If it's truly daily use only, then surprising myself, I think it might actually be my phone.

A large tooth comb I’ve had since middle school. I used it everyday until a couple of years ago when I switched to a brush better designed for my hair type, but I still use it on occasion. Not sure how I haven’t lost that thing throughout the years.
ETA: I’ve had the thing for over 2 decades!
P-38 can opener from World War II. This little thing is the best can opener I've ever owned.
Drat, I was hoping it was shaped like a little Lockheed Lightning.
- house, built in 1900
- me, built in 1974
- pocket knife, built in 1994
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.
I have a Razer mousepad that I've used for probably 15 years now.
3 piece safety razor from the 1950s. And soon a watch from 1950 too. Its a wind up watch.
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.
My wallet is the last piece of leather I will ever own.
My '97 car?
Clothing? Furniture?
My 1880 foursquare.
The house that I'm in was built in the 1950's. It's small but cozy!
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.
I bought recently a Psion Revo organizer and now use it to, well, organize my life
My flat was built in the 70s. So probably that. My violin is much older but I don't play much these days (certainly not daily).
Probably my original day 1 psp.
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.
"Heet" liniment. I have an old bottle found when my father died. It still burns but it helps with the arthritis and other pain.
