Well...usually, you do it by using either a light shield, or a light weapon in the other hand.
...anyway, onto build advice- if you do use TWF, then improved shield bash is obviously a large plus. For combat style, I personally prefer TWF style (all the nice TWF feats) and then qualifying for other shield feats normally (you can find example ones under the sword and shield style...which is another alternative). I prefer TWF style, since it allows you to skip the tricky stat prerequisites found with those feats, and not with shield feats.
Really...you can just use the ranger guides for most of your build advice. Slayer is mostly the same in that regard.

Are you familiar with the math behind why it is.usually more effective to forgo defense and just use a 2hw? If you are, and you are.more interested in the style or the extra AC, then have.fun at it. If not, ask and someone will take the time to write it out or post a link.
I just want to point out that a shield is somewhat negligible as I think slayers, like rangers only get the benefits of combat syle feats if they wear medium or lighter armor. If you are useing dex for a good portion of AC, then you might just want something like fighter for free heavy armor.proficiency since any heavy dex based AC player would already have a high enough. Dex for 2wf. Then use that dex 15/16 with mithral full plate when you can afford it.
Well, with TWF, you can take advantage of the static bonuses like studied target and sneak attack more effectively. So it can seriously improve your DPR during full attacks.
If you use light shields, then you could grab a quickdraw light shield. Swift action to draw/store (free if you have quickdraw feat). That means you can 2 hand if you have to use standard action attacks (such as when you move). (side note- you can take a style with similar advantages if you use double weapons, or even just 1 handed sword+cestus/gauntlet)
And shields+medium armor can be better than heavy armor. Lets ignore the sheer bonus from the shield itself- +2 shield and +2 armor cost less than +3 armor. It is the advantage of using 2 items for enhancement in a system where costs exponentially increase. So sword and board can out AC a heaver level of armor without too much trouble.
And medium armor (particularly mithral, which has no movement penalties by the way) can take even better advantage of your suggested dex build than mithral heavy armor.

Take the Shield trained Trait if you want to go the TWF route.
Shield-Trained
Benefit(s) Heavy and light shields are considered simple weapons rather than martial weapons for you. Heavy shields are considered light weapons for you.
That's a Gorum religion trait, only available if you you worship Gorum.
