My 20yr old son loves old things 1900’s WW1 and WWll. I was helped to find a 1920’s straight razor and was allowed to purchase it over the phone for a Christmas gift. The store is full of old world charm

I am a customer of simply the best for the last 25 years! Jim, the owner of the store has served the community of Victoria with integrity, quality of care, and quality products for almost 50 years. Simply put his selection of products are not only worthy of his customers hard earned money but also provides his customers with a unique experience in treasuring quality product, quality care, and customer satisfaction. Through his hard work ethic and passion for providing quality product and care; Jim, for the last many years has gained a great reputation amongst his customer and a unique status; namely, Jim became a stand of measure for what it means to be a stand-up guy; gaining the trust, love and respect of his customers; simply put, Jim has become a reference and a standard of measure in keeping quality and service as a common dynamiter in doing business and creating longevity.I hope that our community stands tall with Jimi (simply the best) in helping his business to continue maintaining a unique footprint in our community through these challenging times!

I've shopped in this store many times over the last 20 or so years. Always an interesting and eclectic selection of products - many times there is nowhere else in the city or area. Today I was looking for a compact travel-ready beard brush in genuine boar's hair. Sure enough they had one that I was happy to buy, in addition to an assortment of beard grooming accessories. I have to give them 5 stars for that.

I would also give zero stars if I could. Terrible customer service, both over the phone and in person. I really needed a pen engraved and for whatever reason, this seems like the only place in or near downtown Victoria that has general engraving services. He’s basically the only game in town, knows it and acted like it when I balked first at the price (39$ for five characters), then later at the fact that I wouldn’t get a receipt while my pen was sent away (that’s right, he doesn’t even do the engraving himself). “It’s either that or you can go elsewhere...”, both of us knowing that “elsewhere” didn’t exist.This shop might have good merchandise, but I couldn’t tell through the thick cloud of arrogance and general unpleasantness exuded by the clerk/owner (?).
