I should have said better prep and technique. Nowadays M3 shavers don't bother prepping their beard, stretching their skin, or doing multiple passes. But if you do all those things that you normally do with a straight or DE, but use an M3 then you get a really impressive shave, much much better than our collective memory of what a "M3 shave" was like, because those shaves were generally unprepped, unstretched, single pass shaves. And that prickly stubble was largely an artifact of this lousy prep and technique than of the razor being used.
