razor plug problems

just before i moved to the UK my electric razor that I've had since I was 16 decided that it didn't want to cut my facial hair anymore. well, now I have a gnarly (the bad version of gnarly) beard. it needs to go, so I bought a new electric razor at tesco's today. I opened it up and the plug turned out to be just 2 rounded prongs. nothing like the standard massive 3 prong UK plug.
is this normal practice?
can i pick up the converter for cheap from tesco's or poundland?
it a long walk to the nearest real shops, so I don't wanna go there and not be able to find what I need.
I don't understand why you would sell something like that.

If you have a plug socket in your bathroom (which I'm guessing you don't) I think it has to be of the two prong variety so you don't take the microwave for a bath, or so that foreigners don't feel left out or something like that.
Adapter should be cheap and easy to find.
I haven't seen anyone use those outlets since the late 90's though. Every razor I've seen lately runs on batteries and can be charged wherever.
