The CF Sandalwood/Cedarwood I didn't mind the smell. It reminded me of when I was young and riding the school bus or even driving a vehicle down a dusty gravel road.
You can't go wrong with SV. I have Cosmo, 70th Anniversary(similar scent to 1445), Felce Aromatica(or fern) which is my favorite. I also have an Asylum Shave Works(Bullgoose Shaving) and SV collaboration soap named Colonia, which is discontinued or no longer in collaboration together. Nice scent and same great performance.
Wilkinson Sword Classic is one my 2 favorite blades. I was going to mention I had a couple blades that took a shave or two to smooth out. I quit using them. I figure if I can't get a good shave from the first use they aren't worth using in my book. I still tried new blades even though I found that Gillette Permasharp(green box, India) and Wilkinson swords were my top 2 with Feather in 3rd. Nice to see if there may be something better.
