Congratulations!!

Like you, my neck grows from left side to right. I am right hand dominant,though I can use both hands. There is a patch on my neck, left side just under my jaw bone and in front of my ear lobe that is the most challenging to clear.

When I am doing my cheeks, I do a strong stretch up while opening my mouth. This pulls the skin on my neck up onto the flats of the jaw bone, making it easier to clear. Most important is that when I release the stretch the line I just cleared goes well below my jaw bone, so I don't have to navigate the angles. Then I do first pass on my neck XTG, in a downward stroke, stretching from below my whisker line and pushing my chin out. The chin is a WTG stroke, down and around. It's challenging.

The second pass is the same as far as stretching but is XTG on my cheeks and an upward stroke on my neck.. so another XTG. And it includes most of my lower chin in an ATG. On the last pass, I do XTG on my entire chin and lower lip area, with a clean up ATG on my lower lip. And to finish the neck, I do a scything stroke, so sort of diagonal, on the lower right and center of my neck, then switch hands and do a scything diagonal on the lower left side and that hay-wire challenging spot, while stretching.

Maybe confusing, but it works..
