Your idea is gracious and would help a bunch of people. What I can see happening is that the hon would not make it way back to you for a long time, possibly 1 year? If you allow 1 week for mailing and one week use for each person the for 26 people it would take 52 weeks to make that circuit. Are you willing to go without a hone for that length of time?
Just this past 3 days I have been using my Japanese natural hones. One of the most interesting is also very inexpensive. The Aoto. It is rated, by one website anyway, at 2000-3000 grit. The cost is approx $65 for a very large stone would could be cut in half and still have a large size. I used this stone after 1000 grit sandpaper and before the Norton 4K. It does a very good job of setting up the bevel for the 4K. But, I have only used it on 2 razors so far.
One of the other stones is made for gouges and I used the back side of that stone. It worked well and is not to expensive. It could be cut in half, lengthwise, for a narrow hone.

What I am suggesting is starting with some inexpensive but very useful stones. All of us need good stones to remove minor nicks and to set the bevel. These would be a good starting point.
Just my two cents,
