Miscellaneous

1. Is there any difference between "clean-shaved" or "clean-shaven"?
Is it possible to say: "well-shaved"?
2. Is there any antonym to "frank" or "frankness" - "infrank" or something like this? (I haven't heard of, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist:))
3. What's the difference "authentic" and "authenticated"? Aren't they synonyms?
4. Is there a noun of the verb "deceive" (except "deceiver")?
5. Is there negative of "sensual"?

Thank you very, very much in advance!
