Safety razors are probably the easiest/nicest. Replacement blades are ultra cheap and last longer than cartridge razors while also providing the closeness of a straight razor. Best of both worlds.
The most important part of a good shave is a sharp blade and a nice shaving cream. www.theartofshaving .com/ has a very nice shaving cream. A small amount goes a VERY long way- the nicer the brush the longer it goes.
It goes without saying that you should use a cream that you have to lather. There are some high protein soap bars with silk and junk in them that make them good enough to wash your face and shave at the same time, but its probably best to use a dedicated product (also to prevent any dryness).
