All warts are caused by HPV; if your penile bumps indeed are warts, it's HPV. But there are other causes of skin bumps; see a doctor for proper diagnosis. Second, the exposure mentioned is very low risk, but it is theoretically possible to acquire HPV in this manner and it might be the explanation if the bumps are warts and if you used the shared razor to shave the area where they appeared.
