It won't be as close as a Mach 3 or Fusion shave. It will rival a good 2-blade disposal razor shave. You'll get much better with multiple passes. Don't be surprised when your face isn't as smooth as it was with a multi blade, but you'll get much less irritation and bumps, if that was a problem for you in the past.
Whats the point if its not as good as my fusion? Is it only the irritation, because I don't have that. I thought these gave better shaves?

I can go against the grain with my DE and get closer than with a cartridge. If I do it everyday, I'll get some razor burn, but not nearly as bad as with a cartridge. If I went against the grain with a cartridge, it would look like someone slit my throat... blood everywhere. The DE just takes more passes. But its like a hot knife through butter. I can go with out shaving for a week, and barely even feel it when I end up shaving.

Speed. Manliness. Cheapness of blades. Speed. Speed. Speed.
Yeah, you can take your time, but I've had to go from a beard to cleanshaven and presentable in a tux in under 10 minutes. No cartridge can rival a DE for speed.
I'm like Picasso with a titanium blade.

No. You can get a closer shave with de than cartridge.
The performance is like this:
Worst- can cream with cartridge
2- can cream with de
3- lather with cartridge
Best- lather with de

Blades are much cheaper. The most expensive DE blade is around 25-30 cents. Most are in the 8-13 cent range. Fusion cartridges are well over a dollar each, and they only last me about as long as a DE blade. With a thick beard, they don't clog up as fast (big problem for me). That's why I switched. I do, now, get my face about as smooth as I ever did with a Fusion but without spending as much. For a while, my face was always a little disappointingly rough.
I almost quit because one particular razor was a little sharper and more aggressive than I was ready for. My face was sore for the first week or so. After sticking with it, it's way cheaper and especially faster for me, since I like to let my facial hair grow for a few days before shaving.
