You can get waxed. I get waxed on a semi-regular basis. :)

The problem with shaving isn't that you have herpes. You shouldn't be leaving razors out where other people can "borrow" them if you are sharing a bathroom.  Just get a little bag to put it in and put your name on it. It's not a good idea to share razors whether you have herpes or not. If you have people "accidentally" using your razor, your bathroom system isn't working.
