    Of course BBS isn't needed all over, but neither is having 4 difference shaving creams, multiple brushes, razors, creams etc. I get your point, doesn't kill me but it's a goal I strive for, love the process of shaving and do it daily even though I don't need to.

    TC and I disagree about the shave we want daily. I do chase the BBS daily with a four pass shave. TC's shave makes him happy and my shave makes me happy.

    My beard on my neck grows somewhat right to left in spots on my neck and so I know what you are up against. The only thing that has worked for me is a toe up razor position that is a scything motion somewhat against the grain. Takes practice and time to develop and if you are pretty new, go slowly while developing new strokes and go forward only as your comfort level allows.

    Good luck and mostly just enjoy your shaves.

    That's what makes this so great, we do what's best for ourselves, and we have the ability to disagree and carry on.. Man I chased the BBS for over a year, had it down pat, but I really backed off of a lot of this stuff, and really enjoy my shaves as much as a guy who us spending more time in front of the mirror, my good friend Bob is a 4 pass guy too. I accept him. Lol,, I do on my Sunday shave pull out the stops before church, haven't figured out why the old women who just have to kiss me on the cheeks aren't rubbing my neck, but hey it's what I do. But I,ll go back to the original question and reiterate, time will get you there, as long as the edges are right , the prep us good for your beard, no one and I mean no one gets its from the first few shaves, heck there are guys who have done this for numerous years that don't get the neck, I just happened to find the right angle and stretch to do mine and everyone's neck us different, what works for me might not work for you.
