The closest shaves I've ever had were with a straight razor and DE safety razor.
However, both require practice a little skill and TIME to get the job done right. Time is the most important thing in getting a good, perfect shave with either. Here are some tips:
1) Some faces requires up to 5 minutes to properly hydrate before shaving. You'll also want to gently clean your face BEFORE your shave.
2) It takes time to get your soap up to a good lather. Don't skimp. Lather that bar up! Also, don't rush when brushing it on. Get good, full coverage. Let the oils in the soap do their job to further moisturize the face.
3) Shave slowly and take care. This is your face. Shave it like you love it!
4) Clean your face really well (but gently) when done, and clean all of your equipment properly too.
5) Apply your any after shave moisturizer and let it dry before going out.
Doing a great shave like this can take 20 minutes or more. So you can see why modern disposable razors are so popular.
