#12A manual toothbrush. For some reason I enjoy it better than an electric. Same for shaving. I use a safety razor shaver and a shaving brush. I like my morning ritual to be more of a mindful zen style activity.
Also love my muhle safety razor. Also prefer rim brakes over disc on my bicycles. Steel frame bikes. Drive a 2001 corolla. Use a denon 2308 avr amp from 2008. Run hdmi from mini pc into a smart TV that's never seen WiFi or the internet. Run optical from TV into the avr, 3.1 setup. No soundbar. No stream. Everything simple and reliable.

#14The ipod still works better
What about battery life? I bought a cheap Chinese MP3 player online and it works wonders. I use it with some regular wired headphones as well.

I have been using a straight razor for about 30 years. It is nice to not have to buy anything for it (but a little bit of a pain to sharpen).

#16Levers and the inclined plane .. especially those wound in a spiral about a core.
We recently got an elevator for my mother, so pulleys.

Just for interest .. that doesn't always follow, a neighbour recently installed a screw lift elevator from garage sub level to their living floor level - no pulleys!
(But good use of an inclined plane wound about a column.)
