If the fuse is to protect the shaver, that's one thing, but if it is to protect the shaver and the adapter, that's another.
You're right. The original device used by the adaptor (or the adaptor itself) could be damaged by too high a fuse value allowing excess current to be drawn. I was focused on protecting the Kindle charger- my bad.
