Charge a mobile phone from a shaver socket?

[v8gaz]

I picked up a mains to USB power adapter with multiple plug types from dixons at the airport - this works on the sleeper for charging my phone. I believe its the euro 2 pin plug that works.

Just get screwdrivers. Much cheaper...

Well my euro plug will physically jam into my shaver -> 3pin adapter so I'll take it with me.

What's the worst that can happen?

some UK plugs have a Euro converter plug anyway

He is looking for the opposite - wanting to jam his UK adapter/charger into a shaver socket (which shares dimensions with 2 pin Euro plug)

Maybe Cloudwalker should have posted the pics in the reverse order so you can see it would work

Pins are different sizes apparently.

When in the UK I either use a 2 to 3 pin adapter or just plug my charger into the shaver charger in the hotel bathroom and for the, relatively few, 3 pin plugs I have here, I have a 3 to 2 pin adapter and just use that. Just get one of those multi-pin adapters for holiday use and use that.

so you need this 220V-Continental-2-Pin-to-240v/continental-adaptor-plug

d000hg have you been blown up yet? Looking to buy an electric toothbrush from the US and keen to know what happens if I plug it in the UK!
