I struggle with my neck as well my adams apple is a huge issue it hangs out there loud and proud and DE or straight the lower part of my neck is never as close as the rest I have just learned to live with that. I too get weepers and irritation from ATG. I go WTG and XTG and call that a day I have not tried too many different blades as even cheaper blades work well for everything else. BEst of luck
