Don't have those, but the Black Code is definitely on my list. I have heard good things about it. I just got the Awakenings yesterday and it is aptly named. That will open your eyes in the morning!

That was actually next on my list, maybe Ill order it soon. How is it in the winter? Does the cooling effect dry out your skin in the cold winter months?
You can definitely feel the menthol on your face, I find it very nice. I live in San Diego, though so a "cold" day here is when it doesn't break 65 degrees. I guess that doesn't really constitute winter testing conditions.

Haha, no I wouldnt exactly consider that blizzard weather. Is it moisturizing though?
Well, it has tea tree oil in it which I think is more of a drying agent. I didn't feel like it dried my skin out, but I wouldn't say I found it super moisturizing.

Early today my order came in, a total of 3 days for shipping. Thats really good IMO, especially post christmas. I asked for one of the little scent cards with awakenings, but instead sue sent me a sliver of it to test 
thanks sue!
Anyways, when I first opened up the celestial waters soap, I didnt really like it. Although I did really like the black code shave stick. But after taking a few more whiffs and lathering with both, the cw is starting to grow on me.
CW almost smells a bit like soap, but with a tropical mixture in it. Its actually hard to explain, Im probably messing up the description. Thats just what I think of. When you start the lather, the scent power grows stronger, but the scent itself mellows out and becomes very relaxing.
It also gave me the best lather I've EVER made. Tons and tons of creamy rich lather that was slick and very moisturizing. I didnt shave with it but the lather was great.
The black code smells great but Im not quite used to lathering with a shave stick. Once I get better it'll be perfect though.
Great soaps, thanks a lot sue.
