I've got a crazy swirly hair pattern on my neck as well. You just have to keep trying different angles and skin stretches until you find out what works best for you. I'm still creeping up on mine and every day I get a few more hairs cut a little closer. One thing that I have done that seems to be helping me is to coat the area in preshave oil and use cold water to shave the area. That way I can see what I'm doing without the lather getting in the way. And make sure your tip is stropped well.
