Amazon Prime Day just dropped a deal for something I use all the time to keep some of my prized possessions in good condition. If my house was burning down, my soccer shirt collection is the first non-living thing I would think about grabbing.
Some of them are older than me, some of them are now several sizes too small, some I bought last month. All are special, all have meaning and all of them added together amount to a pretty decent chunk of change.
But they’re also prone to developing those annoying little fabric pills. You know the ones, the little bobbles and pulls. If they catch on something it could ruin a shirt.
If you haven’t heard of the Philips Fabric Shaver, please let me blow your mind.
The fabric fibres in soccer shirts are prone to come loose. There’s no way to stop it aside from keeping your shirt in a glass box (note a couple of my shirts are actually in glass frames).
It makes the jerseys look worn out. After speaking to some fellow shirt nerds, a couple recommended the Philips Fabric Shaver. When I looked on Amazon, I found 118k others had reviewed it positively.
How it works, you switch it on and hover it over the protruding bobble, it magically shaves it off into a container which can easily be removed and emptied. Believe me, it's a deeply satisfying process!
It runs on batteries (I’ve never changed mine in years), is the size of a small soda can and weighs about seven ounces.
