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.

I came here to say my safety razor from 1932 that I use daily, but you beat me by a couple decades!

My absolute favorite! And a good pickup on your side. Gem gang represent.

I find it so surprising that the single edge gem blades didn't take over the shaving world, compared to the standard double edged safety razor. The angle is built right into the razor head, it's essentially idiot proof!

Safety single edge. The only razor I’ve ever been comfortable with.
