Do UK shaving machine plugs work there?
Just a quick question. Do our Uk shaving machines work over there. Mine has a plug that goes into saving socket on wall in bathroom. It 2 pin rounded. Or do I need another converter for this.

I think that electric shavers tend to be dual voltage (check yours). Just plug in your existing cord into a travel adaptor with 2 flat pins.

You have to be very careful. The plugs in Canada are polarized so if you plug your shaver in the wrong way round, the blades will rotate backwards and make your stubble longer.

And they do so by dragging the hair out of you slowly. This would be a good time to learn to use a razor.

Too late for me.
I think my options are now transplant, toupé or the dreaded comb-over.
After you.
