do you need a tetanus shot if you touched a slightly rusted razor with your fingernail, but there was no cut?

no, I don't think so.  If it punctured you skin that would be different.

You're probably ok, but really it's important to keep up to date with your tetanus shots. If you haven't had one in 10 years you should make an appointment to get a booster shot.
