Shaving is gay. I suffer from this same experience.
What I do is shave it first with the trimmer on the electric shaver. Then I use the normal shaving part. Then I shaving cream the hell out of my face and shave with the grain. Then I shaving cream the hell out of it again and shave against the grain. After that I look super close and go over anything I missed with just the razor.
Seriously, its super stupid though.

This is how I do it, it's that shave against the grain that gets it close.
I just use the trimming bit of an electric razor (that you have to push out) then go over with the normal. Anything else is just unneccesary womanlike behaviour

What electric razor would you recommend?
Btw thanks for all the replies. All this insight is showing me how much it must suck to be a girl.
Oh god I ran all my stuff into siege tanks... shnarf.

Dude, I'm a 19 year old virgin.
Notthing wrong with that, you ask some others here for an honest reply and I'd bet there are more than you think, I can honestly say I was in that situation too.
With regards the problem, shaving with the grain to lop the tree down to size, then foam and against the grain to get proper smoothness, although that'll only last 12 hrs tops before you start getting sandpaper again.
Shave after a shower since the steam softens your beard. Let the cream soak into your beard a little bit. Shave the thin stuff first and the thick last to let the cream go to work even more. Shave against the grain for a close shave.
My beard isn't too thick so it's easy for me but I can't see how doing the above won't give you a close shave. Use a sharp razor obviously. If you want a ridiculously close shave learn to use an old-style safety razor or a straight blade, but now we're entering into serious time cost/benefit tradeoffs... You should be able to get "close enough" with a standard razor and the above technique.
