    That's a shaving plug - I think they all come with them. So they can be used in the bathroom on a shaver socket.

    You just need a shaver adaptor.

    You can get them practically anywhere - a chemist (boots), electrical shop, supermarket and probably even Argos themselves!

    No worries! Although I am surprised Argos didn't try and flog you one at the till! They tried to flog me a warranty on a £5 watch the other day!

    I got one of those. At first I thought it was for those American plug sockets.

    I also bought one of those toothbrushes from Amazon for my OH for xmas. Was most peeved when he opened it xmas day to discover that it had a shaving plug with no adaptor. Luckily enough he managed to find an adaptor from his clippers so that he could charge it.
  • We bought a couple from Argos at Christmas. Hubby just cut the original two pronged plug off and wired a normal three pronged one on each. :)
