Straight Razor - bad idea?

[EastTexas]

I have lately been considering a Straight Razor - bad idea?

WHY? Because I don't get a decent close shave out of anything. The reason may be I'm 1/8 American Indian and have slow growing beard.

I had over the years:

3 different Norelco's the last one made in China 8(
2 different Remington's The first one, had blades there were like a row staples. The other one was an Rotary Design.
1 Panasonic
2 Wahl's - very close red shave; on the bright side blades and head are cheap to replace.
1 Braun


Single blade or double razors seams to give me a good wet shave.
I don't like 3 or more blades, they cost too much and don't seam to be any better.

My Single-Blade is the old Gillette Safety Razor.
