My ancient Remington beard trimmer works fine from the shaver socket. Bought a Wahl one to replace it decades ago but it was useless so I still use the Remington.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

Not sure what "facts" you still need? At worst the shaver socket is wired to the bathroom lighting circuit - rated to 6A. It's isolated anyway by means of the internal transformer - that's why they're allowed in bathrooms.
The clipper uses 230V - the socket will have 110(115) and 230(240)V sockets. The shaver socket has no earth pin, the clipper needs no earth, it's double insulated. You have a BS:1363 3 pin to 2 pin adaptor to allow you to make a safe physical connection.
Just plug the bloody thing in - it'll be fine.
