It just occurs to me why you might not be allowed to have more than one
item connected to a shaver socket. Suppose, unlikely as it sounds, that
item 1 fails so that the 'live' wire touches the case whilst item 2
fails whilst the 'neutral' wire is doing likewise, then you could touch
both and not be protected by the transformer. Hence you need a separate
transfromer for each socket.


Absolutely. If you want the safety an isolation transformer gives, then it
must be restricted to one device per transformer. Standard practice in the
days when they were used in TV for musical instruments and there was a
very real danger of this occurring with cheap guitar amps etc.
