Default Something wrong with the plumbing!

I just went and had a shower and shave, to save time in the morning for a 6am start. I was just about finished shaving with the you-beaut Gillette-M3 battery operated razor, when the water pressure goes.

After it hadn't gone back to normal after 20-30 secs, I thought the missus had the craps and had put on a load of late night washing, or something else irrational, so I threw the razor in the shower caddy, shut off the water, grabbed a towel... and found no other water running in the house.... but I heard a noise coming from the shower, like a noisy fridge running.

I checked the taps were shut off, but I could feel the vibration through the tap handles, and in the shower head! Next, I thought, There's a leak in the fittings behind the wall!

So I went downstairs, checked where the pipes went through the floorboards... no water leaking... no vibrations felt in either hot or cold pipes...

Then I consulted the missus, she heard the noise, I showed her no leaks, I released the pressure on the hotwater system to pacify her... and we go back up to the shower...where she hands me my still-running and vibrating Gillette razor...
