I have a coarse beard and my neck hairs grow in all manner of directions. I also have fairly sensitive skin. After 3 passes my face will be smooth, but there will always be spots to touch up on my neck and just below my jawline. If I want to get it really smooth it will inevitably lead to some irritation.
I'm using a Parker adjustable usually set at 3-4 on my face and 2-2.5 on my neck. I've tried most of the popular brands of blades with fairly similar results, sharper coated blades seem to work best for me and my sensitive skin. I always rinse with cold water.
So is your neck smooth after a couple passes? Do you shave across the grain on your neck? I see videos of guys taking off 4-5 days of growth in 2 passes and saying it's smooth. I have a hard time believing that but it's their beard, not mine.
