There are many factors that will determine how quickly you will succeed at SR shaving; the user's manual dexterity and using a shave ready blade would be at the top of the list. To tell a new person it will take 100 tries to get good results from something is not only disheartening but dishonest as well. I can only speak from personal experience, but it only took me a fraction of that number to get serviceable shaves, and still far less than 100 to reach BBS level.
So again, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pay no attention to that number, or any other number for that matter, and simply concentrate on getting a good shave. You will get there in due time.
Have fun,
