Those clothes shavers. They are basically lint removers and also remove those little pills that somehow accumulate all over our garments, right? I want to get one if it serves both functions. I don't get good results when I use tape or those lint rollers covered with tape to remove lint and pills on very delicate items. I am just wondering how long the fabric will hold up if it is being shaved on a regular basis. Couldn't this eventually shave the fabric away to nothing? Am I being as clear as mud?

Consider this before you purchase a "Pill Remover" ~ yes, they are basically a shaver but without the power or stamina of a real electric razor so they really don't do the job they were supposedly designed to do and wear out very quickly (motor gets too hot). When trying to use one I found it extremely frustrating to have to go over the same area on the garment, over and over and over. So instead of using that on the arms and sides of my favorite sweaters, I started going over them very lightly with a regular old disposable razor and ended up with sweaters that look brand new! My only advice on that point is to just "shave" the sweater very lightly, not digging into the knit or fabric, just lightly enough to shave off the unwanted lint and balls. Works great and costs a whole lot less.

They shouldn't be used as lint removers. Use the rollers for lint and the shavers for pills (there will be a lot more lint than pills through the life of the sweater).
If your sweater keeps pilling and pilling, I guess over time you could eventually run down to nothing, but by then the sweater would be unwearable anyway.

Use pedicure scissors and tweezers for that just nit-picked look....
It may be time consuming, but it shows you want nothing but perfection.
I cure the lint ball problem by not purchasing clothes that are prone to do that. This way, I don't waste valuable time trying to shave lint balls.
Sorry, I probably wasn't any help.

per chance there is a few signal, or some thing about the way your communicate, or do no longer communicate, it truly is making all of those women sense uncertain with you. in spite of each and every thing, your chum, the precious one, would not sound like the style to have low self-worth.

Yes, they are. And good at removing those pills of material. As for damage long term on material-I'm not sure-but I would think so.

you have to have a very light touch it should only catch the pills and cut them off.

I was thinking you're sharp as a marble.
They don't make one. At least not as I'm aware.
Invent one.
