Default Anyone Ever Shave Carpet with Hair Trimmers?

Curious to see if anyone has used hair trimmers to clean up the ends of their car's interior carpet. My cut pile is looking more like 70s ****.

Instead of shaving the pile to "de-clump" it try getting it really clean including getting all the soap residue out. Then give it a gentle brushing with a very fine bristled brush that you would use to brush a cat or dogs fur. This has produced good results for me as long as I go GENTLE with the brushing.

Shaving the carpet??? There has to be a joke in there.

I was going to say "70s porno" instead of "70s ****"

What if you gave it the Nair treatment, instead of the trimmed approach?

No biggie if the carpet doesn't match the drapes. A close shave is always welcome.

It's a comfort to know that I'm surrounded by others just as juvenile as myself.
I guess I picked the right car, I doubt there's as many pubic hair threads in the panamera room.
