About a week ago, I mentioned that it would not be soon before I tried the Amakuni with a Pro Super. I changed my mind. I can do that with no shame. This morning, a rummage in my box of shaving stuff yielded a neglected pack with 3 blades remaining, so out with the Proline and in with the Super.
Boy, what a difference it makes. It doesn't turn this razor into a carnivore, but it does make it sublimely efficient, and a revelation. Looks like I'm going to have to go shopping again...
