Method Can one CTB with a razor blade?

Do you like have to cut at the throat or at the wrist is there better places to cut?

Cutting isn't effective and it's too painful. SI and pain most likely won't let you cut deep enough to actually die. Also you have high chances of ruining your hand mobility if you fail. There's better methods: SN, N, Hanging and perhaps some more people can give you advise on.

You can ctb with a stick if you're determined enough, but why would you?

While it can be done, I can't imagine how painful it would be to use this method. A person would have to be very determined and focused to use this a way to exit.

You definitely can, but it would be agonizing and extremely difficult. Determination and availability of resources are key factors. If it's all that's available to you and you are determined to go, you may be more likely to withstand the pain as you go through it. I would think that in most cases, there are less agonizing options available.

I'd order a surgical blade off eBay or somesuch; not sure if there are restrictions or not. Even then probably take some serious determination.

Also kids remember; down the road not across the street! :-P

Yes, one can ctb with a razor blade. The British politician Lord Castlereagh and the Austrian author Adalbert Stifter both ctb by slitting their respective throats with a long razor. (This was in the 19th century.) Not a pleasant way to go, I would think.

It is bad idea, looking at how many different ways one can ctb, and how many resources one have on that page.
