I was in B&Q last weekend looking for a shaver socket - well actually
it's for my electric tooth brush. Found one 240/110 volts but it had in
big print - not suitable for bathrooms ... eh? Where am I expected to
shave/clean my teeth ... anyone know the regs on this?

Thanks in advance,

I guess it was in the department selling chocolate teapots and
ashtrays for motorbikes. :-)

The normal shaver socket for a bathroom with 240 and 110v outlets has
an isolating transformer and is precisely for use in bathrooms.
It's off that they have one on sale that isn't.

A typical product would be MK part number K701WHI

These do need a deep mounting box, BTW.
