Why not? that's where they get used so why wouldn't you store them in there??

Fecal matter on toothbrushes via air droplets for one reason.

Whilst I wouldnt expect the power point as standard...I would have expected it to be offered as an added extra.

A mirror is to me a personal preference choice and as such I would expect to choose and hang my chosen mirror at a later date but its not so easy to add a shaver/toothbrush point after so I would expect that to be an optional addition prior to handover...especially if it meant disturbing tiles or new plaster.

In student accommodation with an average of 10 users per day. I remember living in student housing.......thankfully never again :-)

A three pin adaptor for a shaver costs from around £1.

I'd be worried what other corners they're cutting as well, TBH

That just shows how good our immune systems are though! If t was an issue, nearly everybody would be ill all the time.

What do shaving sockets and bathroom mirrors have to do with hygine?

I suspect he's using the word in the same way as Herzberg as something you'd take for granted in a "luxury" build

Nothing to do with hygiene in the cleanliness sense.

I'd be pretty annoyed about no shaver point as my shaver is not "cordless" - I have had it about 20 years but it works fine still. I'd also need it to charge my toothbrush which also has the benefit of providing a green "night light" in the bathroom. I would not want to have to faff about fitting a mirror in a new build.

TBH, they're calling flats being put up on grotty corners of an A-road 'luxury' around where I am, so I wouldn't put much stock in the title. All luxury means these days is 'not shared ownership or housing association'.

What might seem "grotty" to you is "gritty" to a hipster :cool:

This thread's reminded me I need to fit a shelf, to give me a fighting chance of being able to use my shaver socket without buying a four foot extension cord.
