Are you using canned shaving cream? I could never get a close shave with that stuff.

I use a Gillette Fusion with Gillette shaving gel. I shave with the grain first, and then I go back and shave against the grain. I have a pretty coarse beard, but I usually get a close shave doing it that way. The Gillette Fusion razors have an extra blade for trimming sideburns and beards which is very helpful also.
If that doesn't work go get a straight blade and use some hot shaving cream.

My electric works great. My wife pays extra attention to me after I shave.

I read some hogwash about how you have to give an electric razor 30 days or so, becuase your face has to 'adapt' to it...something about how the regular razors actually remove skin cells, but the electric doesn't, so it won't be a super close shave for the first few weeks...
Turns out it was completely true. I haven't used a regular razor for years. My face is as smooth as Kenny G's elevator. Electric is so flipping easy.
