Yeah, I'm afraid that advice was very much form the 'do as I say not as I do' category.

Most people can't stop at one or two. And stopping at 2 is significantly harder than stopping at 1.

If you go the route I'd also try to get a vintage c-mon in excellent condition instead of the dovo made current production. It's most likely possible at the same price point but the vintage is a whole other class of razor. Much less readily available, though, because, well, they just don't make them anymore

I highly recommend two razors for a beginner. Make sure your second razor is shave ready then you can compare one razor to the other and work out if one needs honing. Otherwise you may (will) dull the edge on your razor by poor stopping and as the change will be gradual you'll find it hard to remember what a shave ready razor felt like. I also recommend getting a hone early. I really don't think you can go too far wrong with a Shapton 16k for touch ups, and later on, a Norton 4/8...
