Description
These are two battery powered fabric shavers with triple blade heads that cut the pills and bobbles off knitwear rather than dragging them - $22.99 for the pair, running on two AA batteries each. Colours are sent at random.
A pilled jumper looks old long before it is worn out, and that is the whole problem worth solving here. Pills form where fabric rubs - under the arms, along the sides, wherever a bag strap sits - and no amount of washing removes them. A rotating blade under a mesh guard shears them off flush with the fabric surface, which restores the look of the garment in a way nothing else does. Two units in a pack is genuinely useful: one lives in the laundry and one goes in a suitcase or stays at work.

Why Choose a Battery Fabric Shaver
-
It cuts rather than drags - a rotating blade shears pills off flush, which is what actually restores a jumper.
-
Triple blade head - more cutting edges means fewer passes over the same patch.
-
Two units - one for the laundry and one for a bag, or one to lend and not lose.
-
Faster on heavy pilling - a powered blade handles a badly pilled wool coat far quicker than a manual tool.
-
Runs on AA batteries - no charging, no dock, no proprietary cable.
Electric Shaver or Manual Lint Remover?
They do genuinely different jobs and it is worth choosing on that rather than on price. An electric shaver has a rotating blade that cuts pills off, which is more thorough on badly pilled knitwear and considerably faster over a large area like a coat or a couch. A manual tool like our copper head lint remover drags fibres off without cutting - gentler, no risk of a blade catching a loose knit, and it never needs batteries. For heavy pilling on thick jumpers, the shaver. For lint, fuzz and pet hair, and for delicate garments, the manual one. Plenty of households own both.
How Do You Use One Without Damaging a Garment?
Lay the item completely flat on a hard surface - never shave a garment while wearing it or while holding it up, because the fabric bunches and the blade can catch a fold and cut a hole straight through. Move the head in slow circles with light pressure, letting the blade do the work. Empty the lint chamber often, since a full chamber stops the head sitting flat. Test an inconspicuous area first on anything loosely knitted, cashmere, or with a raised pattern. Avoid seams, buttonholes and anything with loose threads.
What Fabrics Should You Avoid?
Anything very loosely knitted, open weave, or with long fibres such as mohair and angora - the blade can catch a whole strand rather than a pill. Avoid raised patterns, cables and embroidery, where the head cannot sit flat and the high points get cut. Sequinned or beaded fabric is a definite no. Fine knits are possible but need real care and a very light touch. Where you are unsure, the manual lint remover is the safer tool because there is no blade to catch.
Buyers are people with a wardrobe of wool and knitwear, anyone with a fabric couch that has gone bobbly, and people trying to get another season out of clothes rather than replacing them. It also sells to op shops and clothing resellers, who use them to refresh stock.
