John, I think I speak for everyone at SRP when I say that if you start straight razor shaving, you'll need a LOT more than one razor.
I don't know much about the 1mm hone wear, but if you think it's a good deal, get it. I bought my first razor (Genco 5/8) on here three weeks ago, and I'm already looking at another. I think you should be fine with the 1mm hone wear, provided your Razor Acquisition Disorder (RAD) kicks in, which it most likely will.
I'd still wait to hear from a seasoned pro before going all the way through with it; but I think you'll probably get another razor after your first, as one is NEVER enough, and you'll be fine then.
