I know your not allowed to fit a rcd socket in bathroom but its safe as all whirlpool baths need an rcd spur fitted
You are but it needs to be 3m from zone 1 stuff. As far as I know .

A standard two pin continental travel plug will work just tried it. Side on as @Gwyn1 mentoined....
I read somewhere that a Euro plug had different pin pitch and diameter.
See post #7
Sorry for this question Shaun but, would it not be easier to go out and buy a new shaver to suit your socket m8?.Mines is a very old one at least 20 year old i guess its the newer ones that work with a variety of plugs.
Or outside of the zone, if it's fitted behind a bath panel that's only accessible with a tool then it's considered to be outside of zone 1You are but it needs to be 3m from zone 1 stuff. As far as I know .
Can't find a three pin to two pin converter other that the european ones which apparently won't work due to the pin spacing
two options that I can think of, change the plug to a standard socket outlet and protect it from access e.g. a waterproof external type socket. Not pretty but depending on where located in your bathroom it might work....
Or sacrifice an old two pin appliance cable. and put a plug outlet on it. Again, not pretty but it would work. in effect a short three pin to two pin extension lead.
He can't modify the place as he's renting.
I think the only option is a real shaver plug with wire into a British single socket.
Yeah, i'm thinking the same. Crispy fried shaun127 sounds a bit too overpriced just to use a shaver in the bathroom :-D
Here's another idea. Hang a mirror on a wall near a power outlet somewhere safe?
I've used 3-pin plugs in a bathroom for years without injury, head-shaving, heater, kettle and commercial water boiler to fill the bath when the combi went during the coldest week of this year...
Could put the shaver wire and 3-pin socket in a plastic box with grommets. That would be reasonable watertight. A bit big including the transformer but safer .
