I remember seeing a TV Show or movie where a male asks a barber for a shave. The barber (I don't remember if male or female) applies shaving cream to an inflated balloon to demonstrate their steady hand with a straight razor, but the balloon pops. The barber chuckles a bit and produces another balloon, and the second time is able to successfully "shave" the balloon. The customer is satisfied with the demonstration and still wants the barber to shave him.
I thought this was from Gran Torino but I recently watched it and there was no balloon in the barber shaving scene.
