charger is moulded.

Is the 13A plug original, or has someone changed it?
If original, the appliance isn't for use in a bathroom
(which would be rather stupid). Maybe it's intended to
be charged outside the bathroom, but uses internal
battery when in use?

Yes it is a bathroom product. What is need is the opposite of this:

Hang on a bit. Would you care to define what you mean by "standard UK
plug"? Everyone assumed you were referring to a 3-pin 13 amp plug with
square pins, but it now looks like you mean a plug with 2 round pins.
Which is it?

If the latter, you can easily find a shaver adapter which plugs into a
3-pin 13 amp socket and has an outlet for a 2-pin round plug - like
