can you get a shaver socket that does not hum?

So I'll take that as a NO then since nobody has suggested one?

Mine. But you can't have it.

Some shaver sockets have a power switch operated by the plug being inserted, others may have a manual on/off switch (perhaps also operating a light).  Rarely some are on all the time and need an external switch to save money and the noise.I

I'd have assumed that this would be the modern case, in the age of reducing power consumption, but a quick Google couldn't find me one with such a shutter switch. Do they exist?

Most shaver sockets are NOT designed for charging electric toothbrushes. Those that are will contain a toothbrush emblem on them to indicate their suitabililty. A toothbrush is not an intermittent load like a shaver.

You probably should have said "a corded mains operated shaver" as most modern shavers are cordless rechargeable - i.e. the same as electric toothbrushes.

Having said that, my shaver, jet flosser, hairclipper and even a bluetooth speaker never leave my bathroom. I call this 'common sense'.

I had a wall mounted charger put in when I had the bathroom done. That doesn't hum but it's quite expensive for what it is.
