I can get my cheeks to look as smooth as yours usually with a WTG and an XTG with no need of an ATG.

However, there is no way even with a Feather AC and a light touch that I can get my neck to look any better (sans red irritation) than yours does there if I look very closely at my neck. With every kind of shaving method and tool there is, including straights, I've never had a true completely stubble free appearance neck shave. Don't get me wrong, I can get a silky smooth BBS sensation on my neck if I touch my shaved neck in a WTG direction, but, nope, no true BBS. Actually I should modify this statement by saying I COULD get a true BBS on my neck, but even with a straight I'd be digging out ingrown hairs with a tweezers by the dozens if I went ATG on most of my neck to get the shave that close.

So, for me, it is what it is and I'm fine with that.
