I want to thank all of you for your responses, believe me, they are more than appreciated.
I've tried and tried and tried straight razor shaving, but it's not giving me the desired results. Honestly, my safety razor gives me a much better, closer shave. My issue with the SR is that under my chin and my neck, my beard grows in the opposite direction of shaving with the straight razor. I've tried every angle possible and I've cut the heck out of myself, yes I've been patient, but it's just not working. So, in the end I'm going to stick with my grandfathers old safety razor.
Thanks for all of your advice and many happy shaves in the future!
