(!buyitforlife)

So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Saddleback leather wallets and Merkur Futur double edged safety razor.

I bought my wallet twenty years ago and it still looks great. And for the razor I bought it in 2003 and I’ve spent about $30 in razors since then. The thing is solid titanium so it’s never gonna break.
