PART II: Success.
As you probably know, European outlets kick out a mean 220 volts of electricity. American appliances, like my now-deceased electric razor, were only designed to handle 110 volts. I was told by several people my appliances would be ruined if I tried them in Europe, so as soon as I arrived, I did my very best to brick my razor. Nothing bad happened. Then I tried my razor for a longer period of time while in Munich. Like, long enough for a full, manly kind of shave.
This video is the result:
And this is the first video, when my razor was still alive:

Well, considering that Germany has a 50HZ/ 220V electrical system, then it is no wonder that your razor is totally toast. The outlet adaptor in use on this video is not a voltage adaptor would have saved you trusty old razor. Even with an adaptor, anything with electric motors will tend to run slow and possibly burn out due to improper Hz (50HZ Germany Vs. 60HZ U.S.).
