Indeed the applicator is pleasant to use, the handling is easy and friendly look. The wax cartridge is easy to place. It is true that it takes some time for the wax is hot (25 min) but then the application is fluid and enjoyable. I do not rabacherais but it's true that the number of paper tape is a bit tight. Waxing is almost clear, apart from some hairs may remain (like any mechanical hair removal system!). No wax residue problem. The advantage: the device is reusable, which is a good point. The drawback: the cost. Given the price refills, I prefer to continue with disposable wax strips.
