Never could do ATG on neck before. But I'm finding if I do very very light strokes, I can now get close to a true BBS on the neck even. For me, the trick is to get to the point where I hear the cutting but don't really feel it. And also to only do ATG touchups after WTG and light XTG.
shaving aginst the grain.

I can go ATG on my cheeks, chin, and soul patch area, but my upper lip doesn't handle it well. My hair grows horizontally on my neck and I can't get the angle right so I stick to 1 or 2 N-S passes and leave it at that.
I tried ATG in my neck this morning and it left an irritation. Won't do that again.
Not everyone can go ATG. Be sure to map your beard so that you know exactly how the grain runs in every area.
I can go against the grain on my neck with an R41 or an Injector, but nothing else.
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me but it is the reality.

I can generally do ATG on my neck successfully with an adjustable set to the lowest setting and a light touch.

Good luck on your journey!
I always perform an ATG because I want that BBS on my face 
Luckily I never get burns etc.
Luckily I never get burns etc.I do think for some people it's easier to get irritation free on the neck and face. I almost never shaved ATG but lately my technique seems to have gotten better so I got consistent irritation free shaves ATG.
Then today I wanted to go back to 1 WTG pass, fked myself up(not really just some irritation I didn't expect). So moral of the story if you keep practicing a certain shave method eventually you get the muscle memory, and your skin gets used to it, etc.
Also I would consciously focus on using even less pressure on neck area. It has helped me a lot.

With more aggressive razors, I can get away with WTG and ATG, XTG is unnecessary for in that case. More mild razors, I need to do a complete 3 passer. Both of these shaves are comparable in terms of comfort for me.

So i changed my angel (very steep like 80) and super super light tuck and vuala no burn and super smooth and comfie.
Also can't do ATG on the neck, WTG/ and slightly XTG works pretty well for me.
When I was 16 Dad told me how to shave: two passes WTG, one or two ATG. Fortunately no problems at all.
I can go against the grain but I pay for it over the next couple days. For me its not worth it right now to go ATG. Plus I have to shave everyday for work so 1 pass WTG, and 3 passes XTG is just right for me.
