Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Pro+

Design and First Impression

The device itself is compact, about the size of an electric razor, and it comes with diamond exfoliation tips instead of a plain blade head. There's also a built-in LED light on the tip, which actually matters here because it lets you see the fine hairs and texture you're removing, especially around the jawline where bathroom mirror lighting is usually bad. It feels more like a skincare tool than a razor, which is the whole point.

The Dermaplaning Experience

You get three customizable speeds, so you can start low around sensitive areas like your upper lip and dial it up for tougher patches like your jawline. Say you're prepping your skin the night before a big event: you cleanse, dry your face, then glide the tip over your cheeks and chin in short strokes. The diamond tips exfoliate while they remove hair, so you walk away with skin that looks brighter, not just hair-free. Michael Todd Beauty also includes a 16-week supply of single-use blades in the box, so you're not scrambling to find replacements the week after you unbox it.

Rechargeable, Portable, and Doubles as a Trimmer

This isn't a device you plug into the wall every time you use it. It runs on a rechargeable battery, giving you up to three hours of cord-free use after an initial 12-hour charge, and it's small enough to toss in a carry-on. Say you're heading out on a trip and forgot to prep your skin at home: this fits right in your toiletry bag. The set also includes an eyebrow trimmer that runs on its own included AAA battery, so you can clean up stray brow hairs in the same routine without pulling out a separate tool.

Pros and Cons

On the plus side, the diamond tips and LED light make this feel more precise than a standard dermaplaning razor, the three speeds give you real control, and the 16-week blade supply is a nice head start. It's backed by a three-year limited warranty too, which says something about how confident the brand is. On the downside, at 4.2 stars from over 2,100 reviews, it's solid but not flawless, so don't expect a perfect experience straight out of the box. And like any dermaplaning tool, there's a small learning curve the first few times you use it.
