Definitely check the voltage as this article recommends.

I think it blew out the power adapter but not the razor motor itself – it’s still working. Is it safe to assume that if the voltage had damaged the razor as well as the adapter that the razor wouldn’t be working at all?

My cell, an iphone se can last more than a day in the US. Here in France with the right plug it last less than half day. Same for my laptop and tablet. Thanks for any answers.

I want to bring a laptop, but the one I have is WAY too big. I’m not sure how netbooks work. Do you think that would work? I don’t want to take the chance of handwriting it and then having water ruining it.

Would it be possible to update this article? 🙂

What should be bought for going to Europe if I have a regular plug in. I am only using it to charge my iPhone and possibly beard trimmer.
