A shaving brush for applying shaving foam to a person's body includes a brush head comprised of a plurality of bristles secured at one end to a base and a hollow handle secured to the opposite side of the base. The handle can contain a foamable liquid therein. A passageway extends between the interior of the handle and the bristles through the base. A small electric motor on the outside of the handle spins an agitating blade within the handle to turn the liquid into foam which is forced through the passageway when a portion of the handle is depressed. The handle also includes as opening therein which allows liquid to be introduced into the interior of the hollow handle by the spinning blade.
