SUNEKO BLADE WITH THE ATHENA SS

I decided to give this new blade a real test, using the GREAT Athena SS.  The blade was sharp and smooth and it created no negative issues.  As I mentioned in a different thread, I am a One and Done blade user, so I have no way of reviewing the longevity of this blade.  Others have used it up to 7 times.  The blade is about $.11/blade on Aliexpress.  I would review the Suneko thread for more detailed reviews.  1st try Suneko Amorphous Diamond blades
The shave today was another homerun using the Athena.  I am beginning to find the right grip and angle for the different parts of my face.  The shave was on 2 days growth and it was a 3 pass shave with some buffing.  Honestly, I think I could have gotten away with a 2 pass shave, WTG & ATG, and that would have been enough.  I am still learning.

getting fitted for my radiotherapy mask on Friday, which involves a scan and setting up the machine to target my cancers.. a big step forward, so I figured I'd better get a shave in today, to give my skin time to settle down.

Best of luck to you this Friday, and in all your treatments thereafter.
