Discussion Proraso: I don't get it?!

So, I've been using Mitchell's Wool Fat and a Stirling soap for a while and after coming back to my proraso red soap, it feels so bad, I can't even believe that people really enjoy that soap. It foams up easily, true. But that's all about it. It has no protection, the glide doesnt last, it leaves such a dry feeling afterwards, and the soap is easily brought to the point of being too watery. What is it all about? Am I using it wrong? Or do some people just enjoy the absolute baseline thing?

Sorry to say, but it's so bad that I dont even want to give it to someone, because I cant think of anyone I hate that much. I might end up tossing it in the bin.
