"Shaving Cream" is a song written by Benny Bell in 1946, and originally sung by Paul Wynn.

[1] It is a novelty song in which each verse ends with a mind rhyme of shit, the initial sh- segueing into the refrain, "Shaving Cream".

[2] Vanguard Records reissued the song in 1975, and it became a hit, peaking at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

However, after controversy ensued, the same recording was re-released with revised labels crediting Paul Wynn as performer.

Dave Van Ronk performed this song at his shows over the years, and a version is included on the CD of rarities, The Mayor of MacDougal Street.
