A normal script can't access LocalPlayer because it doesn't run on the client (aka you) and doesn't know who the LocalPlayer is. You can, however, get the person who touched the brick.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
function onTouch(hit)
    if hit ~= nil and hit.Parent ~= nil then
        -- Check to see if a player touched the brick
        local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then 
            -- Make sure they aren't dead and they have soap
            local hum = player.Character:findFirstChild("Humanoid") 
            local backpack = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
            local soap = backpack:findFirstChild("Soap")
            if soap and hum and hum.Health > 0 then 
                soap:Destroy()
            end
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
