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

I've always wondered this.

Only GB does this (for household installations anyway), go
around the rest of the world and you will just find one voltage
on the shaver socket.
