the user protection for this shaver is about as cheap and nasty as a lot of "skilful engineers" could come up with. However, with a little effort it is possible, with a trimming knife to cut a slot in the back, up to the top of the plug point and the width of the same.This allows the shaver to be plugged in and left in the container for safety. There are plenty of gaps for ventilation to prevent any possible heat build up.
