Cartoid incision with an open DE razor

[noiloone]

I am a regular SH-er, and have negligible SI at this point of my life. I have chosen to end it all by nicking (or slitting) my cartoid by making a forceful and abrupt horizontal slash in the cartoid triangle (under the earbone).

I am well aware that the consensus here leans towards cutting being a non-method. I firmly disagree with this for the specific case of the cartoid, especially in the cartoid triangle (where it's just under 2cm beneath the surface for a lean adult like me). I have read fairly well about the neck anatomy.

Back to the question, what tool should I buy online to use? I don't think a regular knife would be sharp enough for a swift execution (rather than painfully stabbing myself several times). So I was thinking of either a double-edgwd open razor (the concern being the rectangular cavity in the middle), or a box-cutter (the concern being its flexible nature).

I would highly appreciate anyone linking me resources regarding this, including:

(i) What tools to use
(ii) The optimal orientation to cut
(iii) The way of incision; a fast horizontal slice, or a slow but forceful deep cut?
(iv) How to fight SI/reflexes (use a cloth to cover the mouth? or restrain myself completely?)
(v) How to maximize lethality (stay upright on the seat? or lay down? or even turn on the shower to maximize blood loss?)

It's not my first post here regarding the same, and I would highly appreciate refraining from telling me how it's a bad idea and a "non-method". I'm in very dire circumstances, which I believe wouldn't be very hard to comprehend. Thanks in advance.

this method is very unreliable dont do that, you may not bleed out for hours

Would you please mind elaborating or at least linking a reliable source to support these otherwise empty claims? I'm tired of unwantadly soliciting such responses one after the other after each post. I just want closure regarding the matter...

the amount of things that can go wrong is exorbitant. are you a surgeon? you really think you can do that with the surgical precision necessary? thats foolish

I would highly advise against this method but if you're intent on going through with it this is what I've heard through the grapevine.

1. Something as sharp as possible, surgical grade scalpel would be best but a regular sharp razor blade could do the trick. Anything duller just disregard.
2. I'm not sure the optimal orientation to cut the carotid but you want to avoid paralyzing yourself or damaging nerves (if possible) before you're able to sever the artery so do your own research on that sorry I couldn't be more helpful with this one.
3. From my experience shing and watching videos of people cutting deep you want to do fast, forceful slashes. Press down with strong pressure and then make a quick swipe. You will likely need several cuts to reach the artery. Once you reach the artery good luck, I've heard they are hard to cut through with conventional blades.
4. You probably cannot do this method sober. Some intense painkillers and I imagine some kind of depressant would be necessary to dull your senses. I'm no drug expert though so consult someone who is.
5. You'd ideally want to drink plenty of water beforehand and also soak in warm water to basically I think bring the artery closer to the surface? Not exactly sure as to the medical reasoning but this is something that pretty much everyone says about this method so I'm just repeating what I've heard.

Again I highly, highly advise against this method but if you are dead set on doing it then make sure you succeed. Do tons of research and preparation, if you fail nerve damage is extremely likely. I hope you're able to find your peace <3.
