How do I shave felt?

Very silly question here.....but what's the best way for one to shave a felted item?

I want to knit a dark bag, but the only yarn I have available is Burkshire and when it felt is very hairy. We are talking 1/2"+ here...

How can I shave this off?

TIA!!

I use a disposable razor. It does the trick

And be sure there is something firm on the inside of the bag so you can get nice and close.

And some bags need regular attention with a razor until all the looser fibers that are going to pill and fuxx have done so. My Kureyon bags -- yeesh, it seemed like I shaved them weekly for a month or so until they settled down.
