It is a charger base, but you would expect to be able to use it in the
bathroom safely and that it would have a two pin plug and work from the
shaver point.
or am I missing something here.....

If you look at the thing with the power lead, and the three pin plug, what
wattage or amperage does it say on it?

Shaver points can only supply a small amount of power, maybe your toothbrush
needs more than the average shaver socket can provide, so they stuck a
"normal" plug on it?
