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!
