A 1923 Gillette Bostonian, paired with Gillette SuperThin blades (for the Thai market, picked up a few thousand at Mustafa's in Singapore- now there's an institution!)

It's the isolating transformer that buzzes - whether you use the 110 or 230v side... As for when the regulations were last revised 2018 (with 2 subsequent amendments)

Use an adaptor for now - what lenses do you have now that you use most and "need" to replace? Or that you need something different to augment? Only you can decide what you "need". "Need" because none of ever has a biological imperative to acquire a lens...
