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

Mine have all been dual voltage or wide range, 100-250V.

I noticed in the instructions for a shaver socket it says
wide range devices (typically chargers with SMPSU) should
be used on the 120V side, as they often draw very little
current, and the offload output voltage of a shaver socket
can be up to 270V.
