I’ve always heard dull blades are the most dangerous, but whenever I nick myself shaving my legs it’s always with a new blade. Does the dull blade thing only apply to kitchen knives and not razors?

It might help to think of it this way: a super sharp blade might cut you more easily when you get cut, but you are less likely to actually get cut. A dull knife will be much more likely to actually cut you, and the damage will not be as clean
