An adapter is needed to use a North American shaver in Europe. European outlets are a different size along with a different voltage that you shaver is rated for. An Adapter will take care of both of these problems.

Can you change the 1 amp fuse on a shaver adapter to a higher voltage so you can use it with something else?

Changing a fuse size does not change the voltage output. An adapter is a transformer. The transformer in this adapter has a set of turn ratios determined by the manufacturer to produce a specific secondary voltage when inputted with a specific voltage. You may be able to use the adapter on another device but it has to conform to the specifications of the adapter as it now stands. The fuse protects the primary side of the adapters transformer so as to not overload the transformer. If the fuse is up sized then the risk of overloading the adapter becomes a possibility. This could burn the windings of the transformers secondary and render the adapter useless.
