Just want to point out that the prosthelytizers of DE shaving tend to be a self selecting group of those who happend to have great success with their particular beards and that razor. There are many, many, different beards though.

I tried DE and it simply did not shave as well as gilette, no matter what the blade. I had a permanent 5'oclock shadow because of how thick and dark my beard is where as gilette was a clean shave with zero effort.

Point is, whatever razor works for you, works for you. End of story.

It can also depend on the razor you get. Some DEs are specifically designed to give you a less close shave, in order to limit ingrown hair. The same models are often recommended to first-time buyers, too, because it's not so easy to nick yourself with them.
