My safety razor. It's a 1955 Gillette Super Speed that I bought in 2015, and use it every few days, obviously. I actually have a lot of vintage items, but none have seen as much use by me as my razor.

Correction: my oldest possession which sees constant use is actually my "unbreakable" carbon comb that I bought new sometime between '09-'11. Now that I use daily.

Is it a Chicago comb?

It's actually a Kent Brushes SPC80 comb. I actually spent the better part of an hour finding it online, but it was that distinctive beige packaging that pointed me in the right way. No forgetting that royal seal of approval.

Definitely gifting my brother a Chicago comb after he gets back from his trip to Turkey :)

I feel you, I browsed combs for just as long before deciding on my model 1 Chicago comb, after my hair kept getting snagged in the bent tooth of my cheap Walmart comb.

Edit: thank you for the link!
