A '''fabric shaver''' (also known as a '''lint shaver''' or '''fuzz remover''') is a handheld electrical device that has a rotating blade underneath a blade net. It allows users to remove [[Lint (material)|fuzz]] and [[Pill_(textile)|pills]] on a fabric without damaging the fabric.{{cite web|url=http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-fabric-shaver.htm|title=What is a Fabric Shaver? (with pictures)|publisher=}} It can be applied on various fabric-made items such as [[bedding]], [[curtain]]s or [[carpet]]s, but is mostly used for removing fuzz from clothing, especially [[sweater]]s, [[Hoodie|hoodies]], or clothes made from [[wool]], [[Angora_wool|angora]] or [[Cashmere_wool|cashmere]].{{cite web|url=http://nymag.com/strategist/2017/02/the-fabric-shaver-i-trust-on-my-favorite-sweaters.html|title=The Sweater De-Piller That I Trust on My Most Beloved Cashmere|first=Katy|last=Schneider|date=6 February 2017 |publisher=}} |

Fabric shavers are normally powered either by non-rechargeable [[dry cell|dry cells]], or with an internal [[rechargeable battery]] and an external charger. To use the fabric shaver, all the user has to do is check its battery, press the on/off button to turn on the motor, and move it across the fabric with the blade net sliding over the surface of the fabric. |
