Why oh, why the UK and Ireland can't just use Europlug (CEE 7/16) on shavers is beyond me! Europlug fits ALL UK/Irish shave sockets, without any adaptors or modification *and* fits shaver sockets all across Europe and indeed over most of the world too!
The obvious way out of this problem is to fit shavers with the standard domestic plug and provide a standard power point in the bathroom as is done elsewhere. Seems like a crazy system to me. The only place you see "shaver" sockets in this part of the world is where tourists are likely to be staying. They take any form of two pin plug and incorporate a transformer for those who need 120V.
Those of us with a three pin plug on their shaver couldn't use them anyway.
