115V shaver plugs

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?

  • Be careful with UK bathroom outlets. The transformers in them have poor regulation. On no or low load (such as a charger) the output voltages are around 140v on the 115v side and 280v on the 240v side. My toothbrush charger is rated at 100-250v and I always plug it into the 115v side as I consider 280v an overload.
