But almost all shavers sold over here now run off

batteries. Why I do not know. It's not as if the cable is a major
problem (unlike having a battery that is flat when you need it and which
has a limited life anyway). Amazingly the chargers that come with these
shavers have the 2 round pins to fit a shaver socket. Quite why you need
to be able to charge it in a bathroom is beyond me, but...
That's because they fit virtually all ordinary mains sockets across
continental Europe, that happen to be compatible to the common UK shaver
socket for 2-pin unearthed (class II) appliances. So manufacturers simply
do not bother making a special version of shaver charger plugs just for
the UK. The same applies to toothbrushes.
