If you have sensitive skin, shave with the grain. It isn't as close of a shave (I'm ALWAYS a little scratchy) but it will help immensely with irritations. The neck can be difficult though because the grain changes.
I got a shave at the Art of Shaving once and they shaved me twice - first with the grain, then against. It was a close shave and didn't irritate. I tried it at home, and it didn't work as well...
