Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.

    Not exactly daily but the shovel I use to clean out my grill ashes was my grandfather’s, hand forged and used for branding iron fires, gotta be 100 years old. Then a phonograph from 1960.

    Used to use a double edge razor from the 1960s, I still have it. Gillette Slim.

    I just use a modern DE instead, 2015 I think. Feather AS-D2.

    Both of them will probably outlast me. Especially the Feather, even though it’s newer and therefore theoretically made with less care, it was made in Japan, and it’s entirely stainless steel, not pot metal. Very strong. You’d need to run it over with a truck to break it.

    If cared for, nothing is stopping the Gillette from going another 60 years either.

    Probably my Granddads 1950s East German office chair. Got it when he passed since I always used to sit in it when drawing at his desk.

    Gas spring is a bit leaky and the leather is a bit faded but it’s more solid and comfy than anything new under €500 I tried.

    I wear a cord jacket from first grade as a bolero (I’m in my mid 30s). I got older stuff but this usually weirds people out.

    My house is from 1884 so that’s used pretty often.

    I’ve moved continents so I haven’t brought too many older items with me generally speaking

    “Heet” liniment. I have an old bottle found when my father died. It still burns but it helps with the arthritis and other pain.

    I have a cheap plastic hair brush my mum bought me over 40 years ago when I was about 6 or 7, she said it cost a dollar and surprised I still use it daily.

    There is nothing wrong with it, so it lives on.
