An older example of a shaver socket outlet as used in UK bathrooms. Normal socket outlets are only permitted where they are at least 3 metres from the edge of the bath, so in reality they are never installed.
These shaver sockets contain an isolating transformer and are limited to 20VA, so are only of use for very low power items like shavers and toothbrushes.
Modern examples are very similar, although usually riveted together so more difficult to take apart for demonstrations like this.
The black 2 pin plug in the video is a Europlug, the UK shaver plug is similar but has slightly shorter parallel pins.
