The viruses that cause these diseases do not live very long on an object so, practically speaking, this is very unlikely. I suppose it is possible if the object immediately went from someone’s infected face to your cut face but it would need to be immediate and from a practical standpoint, it wouldn’t be immediately used that way. If you are concerned, then get tested to alleviate your anxiety.

Hepatitis B and HIV could be transmitted only if a tool such as razor became contaminated by fresh blood before the same razor makes a deep cut to the next person.
