About this deal

Why is replacing a shaver plug the most obvious answer for charging outside a bathroom? (genuine question). Not an electrician in any sense of the word… just want my toothbrushes to charge and can’t find a “shaver” 2 pin to 3 pin adapter sold now which doesn’t have the extra short 1 amp fuse. The 1 amp fuse is a lot shorter than my standard 3 amp and 5 amp fuses otherwise I would simply change the fuse and see if that worked. Whether the battery life is worse or not as a result of this approach, I can’t say for sure, but I would be surprised.

I would say the hassle of rewiring a plug vs obtaining an adapter is less for many? Is it really safer? Bathrooms are deivided into designated zones, 0, 1, 2 and regulations cover what type of light, heater other appliances can or cannot be installed in the different zones. What you may need though is a plug adapter. This is to convert the 2 pin adapter found on most charging stands in the UK and Europe to work with the power supply in the other country.

I have a multi-travel adaptor bought at an airport that accepts my UK bathroom plug without problem. But I also have 2 different ones that will not accept it, but they will accept the Euro-plug.(these are the large adaptors that can be used for multiple countries by extending different pin configurations out of the body KS: there is ONE problem that you might face, and it does not matter if you have a shaver or a toothbrush. Do your research on the voltage in a particular country to ensure you are getting the right converter. Using the travel form the UK to the USA again, the ‘Step Up’ voltage converter has the 2 pin US connector on it, but actually offers up a 3 pin UK power adapter. However your toothbrush has the 2 pin adapter, so although you are travelling to the USA, you will need the 2 pin to 3 pin adapter. Why are 2 to 3 pin adapters not included with my electric toothbrush or shaver?

For example, let’s say you live in the UK and are going to the USA and assuming you are going long enough that you need to charge your brush when there. There is good reason behind the 2 pin adapter, I will now explain this and I promise I won’t get too technical.

Highest Rated in Travel Adapters

Some electric toothbrushes have charging stands that will support 110-240V meaning you will not need the voltage converter. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is one example. This is a good question and one I have often thought about myself. Including an adapter in the box would be a nice addition. You are best powering or charging each device independently as and when you need it. For example, connect and charge your toothbrush, when that is done, connect and charge your shaver or other appliance. Your comments No, not quite. A 2 pin plug found on an electric toothbrush or shaver has pins that are closer together than a traditional 2 pin EU mains adapter.
