That's exactly my problem and I thought the same thing, but it's not so. The reason the grain runs sideways on my neck is because it transitions from down on my cheeks to up on my lower neck. I do a forward sweep along my jaw, then I stretch the skin up from the neck and can go forward along the jaw some more. That gets a good distance under the jaw, which is the hardest part. Then I stretch up from the jawline and gently shave straight down my neck (that's against the grain). I find that if I drift a little forwad it even gets the parts near the adams apple. It leaves a little stubble, but hen I clean up with a Featherjector, which goes forward easily under the jaw and down and forward on the neck. It keeps my neck stubble free all through the working day.
