very very rarely if you have hsv1 (usally oral herpes) will you develop genital.
this doesnt look or sound like it however.

Its a tricky one. Usually it's 2-21 days post exposure. If you already get oral cold sores it's more the likely HSV1. HSV2 doesn't tend to develop orally (but still can). Given that you've HSV1 already and you got oral from your gf it would more then likely be HSV1 she's passing. Your body already as resource to fight this virus and help keep it dormant so it wouldn't be able to effect other places like the genitals. If you give your gf unprotected oral knowing you have a history of coldsores she is actually at a higher risk of getting genital herpes then you. Unless she gets oral coldsores also.
Herpes is passed from skin to skin contact, it has a very short life span out side the body so it's not usually passed from items like glasses,cups, cutlery ect, you would have had to kiss him really. But since you have cold sores previously it wouldn't be a problem.
The sore throat could possible be you were run down or your gf has some sort of sore throat. I wouldnt pay much attention to that.
The regrowth post shaving can cause a itch.
Also the itch and chaffing could just he like jock itch or something funal related due to heat.
If your really worried go get a docs opinion but visually everything looks fine. Try not to worry 😃
