[time-nuts] No more 60Hz! TEC Elimination

They were talking about a very small drift here. Even if the change were ten HOURS in a year, that's one part in 876.
I highly doubt your shaver is going to be affected by grid tolerance.

I wouldn't plug a 60 hz model into 50 hz, but that's different.

The only thing I know of, apart from clocks, that you should not run
on the wrong frequency are oldfashioned mechanical shavers.

If it has a motor you're fine, but if it just has a magnet and a
coil and relies on mechanical resonance: don't even think about it.

Anything else:  Just plug it in, after you checked the 110/200 V setting.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
