I have a Braun electric toothbrush that has the two pin British shaving connector. What is the best means to charge it in Europe, specifically Germany?

The charger should be marked with an acceptable voltage range. What does it say?

Most UK to European plug adaptors have specially shaped Line and Neutral holes that will allow either a shaver or 13 Amp plug to be used in a standard European mains socket.

sometimes the "shaver socket" in Europe is slightly different than in UK (more narrow). Sometimes not. So it's a matter of luck.
If you want to use your toothbrush and the socket is different you can buy an extension cable and connect to a socket in the room with an adapter.

The dimensions of the UK plug are not compatible with the european socket and can damage the socket. The pins are 5.1mm diameter and the sockets are 4mm. The pins on the UK plug are 16.7mm apart compared with 19mm spacing on the european socket.
