The evercare Fabric Shaver is amazing. The Fabric Shaver is described by its manufacturer as a "Heavy Duty Battery Operated Fuzz Remover". Given my recent experience with the product this seems like a more than fair assessment.
This small hand held unit operates on two AA batteries and could not be easier to use. I recently bought mine on a whim while shopping at The Container Store for $6.99. I bought the Fabric Shaver for the sole purpose of hoping to repair and silk and cashmere sweater I had ruined in the wash over a year ago when the sweater was accidentally washed with an item that had a Velcro enclosure. The Velcro of course created a ton of pilling on the sweater to the point that I could not wear the sweater in public. Hoping I would one day find a cure for the sweater I kept it, glad I did as I just found a cure.
The Fabric Shaver did a wonderful job of cleaning all the pilling from my sweater without creating and accidentally shaver damage,amazing. This gadget more than paid for itself after just one use. I was so excited after shaving my sweater I tried it out on a 3 year old soft shell which has had its share of pulls and pillings from encounters with a number of tree branches while skiing and climbing. While I can't say that my old soft shell looks like new, it certainly does not look old. I did manage to create a knick in my old soft shell when trying to repair a rather large pull, but that was as much my fault as it was the Fabric Shaver.
Overall I am a major proponent of the Fabric Shaver. It does exactly what it says it will, is easy to use and inexpensive. I did have a bit of trouble opening the battery cover and clippings compartments, but those are minor annoyances. You got to love any sort of gadget that pays for itself in one use.
