My neck is precisely the same way...every pass is with, against and across the grain no matter which way I go.
I've also dealt with a fair bit of irritation on account of that. My best solution so far has been a good shave oil. There are number of great products for this sort of thing, and you can also use a good glycerin-based pre-shave cream or lotion. My personal recommendations for each:
(Note that I just link what I use, AoS and Geo both offer a few other scents in their respective products...sandalwood is just my "thing" if you will).
I use the AoS oil mostly, but I prefer the Skin Food. The problem, of course, is that the Skin Food costs as much as Unicorn Blood, so it's not exactly economical...considering that my pitch to the wife in getting her on board with my new way of shaving relied heavy on the "Save money" part of it, it's kind of hard to explain a 40 dollar bottle of skin lotion...in any case, it's a treat or a gift for me. I love it, but the oil does just as good of a job. The only difference is that with the oil, I have to use a little bit of remaining lather from the cup and rub it over my face to remove any excess oil (not a big deal, and if you don't it's not as though you will look greasy).
Soap is too dry. Find a regular face wash. Then use a pre shave oil. That should definitely help with the glide and further prevent irritation. This is something that you put on after you get out of the shower and before you shave.

EZ Blade (made with very, very moisturizing oils and alcohol free. Can even be used by itself but I prefer using this. Gently putting a hot towel over it. Leaving some product on then putting the shaving cream over and shaving. More conveniently for you, you can put a 4-5 drops in your palm, rub it around, and then run your hands over your neck and let the oil soak in. Then apply your lather) $12

If it is very bad, you may want to use a specific anti-bump product such as this one $12

Like others have already said, try shaving with a lighter hand. Razor burn happens when the hair follicle is cut below the actual surface of the skin, then digs in and causes irritation. So use a lighter hand. No need to get so close.
Hope these things help. A shaving cream with more moisturizers such as jojoba oil work very well. Jojoba oil has the smallest molecule closest to the size of our natural pores, allowing it to sink it better and actually absorb all the way.
