Based on what's typical for this device — confirm on the label to be sure.

Caution: Frequency mismatch (device 60Hz vs grid 50Hz): motors run faster/slower and electric clocks keep wrong time.

Why

Your electric shaver's voltage range matches Vietnam's 220V and the plug fits, so you can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.

Vietnam runs 220⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz with sockets that commonly accept both Type A (US flat blades) and Type C (Europlug). The Type A fit is a trap: the plug goes in, but a US single-voltage device receives 220V and can overheat. Pack a Type C adapter and confirm your devices are dual-voltage.
