Hi Kane,
A good question and I bet you’ll get some interesting answers!
For me, I wish I’d known that it was worth spending money on a really good quality iron! It sounds weird but it’s true. In training you spend a lot of time preparing your kit, and a good iron makes all the difference, saving you lots of time in the long run!
