I do a several passes on my neck when I shave. North south, then south north. I then do a diagonal pass on either side and lastely as sort of sideways rounded pass that the blade to move from east to west and west to east while following the linds of the jaw so that I dont cut the crap out of myself with a the point. This works very well, but I never get my neck baby butt smooth like I could with a DE...although its a future goal :D
