The way I think of it is that I enjoy the hobby, I enjoy honing and I enjoy solving the little puzzle that is each razors edge. Once that puzzles solved then I look forward to the next one! :)
Very well put. Thank you.

In most trades you have apprentice and master.
I am still apprentice. But apprentice at what? I will never be a Barber, I only shave one face, mine. A Barber must learn many faces, and the difficulties if each.
But I will get lots of practice, but only one a day. How many faces did a Barber see each and every day??
Since honing seems to be a 'secret art' maybe we should have 33 levels of honing. Every newbie that buys his first set of hones must stand before Lynn who has a copy of the Wiki with him and recite a secret passage. By the Fifth Level, the same initiate will stand before Lynn and his attendant will ask 'what has the master told you?'....'he has told me the rolling-x works well on some wedges.' :)
Awesome. I surrender the chair of Master of The Ridiculous to you!
Superb!
You left out "Honista" which could it in there somewhere.
Actually, I'm enjoying "honist." Kind of a journeyman level. Happy honing for myself, recently honed a bit for a couple of my students, no payment or profit just the pleasure of solving the little problems each razor presents.
Elementary Honist, White-Belt…that's me!
Just remember Lawson in some styles the professor pastmaster also wears a white sash :D
Honestly though, isn't the one who isn't learning or will not admit it who is the one who is lacking?
