t-grain shine

from Joe Holcombe (joe1013_@excite.com)
i've recently been testing some tmx 100 and delta 100 for the first time since i've been seriously into darkroom work, i have to say i'm quite amazed by the acutance with rodinal, i didn't think my enlarger lens was capable of such resolving! positives aside, i'm wondering why almost all the portrait shots have shiny glaring skin areas on the prints, this "feature" does not seem to occur with my plus-x shots in identical lighting, is it some kind of spectral sensitivity these t-grain films have? anyone else notice this and find a way to cut the shine back some(powdering the face is not an option here)? thanks for any tips & i'll post if i figure out something that helps
