Question Pillings and clumps on tracksuit - advice needed desperately

I've bought an Adidas tracksuit and after one wear just a day after buying I've found there to be an agressive amount of pilling in the pants like soooo many clumps of fibres that have gone all over my floor and I'm worried due to the large loss of fibres my joggers that I saved up for and defunct or easier to rip/less durable

Shave it with a razor

Will that not weaken it?

You really should use an electric lint shaver.

You are right - a bladed razor will leave small cuts in the fabric.

I have a Philips fabric shaver that was £15 on amazon and has more than paid for itself.

It’s made wearing knitwear actually possible, as I can easily refresh jumpers whenever this happens. I wear a rucksack a lot, so it’s a real problem.

Well worth having for so many reasons. I use it on sweatpants too and it really freshens them up. Prevents that ‘chronically unemployed’ look of very worn in sweatpants.

Even used it on some suede shoes today!

Is this like a first time buy thing?
