A bar soap grater body comprises a bar soap chamber positioned over a soap flake dispensing chamber. A grater plate interposed between the bar soap chamber and the soap flake dispensing chamber comprises a handle at an one end and a stop at a second end with a grater surface between the first end and the second end. The grater plate is configured so a bar of soap placed into the bar soap chamber is positioned in contact against the grater surface. Wherein the handle when pushed in and out of the grater body moves the grater plate back and forth across the bottom surface of the bar of soap to shave flakes off the bar of soap that fall into the soap flake dispensing chamber.
