Has anyone done this to make it safer? My friend is always ending up
with thorns in her skin, so I wondered if I could use an electric
razor on it to help protect her.
Thanks.

Good how-to info and pics from Rolly's site: he usually hangs out in
Alt.Food.Mexican.Cooking but maybe taking the summer

We don't do cacti well up here in Western WA State so I buy them in a jar
and bonus by saving the hassle of the little no-see-em thorns. *Here is a
link if you don't have them in your
stores.http://www.mexgrocer.com/1154.html

Thanks to all who responded. However, I meant "How to take thorns off
an ornamental cactus." Thanks again.

Seriously, you could try a small torch and apply it carefully...
