It's a new socket

Do you have a make/model for the socket?

Electric Toothbrush, I have never had an Electric Razor (do not like them) therefore no bathroom shaver socket.
I cut the cord off the toothbrush charger flex and fitted a 13A plug, I charge the toothbrush in the bedroom - it is not any hardship to me.

Well, in practice, not much difference (unfortunately). so they often gets used interchangeably, which can be a bad thing sometimes because of tolerances it can put a undue strain on them - and that`s if they are made within their own spec which I suspect some are not quite either.
