I have been using knit/crochet wool for a few months and have a couple pieces that are getting really pilly. I have no idea what to use or how to go about shaving them. Help!

I just use a cheap disposable razor in short strokes.

I just did that yesterday and it was super easy. I had to kind of go back and forth in small strokes or all of the stuff got stuck I just did it light and not too yard to snag/wreck the yarn and it was fine! And holy cow it adds up fast!

Why have I never thought of using a disposable razor?!
