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.

    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.

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

    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.

    About 15 years go I had to go somewhere that was much much colder than I anticipated, so we made an emergency drive to the closest town, and I bought the warmest jacket they had. It was like $300, but I never regretted it. Its the most practical, comfy, jacket ive ever owned and doesn’t look half bad - even has a hoody you can clip on and off. Got me through snow as well, but its not water proof.

    Love that jacket.

    The radio alarm clock, couldn’t find the specific year only to narrow towards the late 70s.

    My flat, the building was built around the beginning of the 70s.

    Fender Stratocaster, bought from a Best Buy musical instrument department probably 19ish years ago. Just put new strings on it yesterday and continued learning Dokken’s In My Dreams. Fuck that second part of the solo…

    I use a nice handmade wooden desk every day. No idea how old it is but my mom bought it at an antique store in the 70’s, so it could be 80+ years old. And it’s still in fantastic shape!

    I put a little string of fake pearls on my daughter about every day, and they were mine and my sisters’ when I was a toddler, so they’re about 30. I don’t know how they’ve survived so many toddlers cause they’d break with any real pulling. She loves them though and is very careful with them. She also uses tiny baby sized silverware from my mom’s babyhood(early 70s) It’s cute and funny to watch her use miniature stuff that’s just her size

    I think that’s the oldest thing other than furniture (we use my great grandfather’s bedroom suite)
