Dear Merkur Razors,

As I am sure you are aware lots of depressed and angst ridden teenagers unsuccessfully try to commit suicide every week using “safety” razors. This is kinda tragic.

If your life sucks so bad that you have to attempt suicide, and you screw that up at that, I ask you, what do you have left worth living for? This failure results mostly because they are doing it incorectly! There is obviously a need for an awareness campaign teaching kids how to properly execute this simple technique.

I am enclosing a graphic you could include with each purchased box of razors. This would go a long way toward solving this problem. The poster reads, “It’s ‘down the road’ not ‘across the street.’” This slogan is pretty catchy if you ask me, but feel free to come up with your own!

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen
