I just bought my first big full set, it's the Giraults. I left them in the box, they look pretty that way  and figure it'll be easy to carry around. When I get bolder, I might put the portrait colors closer together. The assortment of Doaks, I arranged them by placing portrait colors closer to me, dark to light. I plan to get the set of Unison's, will do the same with them after more experience. I personally favor the harder pastels for now, I'm still nervous using the softer ones.
As for cleaning my hands, I use baby wipes, they work grrrrr-eat.

Pastels like any medium are personal, some like a crisper line, some like a whisper touch.
That said Bob Straus, of The Great American Atworks Company just returned my phone call. He is the maker of The Great American Pastel.
They are sold in the Paris Sennelier store, Couleurs du Quai Voltaire www.magasinsennelier.com, 3 Quai Voltaire. They are not mentioned on the website but the contact information for the store is. He said that Dominique Sennelier will be there Monday to help ypu.
