Ah, nothing like the firm beliefs of a neophyte... Well, apparently CF's "The Pre Shave" is a product made by professionals for professionals, as documented by the fact that beginners like yourself hate it, and experienced members quite like it.

As an aside, and as an objective observation on my behalf, with about a handful of shaves "under my belt", I was too bloody concerned getting the blade angle right to have noticed anything but the razor, and maybe the lather. Or, more to the point, how would you know that the problems you apparently have are caused by the pre shave and not your lack of technique. Because, as our FAQ rather unambiguously states, the learning curve usually lasts months rather than years.
