I usually use my folding plastic handled seam ripper. This is great as when I have to do much frogging I am usually in the living room and I can put it in my pocket when I have to answer the phone, finish cooking, or tend to whatever distraction occurs.
I bought extra and gave them away to friends who go to sew-ins a lot.

The last time I went to buy they no longer carried them so a LQS ordered them in for me. Growing up and my early years of sewing we used a single edge razor blade to rip stitches out!
I got my first one at a quilt show and then found them online at Manhatton Wardrobe Supply:

After a number of years of use my first one broke in that the mechanism that holds the ripper from sliding out on its own broke. It still rips fine and I still use it but I bought several more to have on hand so shouldn't be ordering again for years.
