THE ATHENA JUST SHINES
Today's shave was the first time I used the Suneko blade with the Athena. I had tried this blade before in other razors and it was just OK. I thought the Athena might bring the reaction up a bit with this blade. I was right. Just a remarkable tool that can use nearly every blade I have tried. Keep in mind, when I say that, I have no where near the selection of blades as so many others on this forum. Is the Suneko better than the Gillette Black, Accurforge, Accuthrive, PermaSharp, Nacet or Wizamet, NO it isn't, but it isn't that far behind either. I did find I needed to buff a bit more with this blade.
