Default Why are most shaver sockets dual voltage?

Out of interest, does anyone know why in most homes/fittings in the
uk are the shaver points dual voltage. i.e. 115 & 240 when all
shavers I have ever seen sold in the uk are 240v

You might have American visitors!

Since, being in a bathroom, they have to have an isolating transformer, it's
very easy to provide a 110v tapping.
