Shaver socket

Annie1960 · 2015-02-23 20:08:21

I'm moving house shortly. Currently, I have a shaver socket in the bathroom where I charge my electric toothbrush. The new house does not have a shaver socket anywhere. Is there an adaptor I can get to turn a normal socket into one with 2 pins suitable for an electric toothbrush? Thanks for any advice on this.

Both the fixed & adapter have for a very good reason, a 1amp fuse.. Please do not cut the plug off & use a 3 Pin. 1 amp fuses do not fit the 3 pin.

You can fit a 3-pin plug onto the cable from the charger.
You can also buy a 1-amp fuse (or at least a packet of the things) to fit a standard 3-pin plug from just about anywhere (my local newsagents does them).

I've probably got a dozen or so kicking around gathering dust.
