Ramirez is a fan of these disposable dermaplaning tools. "These razors are specifically designed for women’s facial hair, featuring a single blade that reduces the risk of cuts and irritation," she says.

What's included: 9 single-use razors

Customer Review:

"I keep these little tools on hand because I have a very short pixie bob and it is important to keep my face, neck, and the back of my neck, smooth and free of hair and peach fuzz. Very efficient and the perfect tool for me. Love these and highly recommend." —calicocoats

Ramirez also likes these pastel-colored eyebrow razors, as "they have a precision cover for safe handling and easy maneuverability around delicate areas like the eyebrows and upper lip."

What's included: 6 disposable razors

Customer Review:

"I love using these to keep my face smooth and free of hair! They are easy to use, even for beginners, and a great price. I'd definitely recommend." —Savanna

Flamingo made its name in standard leg razors, so it only makes sense the brand has an A+ dermaplaning razor as well. Their version has a sleek grippy handle and refillable blades (refill packs are $10, btw).

What's included: 1 weighted metal handle with no-slip grip, 2 stainless steel Japanese precision blades

Customer Review:

"I am really enjoying my Flamingo! It's a game changer, it was quick and painless, getting the peach fuzz off my face and now my makeup just glides on! Thank you." —Betty B

If you have coarser hair, consider this ultra-sharp reusable razor from Billie. It has built-in micro-guards to protect against cuts, but the brand recommends using a thin layer of serum for a little bit of extra buffer.

What's included: Reusable handle and three blades

Customer Review:

"First timer and it was easy, and I can’t believe how good my face feels and how smooth it is!! Highly recommend!" —Sarah

Dermaflash's dermaplaning tool is on the pricey side, but it has the features to back it up. Not only does it have gentle vibrations to get every last wispy hair, but the design of the tool makes it practically foolproof against nicks.

What's included: LUXE Anti-Aging Dermaplaning Exfoliation Device, USB charging cable, charging base, single-use Microfine Edges, PREFLASH® Essential Skin Prep

Customer Review:

"This is such a great tool, little expensive but worth it. My skin felt very smooth and the peach fuzz was gone completely. There wasn’t any reaction, cuts or nicks." —Ruchimah

If you've trusted Venus since middle school, you can do so again with your facial hair. Their dermaplaning tool has a pen-like shape, making it ultra-easy to hold, and each blade lasts two or three shaves.

What's included: Razor and two blades

Customer Review:

"The best quality razor I have ever used at home. It worked amazing on my skin and I could see the dead skin coming off. It is a must! Why didn't I find this sooner?" —calferez

If you can't wrap your head around disposable razors, we love this steel razor from Leaf Shave that's totally plastic-free (plus, the blades are recyclable as scrap metal). The weighty steel handle gives you control as you use it, plus it comes in eight sleek colorways, including this oil-slick option.

What's included: 1 handle, 2 blades, 2 blade guards, 1 precision clip

Customer Review:

"Love love love this kit. I have been using other types of items to perform the same dermaplane process and nothing I have used so far, other than having it done by my dermatologist, has provided the same result!" —Richelle H

These effective dermaplaning tools from makeup artist Jenny Patinkin's line are more of an investment than other disposables, but that's because they're made from upcycled wheat straw and with Japanese stainless steel safety blades.

What's included: 3 disposable razors

Customer Review:

"These facial razors are great!! Very good quality razors, sharp and effective. Easy to use, hold the skin tight and gently shave hair away."

Tweezerman tools are tried and true, and their facial razor is no exception. The weighty stainless steel is easy to maneuver, and the replaceable blades last up to two months before they need replacing.

What's included: razor and 4 stainless steel blades

Customer Review:

"I love how heavy it is, blades are gentle but yet they get the job done. I have yet to use it for a long time but first few uses are incredible quality seems to last on the blades. I've used others before that after the first use they become dull, but not this one." —Vanessa

This Barbie shaves her peach fuzz. Don't let the fun pink packaging distract you, it's ultra-effective at smoothing skin, and it features a smart divot on the handle to help keep you steady. Plus, the brand also makes a facial shaving cream you can use along with it.

What's included: razor and three blades

Customer Review:

"This product is not only functional, it’s so cute and girly. It works so well in getting rid of dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and whatever else is on my face. The hot shave shaving cream is also an absolute must when using this product- 10/10 from me!" —Alex Harris

It may be tempting to just use the razor, but proper preparation and technique are necessary for sanitary and safety reasons.

1. Cleanse: "Start with a clean, dry face. It's beneficial to cleanse the skin thoroughly to remove any oils and dirt," says Ramirez.
2. Exfoliate: "Using a gentle exfoliator can also help remove dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores.
3. Shave: Hold skin taught with your non-dominant hand, and hold the razor at a 45-degree angle. Use short strokes—rather than dragging the razor—to gently remove hair.
4. Soothe: Just as important as the prep is the after-care. "Applying a hydrating toner followed by a gentle moisturizer helps to calm any irritation and lock in moisture," says the aesthetician.

Finally, Ramirez recommends avoiding products with alcohol or strong fragrances immediately after shaving, as they can cause irritation. "Additionally, combining dermaplaning with sessions of laser hair removal can enhance long-term effectiveness and reduce hair growth over time," she says.
