I have been given a new electric toothbrush. The problem is the the

standard UK plug. Apart from cutting off the plug and joining it to a
razor plug has any one any suggestions please? the plus and toothbrush
charger is moulded.

If there is somewhere to put the charge close to your razor socket one
of these might work:

Do note that the item is an EU plug and not a UK shaver plug and may not
fit the shaver socket.

Half a century ago I'd have suggested going down to Woolworth's and
buying a 2 pin (five amp) plug. But we missed the boat on that one.

However, the equivalent 3 pin plugs are available on ebay



Just to make it clear. My toothbrush was supplied with a three pin UK
square plug. I wish to plug it into my shaver socket which is a two pin
round socket. I have no intention of moving the charging of my
toothbrush from the bathroom to elsewhere as that would be inconvenient.
So I have bitten the bullet and cut the plug off the new toothbrush and
the plug off the old one and joined them with a good quality connector.
I did want to avoid this as it negates the guarantee. So fingers crossed
that the new toothbrush does well. Thanks for all the help but the
problem is now solved!
