how short will this trim with blade directly on face? I'm looking for almost skin close for neckline, etc.

It trims very close. I use it to shave my head. It cuts very close to the skin. It looks shaved from a few feet away. I'd guess it is about 1 mm or slightly less. If you intend on shaving smooth, it is a very good prep going from longer (1/4 inch or more) to fully shaved head.

Pretty close but not skin close. Attach the foil shaver head after then you will get skin close.

I use it on my husband's neckline without the attachment. It works perfect!

the blade is fine to use without a guard cuts short but not to bald at least on my hair.the blades are sold in different grades though with some listed as Fine with a supposedly closer cut.

The face is about an inch. The hole that needs to be cut is slightly smaller, due to the lip.

I have not trimmed bangs but I have watched my partner trim his short beard. It seems the 6.5 is would be fine for this purpose.

Grant, the Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer does allow you to go as short as 1mm, but I suspect this would be too short. The Philips Norelco T980 Turbo Vacuum Trimmer has settings at 1.5mm, 2.5mm, and more. The 1.5mm is perfect for me."TheDecider" also agrees that the 1mm is too short for a good stubble look: "However as others have noted this is a beard trimmer rather than a stubble trimmer. I wish there was a setting between 1(1mm) and 2(2mm). I find the 2 setting to be a bit too long. I also would not classify anything beyond 2 as "stubble"."See the pictures from my previous post.Also, the "Stubble trimmer" does not have a vacuum to catch the loose hairs. I find this vacuum feature worth the $5.70 extra. Grant, the Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer does allow you to go as short as 1mm, but I suspect this would be too short.

I had a similar situation and ended up shaving the lip slightly with a knife as the lip requires 5/8" depth. It was easy to do and it fits fine.

This razor is a great option if you are willing to take your time with it. Don't apply pressure let the razor do the work. Other wide you will end up cutting your face to ribbons. If you have moles etc yes you will slice them off if you slide the razor over them. Go around them on your main pass then clean up the hair around problem area. I recommend going to YouTube and watch a video on how to shave with a de razor your face will thank you. Great razor you'll love it nothing but good

I would go for a smaller trimmer version, this one is more suited for clipping the body just b/c of the width of the blade. I have a giant schnauzer with huge feet and it was wider than I would like to trim his feet just b/c it was hard to get the blade head between his pads.

Kyle, I used it to trim a mustache I had. Perhaps 2/3 of an inch. Great for trimming on the lip. Hope this helps.

The trimmer itself is 0, i.e. its just like a buzzer for edging or trimming your sideburns. When you add the plastic comb it goes from .4 mm to 10mm in length. You want less than 1mm for a good "stubble" shave.

I usually run it on about 1...anything past 1.5 slices my face! However. I get a great shave one 1 with just one or two passes. Stay away from Merkur blades. I usually use Lord's or Personna Red.

It's about an inch and a quarter longer. Bulk isn't an issue since the thickness is the same as a Minimalist. You can easily use it as a neck knife. That being said, I use mine as a belt knife mounted horizontally to the ground.

It is a compact design that allows the user to get into tight spots...like behind and above your ears for hairline trimming. The cutting width is about an inch and an eighth.

It's probably closer to 2mm or even 3mm without the adjustable guard on. I went to this after using a Braun Cruzer which had a trimmer attachment which was MUCH closer. This has been my main disappointment with this product. To get a closer shave, I had to use the smaller mini-trimmer attachment which unfortunately doesn't work as well with the vacuum, so a lot more hairs were all over my sink.

It will cut very short. if you want to use it for shaving, you will spend a lot of time. The blade is not very wide. ... No batteries -- it runs on AC.

I believe it is just the angle that you hold it. It is a trimmer, so I don't think it is expected for it to be to the skin.

I usually use a guard to keep the shave from being short. I think the guards came with some cheap clippers but, yes, the blade alone is short.
