Hi there,
I have this UK to euro adapter that I have had for quite a while, possibly from when my dad went to Germany, it has a UK socket as well as incorporating a bs 372 shaver socket, I do not know what brand it is but would like to know.

I think I have got a pair like that, one Schuko and the other Euro.

It's not unusual to have the modified outlet that allows a 2 pin shaver plug to fit. You see them on sale in reputable shops so they are presumably complaint with the rules for travel adaptors.

I've just had to buy an adapter like this to run my new shaver. Supplied with a 13 amp plug style PSU. Only have a 2 pin isolated shaver socket in the bathroom. It says 'not for use in the UK' on the adapter.

Hi,
We've got a load of those here for chargers, etc, where we can't change the plugs to French ones.
Got various styles, but most of them are branded 'Boots', 'WHSmith', etc.
Cheers, Pete.

I've got one adaptor I bought at the Dixons at Manchester Airport with 'not for use in the UK' moulded into it.
