Hepatitis A Virus
The hepatitis A virus, or HAV, is relatively hardy. In good conditions, it can survive outside the body for months. HAV can survive certain acids and some heat. For a period of time and under certain conditions, HAV can survive in sea water, dried feces and live oysters.

So unless the hobo in question has been storing the razor in a bucket of sea water/feces and oysters you should be quite safe with tin foil and baking soda.
Your own post indicates otherwise. indicating that apparently Hepatitis A (and possibly Hepatitus E) can survive for months, including but not limited to the conditions you posted.
