Every shower head is a minor restriction on flow compared to the bath faucet. It may or not be negligible. But a bath drawn for the same faucet runtime will use more water than the same runtime for a shower every time. The crossover in cost happens when the shower uses more water than the bath. That should happen very shortly after the time it takes to fill a bath. At one house, our bath took 40 minutes to fill, another 15-20, and another took under 10.
If you don't believe me, try plugging the drain on just a 5 minute shower to see how much it fills up, then extrapolate...
(The shower crosses into more water generally somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the shower flow and desired bath depth...)
