Shaver Sockets
This may appear a daft question but here goes. When at home in the UK I charge my two pinned electric toothbrush in the bathroom shaver socket. Last time I came out I tried to insert it in the shaver socket in the bathroom in Portugal and it wouldn't go in. Are they slightly different in size?
I realise this is probably something that very few people have ever thought about but you never know!

If they are the same as the ones in Spain they are very slightly different than the UK ones.

Many travel adaptors (13A UK to Euro) will have a facility to allow a UK razor plug to be inserted into the L & N pins of the 13A socket. It won't fit directly into a euro socket.
