Sharing razor blades
Good day medhelp.. I would just like to ask if it is possible to get hpv, whether it be the normal hpv or genital hpv, through sharing razor blades?
Here's my situation.. This morning, when I used my shaving blade, I noticed that there were a few pieces of hair left in the blade. I ran the blade through water though, before I used it. I am not certain which part of the body the hair came from, but to me it resembled to be pubic hair. I asked people in my house about who used the blade before me, and I was informed that someone in our house tried it out first to ensure that it's safe to use and won't cut me. The person had used it yesterday.
Now my concern is, is it possible to get hpv from this standpoint? Seeing that it was used a day before I did use it. Say that it was used either for facial or pubic.. Thank you very much!

by the way, I immediately stopped using the blade when I saw hair. What I did was fill a very small tub with water, tried to mix bar soap with it ( the one you use with your body ), making it soapy water. Then i dettached the razor blade from the handle and I soaked it there for a while, shaking it up a bit. That's when I used it again to finish shaving my facial hair. During the 2nd process of shaving though I accidentally cut myself, or the hair follicle, making me bleed a little (happens a lot when I shave) thats why I'm really scared.. can anyone shed some light on me?
