Well, I got my order on Tuesday (Trade Winds and Tuscan Memories). I have to admit that my first use (Trade Winds) wasn't positive at all. My face burned all day. Sue, before reacting to that comment let me qualify it. First I'm a newbie, so I am learning (6 total shave) the fine art of shaving with the straight. The scent was nice. But it seemed to have a very strong presence of menthol (or is that the mint?). I learned something shaving this morning. I lessened my angle of attack of the blade, and I used my CS-Rose soap. In doing these two things I changed two variables in the problem. The lesser angle allowed the razor to slice through whiskers rather than tugging them out. I have never had any facial issues with the CS soaps. Tomorrow I will try the Tuscan Memories and see how that works. But I must say the scents are very nice. I am also looking with interest at the Green Irish Tweed.
