Possibly.: But your barber should be cleaning the electric razor head or manual blade between clients. I would, however, not worry unless you develop symptoms.

Was it cleaned?: Any object that comes in contact with someone else's skin before your own could transmit MRSA if not disinfected with alcohol first.
