Default Bathroom cabinet electrical shock?

Now it doesn't occur with the fused spur 'off'!
Could it be residual static that gave this result before? Also, I only ever felt this buzz on the back of my arm where I have more hairs! With no other part of my arm, hand, fingers or Tongue

Have you got a DVM? If so, set it to 240v AC and measure between the
cabinet metal and a nearby tap - assuming it is connected with copper
pipe. Or a mains earth from somewhere if not.

DVMs have a very high input impedance and should show anything you feel.
You could even try holding one lead while probing the cabinet case with
the other.
