betozendejas has some good thoughts on this.
my hair lays very flat on my neck, is coarse and grows in 3-4 different directions. I typically only do 1 pass on my neck: center portion is WTG, my left and right side of my neck is sort of like an XTG pass.
I think you should really forgo the "bbs" shave as for most people with facial hair like us, that's just begging for ingrowns and razor burn. if you can get by with it, I'd stick to 1-2 passes, max.
what I'd recommend trying is a very aggressive razor. I know this goes against conventional wisdom on the forums, but after 10+ years of experimenting with various types of razors, I find them to give me the best shaves with the least amount of passes possible. a very aggressive razor you might want to consider picking up that's also affordable and easily accessible is the muhle R41: https://www.amazon.com/Muehle-Safety-Raz...B0047A6WLA
