I need a new shaver and the current ones seem to come with a cable to fit a USB charger, but I can't find a charger to fit a shave socket.
Is there such an animal or m I going to have to charge it outside the bathroom?

OK found one "Shaver Socket To Usb Adaptor" apparently.
I would have replaced the 'shaver socket' with one featuring USB personally
Description says "uk 2 pin shaver"

but it looks more like CEE7/16 than BS4573, could be a bit wobbly?
I had this issue. My shaver socket will take also take a US plug so I got one of these:-

It fits perfectly and doesn't droop. If your shaver socket also has then one of these may suite...

Or just get a USB charger with a Europlug on it (ie a 'European' phone charger). That should fit a UK shaver socket just fine. Just tried it with the first one I had to hand ('Energizer to 2x USB-A', was about EUR5) and it fitted decently without slop unless I forced it (helps that my socket is vertical).
I have a couple of these which come with exchangeable plugs (UK, Europlug, US, China/Aus) and I'd recommend as a fast phone/laptop charger:

If it needs to be suitable for a bathroom, USB sockets are quite expensive. An adaptor is much cheaper!
Mine does, thank you :-)
Depends on what you call expensive.Upwards of £40 according to Google.

And would you want an adapter socket in the bathroom?
