One person reads this. It’s me.
No ticket number, no support desk, no chatbot wearing my name. You write, I read it, and you get an answer back within a working day — usually the same evening, unless I’m standing in someone’s workshop with no signal.
Write to me
Four boxes. It takes about a minute.
Or reach me directly
Within one working day, usually the same evening. If two days pass, assume it got lost and send it again — you won’t be bothering me.
A studio in Tel Aviv, Sunday to Thursday. Everything is packed by hand, which is why there is no warehouse and no automated dispatch email.
If you think something deserves testing, say so. I keep the list on paper and I buy off it — two of the sixteen started as somebody else’s email.
The practical part
Four things that don’t change
Free shipping over $80
Under that it’s $6 flat. Anywhere abroad, a flat $18.
30 days to send it back
Opened is fine. If it didn’t work on you, that’s useful to me.
Nothing here is sponsored
Every item was bought at full price. No brand has ever paid to be on this page.
An answer within a day
From me, not from a queue. Most notes get answered the same evening.
Shipping, returns & the rest
The questions I get most weeks
Sunday to Thursday, packed by me, usually the same afternoon if the order lands before two. Over $80 ships free; under that it is $6 flat. The tracking number goes out the moment the parcel leaves my hands, not two days later when a system catches up.
Thirty days from the day it arrives, opened or not. Write to me first and I’ll send a return label — free locally, split with you if it’s going abroad. Skincare included: if a serum broke you out, I want to hear about it far more than I want to keep your money. Tell me why, and it changes what I test next.
Because a shop with four hundred products isn’t a recommendation, it’s a search problem you have to solve yourself. I try around three hundred things a season and keep the ones that beat what I already owned. Sixteen is what survives that. When something better turns up, the old one comes off the page — the number stays where it is.
No, and there is no version of this where that changes. I buy everything at full price, there are no affiliate links, and no brand sees the page before you do. Several have asked. That refusal is the only reason I get to be rude about things in the notes.
Usually, but slowly — these are small makers with small runs. The fine chain is out until late next month, and the stacking rings are made to order in about three weeks. Send me the Kept number and I’ll give you the real date rather than a “coming soon” badge that means nothing.
Yes, everywhere, from Tel Aviv. It’s a flat $18, fully tracked, roughly a week to Europe and closer to two to the States. Duty and customs are yours to pay, which I would much rather say here than have a courier surprise you with at the door.
It happens two or three times a year. The item comes off the page, its note gets rewritten to say what replaced it and why, and the monthly email explains the swap. Nothing disappears quietly. If you bought the old one it’s still a good thing — I just found a better one, and pretending otherwise would make the whole list useless.
Not yet — this is a demo. The bag adds up, the form checks your answers, and then nothing happens: no payment is taken, nothing ships, and no note actually reaches an inbox. The prices, the notes and the way I’d answer you are all real enough.
Nothing to ask? Go and look instead.
The whole shop is one page long. Sixteen things, each with the reason it stayed and the thing it pushed out.
