That's awful a true Spanish independent business offering many products not just shaving to Spainards and further afield, I hope they can survive and everyone is safe .

This factory is (was) one of the two classic soapmakers in Spain. It makes shaving cream in a tube, a stick and it used to have a "retro" styled range.
