    I fail to understand what you mean?
    Are you planning on buying 100 hones?

    Are you asking if it is a good idea to hone 100 razors? I still don't get it.

    If you are learning to hone, I would suggest you do it on your own razors.

    Jason i don't think so you can do so. I think it was some issues with 100 free honing . Try send private messages to the moderators before offering free honing .

    Your question was whether we would perceive if, that after honing a hundred razors, you would be a step closer to being a 'true honer' wasn't it?

    I don't think so. You would probably be a step closer if you learned (and I'm not presuming that you are a learner, just using this for example) if after honing one satisfactorily you could repeat that step, then face the next challenge.

    I must have painted a hundred walls - I'm still no closer to being a Leonardo da Vinci, though!

    I can hit 100 golf balls, and I'm pretty sure that I'm just about as likely on shot #100 to shank that sucka into the woods!

    Assuming you are employing proper technique learned from an advanced member one on one and/or from reading, videos and the like..... the old adage "practice makes perfect" is applicable IME.

    BTW, nothing wrong with buying 100 razors IMO and 200 is even better. YMMV. Just don't buy 'em all at once.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
