I can't understand why razor blades are still associated with suicide. How many chances are there of finding Voskhod blades in the bathroom of a modern teenager? Everyone has somehow forgotten how thousands of teenagers poisoned themselves with match heads, but refuse to do so with blades.
And frankly, I think there's a lot of corporate involvement. Cut-throat razors or suicide blades whose patent expired in the 70s are bad because they are durable and cheap, but electric smart razors or blades in proprietary cartridges are good because they bring their creators super profits.
