+1 and ditto to that statement. I have a razor, circa late 1800's, that shaves great and will probably be around long after I am gone.

Of course, quality is also important. A pricey razor in 1850 would last longer than an inexpensive razor today. Ceteris paribus, a razor bought today would last longer than an old one. Depends on the amount of honing, of course.
I wonder if I should have my name inscribed on my razor so that somebody will remember me in a hundred years. Wouldn't that be cool?
if maintained properly razors last at least few lifetimes of regular use.
