My 2 cents. Most don't use the pre-shave.

You are right on the money. There is a reason it or any other pre shave oil comes in a little jar. You use a tiny bit then you do the work massaging it in. If used right it will not effect your lather in anyway. Pre Shaves and I use one everyday are designed to help your skin not give you a closer shave. They help protect the outer layers of your skin to limit the damage shaving does to it. You can get the closest shave shaving with a Mach multi with no cream. But that will not make your face feel that smooth BBS. What gives you the BBS is how you prep and finish. Same with razors the Multi gives you the closet shave but does not feel as good as a DE or Straight because it destroys your skin. A DE or Straight and proper skin care is what gives you that BBS feel or sticky smooth has Lynn descibes it.
