Lather the neck area under your chin,then open the razor out so that it is straight(or flat) -pull the skin down on your neck with your left hand just below your adams apple using your thumb and forefinger-lift your head up slightly.Place the razor blade just to the left or right hand side of your adams apple at an angle of 5/10 degrees (blade turned up) and make short upward strokes keeping the angle at 5/10 degrees.You should be able to go right up to the edge of your jawline on both sides .This should take care of all the hair under your chin.
Hope this helps

Good advice for the neck, I need to try this out.

Guys,
Be careful with all that over stretching on your cheeks and jaw line!

I know you have all seen old men with Loose saging cheeks that look like a St Benard or an old bulldog? Or it looks like they have a set of saddle bags hanging off their face.

Thats how they got it, over stretching those cheeks and jaw lines shaving.

God help you,

I have the same problem... a very skinny and angular face with a pronounced jawline and adams apple. The only thing I've found to work so far is crazy stretching.

Jsut like the chin, the contours are constantly changing. Wish I had a silver bullet for you and say my technique is perfect. But, that is something you will have to experiment with. Try different angles, positions, stretchings, etc, to figure out what works best for you...
