Electric Shaver - Quick Q!

I have one of these fancy Braun things that cleans itself, only one problem... I don't have a shaver outlet in my bathroom :|

Can you get adapters for these? It says on the plug it can cope with up to 250v which means a main plug outlet would work?

Similar from the famous catalogue shop, that's where I got mine from. Got a shaver thingy in the bathroom, but don't charge in there cos there's nowhere to stand the charging stand.

If you don't have a shaver outlet in your bathroom, you should NOT have any other socket either; illegal IIRC
Maybe you mean another socket in another room? ...... could well have the wrong end of the stick here.....

Yeah, it's in my room

The Philips stand even looks cool without the shaver on it

Shaver sockets are not ordinary power outlets. They contain an isolating transformer for safety reasons. You should not use an ordinary socket outlet supply in he bathroom.

or cut the plug off and wire a 3 pin on thats what I've done in the past
