HIV from the blade

HIV positive person used razor to shave his head and he cut himself and there was a blood on razor.
If I use the same razor to shave my head and cut myself, what is a chance of catching HIV from the blade of the razor???
How long can HIV virus survive in the razor???

Is there any stories of transmitting HIV in that way???

I'm worried.
Thanks alot.
