Are electric shavers widely available in South Korea? I have one here in the States but I know voltage is different. Should I bring it and buy an adapter or just buy one when I get to Seoul? Thanks |

They are widely available here or you can bring yours if you are partial to it and get a voltage adapter (which are also widely available and cheap).

My shaver seems to work fine by just pugging in a Korean plug. |

Some are and some aren't (like mine).
Note to newbies: Read the power label BEFORE you plug it in. Make sure it will accept 220vac (like most travel shavers) and are not just 110v like US domestic products. |
