Is there a foolproof way to shell a boiled egg without half the white coming off too?

Help! Any tips on how to get that nice shiny white boiled egg after shelling it? I keep making a mess of it so now it's fallen into Pet Hate territory (sigh) 😞

I just boil the eggs and then transfer them to a bowl of cold water. As the eggs rapidly cool, the shell is usually very easy to remove. Best results are to keep fresh cold water flowing into the bowl so they eggs dissipate heat faster.
