Most players start with Sunfire Cape for splitpushing, which is Shen's strongest point because of his ult.

Defensive items you will maybe want to buy are Warmogs (for pure tankyness and near unkillableness) or Spirit Visage (against fed APs, and with a nice cdr boost for your ult cooldown), and you can think of some more, though those two are the main two.

Offensive items, mostly for when you're ahead, are, most notably, Trinity Force, as it just gives crazy damage with your short Q and W cooldowns, and Wits End for it's attack speed and bonus damage on autoattacks. That one can also be used as the magic reistance item at the same time, if you don't need more health. Others are also possible, but again, those two are the most important ones.
