Similar Title & H1 wording across most pages on a site

On a site that sells electronics, suppose the Title and H1 tag of every category page contained the words "Shop for" followed by the category.

IE the page that pertained to laptops would have in its tags:
<title> Shop for Laptops </title>
<h1> Shop for Laptops <h1>

and the page that pertained to cameras would have in its tags:
<title> Shop for Cameras </title>
<h1> Shop for Cameras <h1>
etc..

Would the fact that "Shop for" was in the title and H1 tag of every category page hinder SEO? Would it be better if there was some variance to the words "Shop for" across the site?

    Concentrate on user experience. It shouldn't do anything bad for SEO as many of popular shopping sites are set up that exact way

    I don't think that "shop for" really adds anything. That's probably not what your audience is searching for, and the phrase is so generic that Google might as well consider them stop words.

    I'd at least adjust one of them. In my opinion "Shop for X" is useless to the user, so h1 is the one I'd change.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
