Hi!

You can shave your neck neatly with practice. Going against the grain is the trick.
At height of my adamsapple (aa) my beard grows away from the aa on both sides upwards towards my ears. I've had the same problems you do until a few months ago. I kept at it and thought of what I could do.
So now I tilt and turn my head back to get my chin out of the way. I pull my skin downward over the collar bone to straighten it as much as possible and even pull it out a bit. I use the razor diagonally downward from my ear towards my aa, cutting only with the tip of the blade. Be careful not to dig in trying this. I don't have room to put down the whole blade either.
My neck is still not as perfect as my cheeks, but nearly.

Think about your shaving when you're away from the mirror and plan what you can improve the next day. Fiddling around and thinking of something new in the hurry of a before-work-shave won't help you much but get you cut up.

I wish you a smooth neck soon,
