The Musgo Real #2 cologne (Oak Moss) has a fantastic grassy scent.
For a cooling ASB, I really like Proraso. THAT will help a rough shave.

+1 for the CSF fragrance. Other favourites have come and gone but I have ALWAYS had a bottle of CSF on my shelf. And if you happen to get a little burn, it cools it right down.
I would also love to find an EDC/EDT with a similar rose fragrance. Women seem to love it -- I've lost count of the number of times I've gone to give a female friend a peck on the cheek when saying hello and they've commented on the CSF fragrance immediately.
I only use as after shave. Tried pre-shave once and it didn't make a huge difference.
As I think another mentioned, the scent of the Coral Skin Food seems to fade away very quickly. I am fine with the scent although I might try a bottle of the lime next... however, a little goes a LOOOONG way and so it may be some time before I need some. :)
I have to say, you're not, Ivo :).
I use CSF all the time. It's perfect as a pre-shave, but I find it works best when you add a lot of hot water. Sometimes it's good to put on as a pre-shave right after you take off the hot towel. I had an amazingly refreshing shave this week like this. I have to agree that Trumpers' soaps go very well with this combination too.
I wouldn't use CSF though as an after shave balm in the dry, crisp winter months though. It's not very moisturising.
I have also just bought my first tub of Tabac soap, so I wonder how well that will go down with the CSF...
