I walk off the field through the winner's dugout with my partners. If they are slow, I wait. We walk on the field as a crew, work as a crew, and leave as a crew. If possible, on the way past the teams, I say "Thanks, coach" and keep going.
I have seen some handshakers in my day, usually high school umpires. No offense to them, but in by observations, it's usually the guy with 25+ years of 2nd-year umpiring doing it.
