Well, the good news is that the kit seems to work. I tried it on my arm as a test site. Perhaps I was a little too aggressive - the hair is gone but I am left with some redness not unlike sunburn. It doesn't hurt but it is not exactly pretty and I'm hoping it fades before I go back to work. I've been treating it with propolis gel and aloe vera and it has pretty much faded away within about 12 hours. But still.
Fortunately, I took a more gentle approach when trying it on the chin and am pleased to report that there are no noticeable side effects other than a pleasantly smooth and hairless skin.
Is it better than the tweezers? It probably is.
Will I use it again? I probably will.
Would I buy another kit? I might.
Do I have any lingering concerns? Yes, I wonder how the hair will grow back.
Still, for the sake of a couple of euros, it was definitely worth it. I'm glad I gave it a try.

Well ladies, I said I'd report back to let you know how the hair grew back. The answer is, much the same as usual - and at much the same rate too. But I should add that a couple of days after the close shave outlined above, I was showing some evidence of harsh treatment on both arms and chin. I guess it's to be expected if you apply what seems close enough to sandpaper. It's odd that it wasn't immediately apparent. On the chin line, I could feel the roughness although I didn't have noticable redness - at least nothing that my Bare Escentuals couldn't handle. Still - all in all - maybe I'm not going to rush back to the kit. I binned it this afternoon.
I use Jolen bleach along my upper lip, so far, so good!
