Having previously cut the plug off my rechargeable toothbrush, I'd like
to put a shaver plug back on it since I have a shaver socket in the new

suspect Elf 'n' Safety is at work.
I appreciate that a post in 2010 from somebody else included a link to
Farnell for a "Euro plug" (http://preview.tinyurl.com/lwwetvy), but
having tried that, these things don't appear to work in your bog
standard shaver socket. I even tried a 3-pin to EU travel adapter and
you just can't wedge the damned thing into the socket; it needs to have
the narrower pitch of a shaver plug.

I used to use old french mains plugs for that, the 2 round pin pattern. Shaver adaptors accept them. They wont conform to BS so not for use at work, and inspect before use to ensure they insulate and cordgrip ok.
