I shave ATG for my cheeks, sideburns, jaw, chin and 'tash, but am unable to do so on my neck. This is partly comfort (with any kind of wet shave), and partly due to not being able to get a good angle now I'm using the straight exclusively.
It does annoy me slightly that I can never get my neck as smooth as the rest, but it's better than looking like I've got a red scarf on!
Your skin will 'toughen' however, so keep experimenting to find what works best for you :)
