As u hav used new blade devoid of soil or rust so no chances of contracting tetanus hence no injection required..just use some antibacterial ointment to keep infection away

Not required , don’t share your blade with anyone else and use aftershave on your skin , which contains alcohol for disinfection after shaving.
