How many ways do you want, because that's actually the beauty of Photoshop; so many ways to do things.
Try this:[list][*]
Image/adjust/threshold and move the slider until you see what you like (ignore the noise).[*]
Filter/blur/Gaussian blur (I don't have an exact radius that you should use, because that all depends on the resolution, but keep it low, enough to make the 'noise' disappear or fade away, whatever you want to call it)[*]To sharpen the final image;
Image/adjustments/levels and move the top three sliders towards each other. How close to each other? That's when you have to experiment. Sometimes it's best to move them close to each other in the middle, sometimes left or right, again, experiment until you have a result that looks sharp and has all the black details you want.[/list:u]Don't forget and that counts for all methods to create these B&W images; with some images you will have better results than with others. Do make sure that you use images of a good quality and above all avoid those with lots of jpeg artifacts.
