Default slow draining shower

Moved in to new house. The shower drains very slowly. This is a tiled
shower stall, not a tub.
I tried using liquid plumber; no luck.


Rinse that out well.

Some one here has reported success with a wet-dry vac, on wet. If
that works, it would be the easiest I think, and you could see how
much came out.

I can do a fair number of home repair projects, but have done very
little with plumbing and drains. Do I want to try to rent a snake and
mess with this myself? Or just call a plumber?
If I do it myself, tips hints and instructions would be appreciated.
