Why do shaver sockets accommodate round pin plugs in the 115V outlet when countries with 100V to 120V mains supplies use type A plugs with flat pins? Is there a country somewhere with a 100V to 120V mains supply that just so happens to use shavers with round pin plugs?
A lot of the two pin round plugs are of a greater diameter than the two pin round sockets found in Europe, or indeed the two pin round 5A sockets of yesteryear UK.
Which makes me believe that there is a two pin standard which is for razors and toothbrush chargers. In fact I'm not sure that I can plug our 230v Braun toothbrush charger into a Schuko socket, yet I can plug it into either the 2-pin 230v or combined round/flat pin 120v socket on the inbuilt transformer/dual-socket of our bathroom cabinet.
