I have some electrical items.

The `infamous netbook`, the mains supply transformer states 100 to 240
volts.
The other an electric shaver with no details on it so could be 240v only.

Should the laptop be ok to be charging over there on 110v.


of course

If shaver is 240 volts only would it run but slower.


no. If it's rechargeable with lightweight psu it'll work. If it's a direct mains only it won't.

Also for charging phones will they charge but at a slower rate.


assuming you're using a lightweight wallwart, won't be affected. Old heavy warts won't work at all.
