Default Shaver plugs/cords (again)

also there seems to be two sizes now. My new Remmington is smaller than my
last one and the psu is built on the side of the plug so you cannot cut it
off nowadays for this reason!


I thought that most shaver adaptors now also allowed those american flat
pin plugs ith holees in them to be plugged in.

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
bathroom. Finding a rewireable shaver plug seems impossible though and I
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.
