From Wikipedia:

The original version of “Shaving Cream” was issued on Benny’s record label with Phil Winston on vocals under the pseudonym Paul Wynn, and as that name was also used by Bell himself, Winston’s version has often been mistaken for Bell’s, and has appeared on Benny Bell compilation albums more frequently than Bell’s own version. “Shaving Cream” uses a technique in which each verse suggests a rhyme with a certain rude word, but drops two beats before the chorus, which replaces the word with the title. The same concept was used in “Sweet Violets” and many other songs that Benny recorded.
