Can you put a toothbrush charger in a cabinet?

I need to replace this with something nice. The bathroom layout is a bit awkward, with a window in front of the basin, so no space to move this nearer the basin - wife does not want it, or a cupboard, above the toilet either. This is space is near the door too, so not sure we want anything that can be knocked off a shelf etc.

So, thinking of cabinet with toothbrush charger (rather than shaver socket) in a cupboard, or embed in wall with cabinet built around it. The ready made ones are silly prices.

So, something like this, inside something like this

Yes opf course you can, providing the electrical connections comply with the rules for bathroom.
The downside of that charger (in your link) is that you are then stuck with the Oral-B way of doing things. If you had a decent electric toothbrush, or water floss thingy (like a Philips), then that charge plate is no good to you.
I would put a standard bathroom 2-pin charger socket in your cupboard (use the one you already have?) then you have options...

Might do that. The charger I have is old (somebody here found the original details, dating back to the 80s I think) but it works well. No overheating with a toothbrush plugged in, unlike the new charger I bought and replaced.

I just need to get the SDS out again and make more dust to make a hole big enough....

If it’s going in the cabinet, just get a 47mm deep surface patress. No big hole needed.

That’s £33.60. TLC prices exclude the dreaded V Thing.

They also do this one now £5 extra, best of both worlds https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/PV12P.html

Glad to see it's incompatible with American shavers.

Best of both worlds?
I still can’t charge my Philips toothbrush on that thing. Or my water floss tool or my shaver. Bathroom USB socket would be more useful,….

Or anything other than an Oral-B toothbrush.
