Help! East/West neck hair
My facial hair has a life of it's own. Only the sideburn area grows north->south; everything else meanders like a compass teased by a refrigerator magnet. My right cheek is NW -> SE, my left cheek is half NW->SE and then at the jawline becomes straight west->east. I sport a goatee (always have, long before picking up straight shaving in April) so it's neigh impossible to get an ATG pass on my neck, or rather, I don't know how to approach it. I can't seem to keep in contact with the skin at a low enough angle to avoid nicks, while avoiding the adam's apple and the depressions around it.
Any suggestions? I'm generally using a 6/8 wade and butcher or heljestrand but I also have a (somewhat unforgiving but wonderful in the tight areas) dubl duck that looks like it's 5/8 or possibly 4/8. A lot thinner.
