I'm sorry, did you just use the terms "tug free" and "mach 3" in the same sentence? I am no master shaver by anyone's stretched imagination least of all mine, and I have had less nicks, cuts, burn and tugging from my straight, even when I was playing around before I got my stones and sharpened it with some 2000 wet'n'dry, than I ever had with a mach 3. There wasn't a shave went by that thing didn't try to amutate part of my face.
