Joking aside, I wish I had bought AP Shave and PAA synthetic brushes much earlier.
I also wish I had bought less lesser quality soaps in the early days and used that money to buy some of the soaps I now own.
What do you wish you tried earlier in wet shaving journey

What are those soaps Chris?
I wish I'd bought a shaving bowl earlier on, even if face lathering is very enjoyable, bowl lathering also has it's times.

Discovering the virtues of SE razors earlier. I could always have wished I'd learnt straights years back but not too hassled as SE's give me everything and more.
I should have joined TSR a long time back as what a super forum to be a member of and what a lovely bunch onboard.

Trying out a Feather AS-D2. After my first shave with it Irealised that my search for my personal holy grail was at an end. Sold the rest on, and use my Feather exclusively since that day.

Me too Chris
I would sometimes have a quick look at TSR, but didn't join until 2017.
I really ought to have tried more razors sooner - having used a Merkur Futur exclusively for over 7 years.
Same with soaps - I went through every one of Trumpers creams, one at a time, and in between, Body Shop Maca Root and Palmolive Classic Cream.
I guess I have been trapped in the DE rabbit hole for a few years, but now I've discovered how good the Hawk V3 is, I find myself looking at other SE's already.

A lot of love in the house for the Feather AS-D2 ,it is a fine razor indeed not as fine as the WS-D2 but a fine razor none the less!
So I wished I had tried the WS-D2 earlier on my shaving Journey.

Alot of people will be thinking it's only a cosmetic thing, it's not!
The lighter weight and longer handle give it perfect balance, for me it is the perfect Feather Razor!

It is very aesthetically pleasing originally I was going to go for it but thought I’d try the asd2 first to see if I likes it. I wouldn’t get rid of the asd2 though would keep both because as you say they are different it’s the longer handle length and weight that appeals to me if it was exactly the same it would have to be instead of the asd2...it’s a good excuse for having bothAlot of people will be thinking it's only a cosmetic thing, it's not!
