Most of my neck hair is straight-up east to west. Probably the worst situation there is for SR shaving. I've had some luck lately with gillette moves, and my shaves are much better, but a BBS neck is an impossible dream. Unless I don't feel the hairs in the horizontal direction, in which case I have it nailed.
Strategies for the neck?

Interestingly, I find the Gillette slide to be natural for me when shaving my neck. My hand just likes to pull a bit to the side.
CN I ask what the gillette slide is please.
Adapting for SR, of course.
Thanks can see more cuts coming. Lol.

If you start with care, there should be no blood. I do the SR slide on my neck with every shave. It takes some practice but is not as risky as you may think.
Gave it a go and not as daunting as it seems. One small nick but whose to say I wouldn't have gotten that anyway. Thanks for your encouraging words.

I have done the Gillette slide on my neck. Will have to try the J-hook. I’ve also done buffing on my upper lip but this is the first time I’ve seen a video of it, so that really helps!
Pay a little more attention to the preshave of that particular area. Use a hot wet towel on it focally. After some lather has been applied. After your regular overall preshave bit. Makes the razor work sooooo much better. Hth
Don't forget the windshield wiper motion If you haven't tried yet. This is the only way for me to get a clean shave on the neck.
I don't know if anyone is still following this thread but my wiskers grow in the same direction on the neck from the center towards the ear and I have found using a rotation motion kind of like turning a door knob or drawing a circle. I can usually cover the area with two or three of these motions starting under the jaw and swiping down and around. I also should add that shorter razors make this easier the newer Dovo shorty I think they have three different model out now work really well for this area but it can also be done with a standard length razor.
I just realized SilverSteel mention the same thing.
