    I've just bought a Boots shaver and for some reason it has a 3-pin power supply instead of the usual 2-pin shaver socket cord. The power supply is rated at 100-240V 0.2A input/3W (3V/1A) output. The shaver socket has dual 110v/230v outputs. Subject to the obvious caveat about proximity to...

    Hi guys so basically I had a shaver charger wire with a 2 pin plug, and cut the wires and put it into a 3 pin plug. Is this ok or will there be problems? The wires from the shaver charger seem thin. Please see attached image. It's a standard Philip's charger wire.

    Shaver points on lighting circuit

    For general advice In a bathroom - the shaver points are often wired to the lighting circuit. Does this mean that a tooth brush charger will only function if plugged into the socket WHEN the light switch is “on”? How to get round this? (I guess ask electrician to wire into the circuit before...
