I have the same problem and this is what I do:

After doing N-S on the first pass and S-N on the second pass, then I spend some extra time on that area doing NE-SW on my left side and NW-SE on the right side, pulling to skin towards the ears.
The first time I'll do it with lather, and after that with only water.
For this I hold the blade straight with my strong hand.
I get better results with a 5/8" blade than with a 6/8" for obvious reasons

Note: some days it comes out better than others, depending on blade sharpness (I rotate blades on a daily basis, so I get different results)

Let me know if you try this method and how it works for you.

Good luck
