    My OH has no idea how many different uses I can put his disposable razors too!
    get glue/paint on carpet while crafting? easy, let it harden then lift it off with disposable razor.
    Drop ciggy on carpet - same thing - shave the burnt bits off, fuzz it up a bit an no one will know!
    Bobbles on woollies, yes, much cheaper than a 'defuzzer'!

    I've got a defuzzer my mum (sorry Santa!) bought me a few years back. Knowing my mum as I do I can guarantee it didn't come from an expensive catalogue but it's served me well. I like to do my cardigans when it's Autumn and proper raining outside because it's satisfying and wintery :)

    I also use a de-fuzzer and I also upcycle, so if they shrink they get made into something else, and if they are too far gone I make them into gloves.

    My first defuzzer lasted from 1984 until 2011 - I dropped it and it never recovered. Not bad for £2.99!
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
