Going off the lighting seems cheaper and simpler.
What are the downsides?


None. They take less current than most lights. Just make sure the
lighting circuit has a working earth.

Mine is actually switched with the bathroom lights. Saves it humming
all the time if you leave the shaver plugged in.



I don't shave (too young) but it is useful for charging the electric
toothbrush.
So I would want it on all the time.


I have a socket in the airing cupboard for that. A proper shaver socket is
very expensive because it includes an isolating transformer - only needed
if situated close to water etc.
