Dad taught me to shave when I was 16 or so. At that point, one or two strokes basically did the job. Simple enough really.
As I got older my chin hair got darker and/or thicker and it got a lot more challenging. That combined with the fact that light strokes are just hard to do when I've got a bit of fuzz.
So it wasn't a matter of trusting the ads so much as the fact that they reinforce the small number of stroke mindset. Many of the ads are transparent BS, I just didn't realize the way they were BS.
