You should hear the balloons scream when I apply my crappiest bay rums. To quote the great doctor Hannibal Lecter, "Have the balloons stopped screaming Clarice?"

A quick google image search on 'shave balloon' brings up funny results. People filling ballons with water, lathering them up, holding them above someones head and proceeding to try.... with predictable results.

What a great party game!

How about shaving the fuzz off of a peach?

This was a carnival game when I was in grade school...they didn't give us straights (obviously) but if you were able to remove all the shaving cream without popping the balloon you got a prize...if you didn't, you (and all the onlookers) walked away covered in shaving cream. Good times.
