Default Electric mirror in a bathroom

Hi everyone

I have just got a new mirror with lights in it for the bathroom.

It has a 'shaver' plug on it.

What I would like to do is wire it directly from a pull cord switch.

Is there any reason why I could not cut off this shaver plug and wire it
into a fused spur with the pull cord switch, or is there something special
about the power coming from a shaver socket that would mean I would have
to have one of these?

It would be nice to hide the wires too, but for ease of removal I guess
that will not be possible, unless I could find a flush 'vertical' socket.
By that I mean one that I can plug into vertically, rather than
horizontally, behind the mirror and keep it as close to the wall as
possible. Is there such a thing?

Thanks

Richard
