Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
HPV will not spread through clothes as these virus is fragile and not able to survive in the atmospheric air and temperature. But we can not rule out the possibility of HPV transmission by sharing the razor if it had been used within a short interval by your ex girl friend.
Apart from that we can not rule out her sexual activity even though she had hailed from an orthodox christian family.
