Angle of the blade is important as well as technique when dealing with certain areas. Don't chip away shave like you do with multiblade setups but go for long passes and focus on letting the razor do it's job.
Several passes with the grain or against can result in in bbs (baby butt smoothness) but really it is all technique. Years ago I would shave for ultimate smoothness and just enjoy the entire process. Preperation, passes and scents as well as after care treatments. But now I focus on speed and results and generally can lather, shave and clean up all within a few minutes. It really is getting used to your equipment, quality of equipment, proper technique and experience. Also, don't use shave gels and aerosol lather, using a decent brush and good shave soap will give better results and won't dry out your face. And never skimp on blades. Find good ones and don't use dull blades as they are cheap and you should switch them up regularly.
Hope this helps.
