Discussion Favorite thing to self harm with?

[UninformedLover]

What's your favorite tool/object to use to self harm? For me... It used to be double-edged razor blades, the thin ones people use for shaving because they're so sharp and it's easy to go deep but after someone recommended an eyebrow razor then that became my new favorite.

I bought a facial razor today to try but I'm pretty sure its no different than an eyebrow razor (sharpness wise).

A double sided razor or a box cutter

broken glass, i think it makes nicer scars than metal like a razor.

 

[Freedombus'25]

Pencil sharpener blade.

in the last millennium I preferred cigarettes and razor blades
the extra-thin razor blades caused enormous damage

box cutter!:3

Double-edged razor blades. I find box cutter knives to feel too dull and uncomfortable and, while I like pencil sharpener blades, they are also just too dull. Scissors don't do shit, nor do most kitchen knives. I tend to find that razor blades provide me with the sharpness I need in order to be able to accurately control how deep I cut and they feel nice (as in they don't feel "rough" on my skin the same way box cutters do).

Double-edge razor blades. I don't think I have ever tried anything else besides cigarettes burns though. Still, razor blades are cheep and easy to find so I don't think I'll change them for anything else.

No 11 scalpel blade

Though I have a decent knife for deeper cuts, I usually just stick to the serrated steak knives since they're easy to keep in the house, just got to sharpen them between uses since they get blunt quickly.

double edged razor blades for normal cuts and for "deep" ones i preffer the single edged razor blades. Boxcutters and knifes dont cut so well and i feel like i dont have "control" over my cuts that i do with razor blades.

 

[Mytimeisending]

Razor blades used to be my go to

 

[tapetum_lucidum]

So many replies about double-edged razors, I would be too scared to accidentally nick my fingers lol. I use the single-sided ones, cliche as it is. They work great.

In my sh I haven't ever used blades. I often think about them, but I'm scared to cross that line. My sh is blunt force. I hit my head. I used to use my fists, but I typically go for walls now. After some time I've become sensitive to the quality of the wall. The last time it was cement wall with a laminated covering. I find I fantasize about using a hammer, but I'm scared.

Regarding blades, I have a very sharp small Japanese kitchen knife that I rare use. I sometimes hold it, close to cutting, but I haven't yet.

My first ctb attempt was when I was 16 and tried to cut myself with a flat double edged razor. I skimmed the surface, but couldn't commit. This makes me feel I still couldn't, but I have the craving.

doesnt the glass fragment in the cut? i thought it would like get in your wound and get infected

 

[Jadedmeursault9]

Booze or negative attention from loved ones brought onto myself on purpose. Or caffeine (I react to it really badly.)

Idk. I don't drink anymore though. But it was always my favorite. I feel like at a certain point, you find yourself in a cycle and when the thoughts of "I wanna feel better" collide with "I deserve pain" you find a lot of it is brought upon yourself. You can't want to be better and, well, not be. You have to make a choice.

I don't cut anymore, but my favorite are big box cutters, Going hard + fresh blades
