Thread: Honemeister accredidation?

I don't know if this would help, hurt or not change anything, but I've often thought: "What if SRP had an accredidtation program of some kind for honing? Bladesmiths do.

My current skills would NOT yield an accredidation. But, having something in place would be cool not only for those that are already there, but also for those that are working towards becoming proficient with effectively honing all types of razors.

How would it work? Not sure, but maybe Honemeisters or aspiring Honemeisters would send some razors out to an independent panel of a handful of proficient shavers (maybe a burgeoning shaver as well to get a range) to have them rate the honing on a set and agreed upon scale with various criteria?

I know this has been done unofficially by members sending razors to other members for eval, but again for someone that is aspiring to get to a certain level, I think this has some goal oriented appeal.

Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea. It would certainly take some fleshing out to implement something like this.

Just a thought among all other razor related thoughts that make up 95.68% of my brain's cognitive functioning.
