I think that this idea is of particular use to those of us who are medium good at honing (i.e. those of us who can reliably get our razors sharp for ourselves, but have yet to have a razor evaluated by a peer as an excellent edge). The expert honemeisters don't really need the feedback that much (since their customers probably do that), and the newbie honers are just trying to get a shavable edge without dwindling the razor down to a toothpick with so much honing.

I know that I'm entering this (either as a contest or as an evaluation exercise) simply to get the feedback...I really couldn't care less where I place or if I won something - for me, the information I'll get is worth the price of admission...anything esle I get from this is strickly bonus.

Thanks for putting this together, Bart! Much appreciate!
