Well, due to the overwhelming response, I chose to update the map with the pic of the WMTR on the top of Memorial Gate. Also, Whitebar's location has been made precise if you would care to look.

Thanks Paul, you're doing great work on the map!

Yes you are Paul. I'm a little behind, but I'm going to get you the location of the Sod House in the very near future. Sorry it's taking me so long.
Lucius, that shot of the razor at the gate to Arlington is an impressive photo.
Gogo, I was going to say just the opposite. JD is OK by me. That Puma/Ellis combo is about as close to shaving perfection as I can imagine. We're looking forward to more from Tennessee, when you've had the time to do a little travelling of your own.

. . . He went around back and into the basement because he was hungry. He ate cold beans out of a can and drank some water, and then he saw the small mirror Parker had bought with the razor and the can of lather. He looked at himself and knew he had to take a chance on staying long enough to shave. He shaved, and that made him feel better. . .
I feel that this is going to be a good week. The "World's Most Photographed Razor"is currently in Nashville, getting ready to go on another short journey to another far-away place with some more interesting folks and sites to visit.

I got a chance to take our little friend on a site-seeing tour of Music City. She had a great time. First up is the world famous Broadway where some of the greatest country musicians cut their teeth.
The first one shows some of the most popular spots: Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Robert's Western World and the Stage among others.
This is on the other side of the street with the Ernest Tubb Record Store.
Here's a decorative guitar on the corner of Broadway and 5th Avenue. The WMTR is ironically next to Willie Nelson's face, not much of a shaver, but a legend all the same!
What trip to Nashville would be complete without a visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame?
Lastly, I dropped by my school, Montgomery Bell Academy, where I've taught and coached for the past 8 years. MBA has a 142 year tradition of strong academics and athletics. Below is a statue commemorating the film, "Dead Poet's Society" authored by an MBA alumnus. Robin Williams's character is based off of a former MBA teacher.
I'm so grateful for my time with the razor. It was a real treat. I hope you've enjoyed my turn as much as I've enjoyed everyone else's. This afternoon I sent it to Connecticut for the next leg!
A tropical theme for my shave today:
Shavemac 44140
Superlather of MWF and Trumper's Coconut Cream
WMTR
Thayer's Superhazel
Royall Bay Rhum
Hydrolast Peppermint ASB
For the last several years I've been a member of the US National Boomerang Team. I know, you've never heard of it! Anyways I have some of my favorite competition 'rangs in the picture too. I thought it was the right thing to do.

I told you it lived up to the hype! Which of the pictures do you want for the map?
Nice boomerangs!

OK, according to the USPS website, the razor has landed at my place. Good thing, as I purposefully got a less than stellar shave this morning in case I got to use this beauty tomorrow.
I'm still extremely busy at work, so might not be able to get quite the full walking tour of our historic spots that I had hoped to during the week, but should be able to get out to get a few pics before she goes back in the mail.
I'm mildly embarrassed to say how excited I am right now.
Gogo, after seeing your photos, I really want to visit Nashville as a tourist with some time to spend taking it all in. Thanks!
