Whatever happened to Derby Razor Blades?

[english_barber]

Hello,

I have been unable to contact Derby UK since April this year. I assumed it was just me but am now being contacted by other merchants who are also unable to place orders with them. I have also tried contacting Derby in Turkey, but to no avail.

Anyone know if they are still trading?

Regards, Robert

Don't know if this helps, but they are still trading on Amazon, and the products are marked "ships from and sold by derby international".

www.goodfella.co.nz has them -- how about WCS?

Derby Europe would be my first guess.

Thank you Dietmar, just what I needed.

Their Turkey website is still up:

I ordered 100 blades from them in July from eBay.

Their Turkey website is still up:

Thank you,

Although the website is still in existence, the telephone number is unobtainable and no emails are replied to.

My local supplier of Derbys hasn't had a shipment in a few weeks. Told me they would be coming soon. He did admit they have been late in getting Derbys lately.

Hope everything is OK. Derbys are great blades and I get them at a great price.

If P&G decides to kill Derby Extra production too as they did to swedes, it would be a really sad news indeed.

The Derby dealer on ebay seems to be active.

Seller name is derby_exclusive, here's his store: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Shaving-Factory__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Does P&G own Derby?

Does P&G own Derby?

Doesn't P&G own everything and everyone?

Does anyone have an update on this please?

Dear Friends,

Everything is same with derby and still producing their products under the brand of Derby.. i talked last week.

Regards.

Thank you for the update, relieved to hear this.

But I think they might need to have a serious talk with their European sales representatives then. They still haven’t shipped the order my local supplier placed 3 months ago...

No problems here...

I ordered Derbys from a company in the UK. Who knows, maybe it is my local supplier that have messed up the order. Based on tips from the kind posters here at B&B I also got some IP reds and 7 O'clock greens as well. Can't wait to try them out as Feathers is the only blade I have used so far.
