Might be two passes is plenty for a couple more weeks; for some folks it's enough for a lifetime. Let the perfect shave wait out there for a while - allow time to let your skin get used to the blade and try easing into a lighter-handed technique. How is your stropping? It took me a couple of weeks to notice 40-60 light passes made a huge difference in shave quality; it also helps me to strop again before a third and final pass.
Rinse well (cold water), pat dry with a clean towel, a little witch hazel and then after-shave balm? This is working for me as a novice but, since I AM a novice, take my advice with caution.
