Shaver sockets contain isolating transformers to provide an earth free
output, and are typically low power ~20VA.  Tapping into this would NOT be
a
good idea, as it would quickly burn out.

If you are concerned about having 230v in the bathroom, you will probably
find that you can source SELV versions.  As far as I'm concerned, 230v IS
perfectly safe IF installed in accordance with the regulations that are in
place.
