Asking the same question repeatedly will not result in getting answered more quickly. This is a patient forum for those who are or were infected with hepatitis c. No one is monitoring for new posts. Just when people happen to check in and see a post they can answer will your question be answered

“Hepatitis C is usually spread through direct contact with the blood of a person who has the disease. It can also be transmitted by needles used for tattooing or body piercing. In rare cases, hepatitis C can be passed from a mother to her unborn baby. This virus can be transmitted through sex and sharing razors or toothbrushes. These occurrences are also rare.”

“Dried blood spots contaminated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and left on inanimate surfaces can remain infectious in ordinary room temperatures for up to six weeks”

If the person who previously used the razor was infected with hepatitis C there is a small risk of infection.
