Can you get herpes if you touched a uncover used razor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry. Herpes viruses are not transmitted by such brief or casual contact, and rarely if ever by any contaminated object -- only by direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. Never share razors, but the risk of infection even if done by mistake is very low, probably zero.
