Very risky; not many good barbershops that can give a good shave these days and certainly will not match your best efforts.Got a barbershop nearby? If so go there for a shave and compare the result!
No point getting out the shower drying your face then adding product like a preshave imo, just leave your face wet and add much more cream to your bush than a "pea" sized amount. That's a big red flag for me right there as I suspect the quality of your lather (ing) hasn't been adequate...use plenty of product and practice. Start using a bowl too, once you know what your doing and what to look for you can move to face lathering.

I didn't mean to be completely dismissive of your advice but if a product kills lather be it on a wet or dry face I just wouldn't recommend it whether it works for you or not. Usually when someone's struggling the cause(s) are usually more fundamental and in this case I think it could be lather quality or lack of, spend 15 minutes practicing making it thick and slick and that will save the OP a countless number of poor shaves as well as pre-shave.
I know this is going to sound a little on the sad side but I've sometimes loaded my brush and made a test-lather either in a bowl or on my hand to get a feel for certain soaps on days where I don't shave. Yes, it's a little wasteful but I can see where I need it to be for it to do its job properly. It gives an indication as to how much water it'll take on as well as how long to load for, what it feels like at peak slickness, what the lather is supposed to look like etc...Usually when someone's struggling the cause(s) are usually more fundamental and in this case I think it could be lather quality or lack of, spend 15 minutes practicing making it thick and slick and that will save the OP a countless number of poor shaves as well as pre-shave.
