No, I think it is really a good point. I have always felt a little differently on two points. One, I think I lot of guys know how to prep and most know how to build lather. If they don't they learn quickly.

Where I think guys really screw up is that, deep in the recesses of their experience, their skin really does know what a razor feels like. They know what a razor feels like, but, for some reason they try to shave with a piece of metal that does not feel or act like a razor.

Then, for some odd reason, they complain about the shave, irritation, or whatever. I did the same thing, of course. It's natural.

A sharp razor, properly stropped, held at the right angle and used with a light touch feels just like any other razor against the skin.

The real smart ones do a lot of reading or get instruction first, the minute they realize things don't feel right.
