 'Boston' style shaker(seen below) with my expensive Villeroy & Bosch Strainer.

This is the one I use.

"Groggy" shaker from Ikea.

It's cheap but does the job nicely, and the glass part has a rubber rim that seals but releases fairly easily.

The sensations are part of the whole mixing experience for me; the cold of the metal, the clink of the ice, the drips, yes, sometimes there are drips. All part of the territory. :) If you don't come out wet and sticky, what's the point? :wink:

And now! See me wet and sticky, LIVE! at the Jet City Junket, this September right around the time of Tiki Art Now 3 in Seattle.
