Will things like electric shavers, hair dryers etc. from UK work

from the mains (using the 2 flat pin adapter) in USA? Does one need a
"step down" transformer / voltage converter?
if you were to use a transformer you would need a stepup one US is
110V(ish) and UK is 230V
So it would be a step-down (230 110), the OP is travelling FROM the UK
to
the USA, read the OP again !
Opps, I'll do as I suggest, re read the OP- Doh ! :~(((
