Two bad things: Shaving your genitals is unhygienic and you ought to refrain from that. Sharing razors carries a risk for more than HPV and Hep B may be a bigger risk and HIV is not excluded. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Razors and HPV: There are no data on this. It makes sense to avoid sharing razors, either for facial or genital shaving. The risk of HPV probably is low, but razors are cheap: why take the chance? Just don't do it.
