Tetnus from shaving
I use a old safety type razor for shaving. I use a new blade for every shave but don't clean the actual razor itself. I cut myself while shaving today. Blade was new and I applied aftershave lotion after cutting myself. Is tetnus shot required ?
( Skin was wet and no visible rust on shaver handle or blade )

No, tetanus shot not required.
However I will suggest you to take your tetanus booster every 5 years so that you won't have to worry every single time there is any cut injury
