Shen is one of the champs at the bottom rank of pushing lanes. It's recommend to let someone else do it, or have ult up so you can just tele when your team fights.

For top, let the enemy make the first move. If the enemy is melee (which is often at top) he will need to cc, dash or run up to you. When he does this, throw your vorpal blade first, then hit them with your Ki strike (avoid them possible if you ki strike is on CD) by then, the enemy will lost a little more health then you. But if you realize your taking more dmg, use your taunt (which you should get when lvl 2 or 4) to get out of the situation.

Heres how should you Harass:

Q>Ki Strike>W> run back or keep attacking (if upperhand)

If losing: Q> run back>W (if enemy closes cap)> Ki strike> run back

Shen really needs map awarness to be good at top or let the enemy push until your jungle comes and help. If jungle helps then your enemy will most likely will die (if you save your taunt for his/her escape mechanism).
