This invention relates to tonsorial appliances, and more particularly to a cevice for holding a stick of shaving soap which may be readily removed for application to the face and-having means contained within said device for rubbing the applied soap into. a lather.

The object is to provide such a holder or container which will keep a stick of soap in. a sanitary, condition, said holder havinga removable cap formed to be readily I grasped by the hand and carrying a lathering device which, when the cap is secured in position upon the holder, is housed within the latter and is ready for instant use when removed therefrom. Y

The features thus far described form no part of my invention, and I do not wish to be restricted thereto.
