It would be nice if those same EU regulations where applied to all industries and not some specifically designated ones. For example my German Braun Shaver Charger will not be impacted by this regulation ...

the total idiocy of adopting usb-c for a shaver charger... what a waste that would be.

Why? I got a new shaver recently and it has a 5V 1A charger. The old one had a 5V 0.5A charger. A common interface would make perfect sense, and the power range is within what the USB standard can provide.

I bought an electric xiaomi shaver about two years ago and it is only chargeable via USB-C. It works great for long term travel!
