I'm still brand new to all of this, but my first wax purchase was the KY Perfect Blend & KY Parasoy (for my tarts). To me, both are fantastic waxes and I don't see myself every trying anything else. The only minor problem I had in the beginning were sinkholes....got that one fixed with a simple solution. Basically, my only problems at this point is getting the right colors I want. I think some people enjoy candlemaking for the science that it involves, so they go with either all paraffin or all soy...that way, they get to play around with additives, etc. I personally don't have the time to play "mad scientist", so I prefer the blended waxes. With my KY Perfect Blend, it's been a breeze....and I have to agree with what Maggie said....the customer service (and Vickey) is top notch!!
