Can you help me get a BBS shave in my neck?

[Utopian]

Like other parts of your face, you can pull the skin of your neck quite a bit both to tighten it and to reposition it for a better angle or approach. For example, I never shave over my adam's apple, instead I pull the skin to the side and then shave that skin.

For me on the ATG pass, while stretching the skin, I first decrease the angle of the blade to where the spine is or is almost touching my neck. When I feel as if I got all that I can at that angle I will dampen my fingers and re-wet the area (no lather but you can if you like) and go back over with a slightly steeper angle to get it super close with no irritation. Doing that very very low angle at first on the ATG keeps me from getting nicks or weepers along with a BBS shave on my neck every time.

There really is no need to rush into ATG. I have been shaving for 50 years, have a fairly heavy beard, and have never shaved ATG with any type of razor. I'd suggest as others have that you use scything or windshield wiper type strokes there from different angles, which should, with a shave ready razor from SRD give you a fine shave. Having said that, most of us don't do as well on our necks as we do on our cheeks. I settle for DFS most days, which is fine for me.

Your prep and razor are probably good if you are doing well with the rest of your face.
+1 to the excellent technique advise already offered.
You might try a little extra lubrication before the ATG - like a bit of Proraso pre-shave or some Creamo.

Have you ever considered using Noxzema Cleaning Cream in your pre-shave routine. It really helps with eliminating the irritation if your shaving XTG. A good YouTube video is The Three Pass Shave by DRMATT357

One thing that helped me in the very beginning after watching Lynn's video was remembering the part where he was stretching the skin of his neck near the adams apple. Might be worth a look.

Necks are tough and tender and well dangerous areas to play in. My neck hair grows in all directions. I was not able to get all the stubble until I used better stretching I found in videos, started opening my mouth, and using both hands to shave. I could never get the right side until I used my left hand to hold the razor.
