They're both important and it's senseless pitting one against the other. Both should be explored and made to serve your shave.
You don't need expensive equipment, but you do need the right equipment. This is particularly true for blades. The single greatest leap forward in my shave quality was finding blades that agreed with my skin and beard. While technique is enormously important, indeed, probably the most influential factor, blade choice isn't far behind.
