Thread: Are there any lady Honemeisters?

So I was thinking about honemeisters and I think they're all men. It would make sense if all the honemeisteres were men, since men are usually the ones who use a straight. However, all of you women here use straights so...its possible. Right?

Thoughts? Or anyone know a female honemeister? I think that would be pretty cool. I'd send her a razor to get honed.

I know that CarrieM can hone; I've even seen her hone. But I don't think I've ever shaved with a razor she's honed.

Silver has a Narutaki (spelling?) hone but is a bit busy at the moment to develop her skills....

Hello!
I'm still working on the "Meister" but I'm honing knives for almost thirty years
and started honing razors last year finally.
Works even better with the back of the razors to set the ankle
than it does with all sorts of other knives, stitchblades, axes etc

Right now I have quite a little hone collection.
Some of them are made for me by my brother, cause he works in the industry
- and is a source of wisdom -
but other than that I like the natural stones.

My latest little beauty is an old Escher, which is cracked and very thin but I'm very proud of nevertheless.
And I'm a great friend of the translucent white Arkansas as a finisher.

Its a little more difficult to get a straight right for the guys if you have no beard to test it on
but I never had complaints so far.

Well, its all hands and eyes that you need,
so I hope more ladies will get into it.
