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?
here is a 110V only shaver, being sold, at least according to the photo, with a 2 pin round pin plug. it is of course in Brazil. It just happens my wife has family there, so I have more than a passing connexion with the place. I agree that all but the cheaper models are described as 'bivolt' which means they either have a 110/220V switch or automaticaly adjust. The simple ones however are just a series wound mains voltage motor. I'm inclined to agree that anyone who travels probably can afford the slightly more expensive bivolt kind, and putting round things in a UK shaver socket on the 110V side will be rare.
