When using the handle, does the "shaving head" touch your back and shoulders, or only the outer "trimmer" cutters on edge of cutting head?

Not sure I understand the question. You mean like a groomer comes with beard/hair length attachment? No. The trimmer flips up and what you hold it to, it cuts. When trimmers on shavers first appeared, they were shown in the commercials just putting a crisp edge to the bottom of sideburns, that's it. (Regular sideburns, not Star Trek style.) But this will do more. It's fine for edging a beard. The trimmer blade is wider than some groomer blades I've seen. The rotary head will handle a few days' stubble (for me at least), but if you've gone a week or two without shaving, the trimmer will also cut your beard down to a more shave-able level.

It won't cut as close as a good shaver, but it cuts closer than any trimmer that I've ever owned. Note that it will take more passes to trim your entire head since the cutting area is only 1-1/8" wide, and will not follow the contours of your head since it will not flex (as will a shaver). I don't shave my head, but it does a great job around sideburns and around the neckline. I would buy this trimmer again for my uses.

The clipper head is angled to the handle and clipper mechanism, not straight across as you hold the handle and clipper mechanism.

I think that the pivoting heads help, but you can get just as close of a shave with either. It's just that your hand would do more of the pivoting.

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.

No, this is intended to remove hair from the roots. But, if you use it in the opposite way (instead of using it as indicated, you turn it over and move it against the hair but with the back side) it does cut your hair. Yet it is not intended to do this (it is merely a hack) so if you want to trim you hair, I'd suggest you get a trimmer; specially if the trimming is for hair face.

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

Nope! When you take the head of to clean it will because it's full of shavings but otherwise it's tight, secure, neat and gives the best shave I've ever had from an electric razor; almost as close as a four-way shave with a safety razor. I'm not kidding. Baby smooth using Williams Lectric shave and a Remington shave stick. I had to switch do to starting blood thinners and I've no regrets.

I don't use the guard hardly ever. I used it to trim when my hair was long, and then I took the guard off and was just careful. But you place the guard (or the razor directly, if you're not using the guard), right flat over your skin. I move up (against).

Yes there is a trimmer on the back. You slide the trimmer up to expose the cutting head. Mine came in a sealed box

The shaving head can be turned sideways to get into the questionable area. The shaving area goes right up to the end of the shaving head. Never owned a Braun before, just Norelco. Just thought I'd try something new/different. Hope this helps.

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

The handle is somewhat short but I have found that the shorter handle helps give me more control while shaving. Even though the handle is smooth I have not had any trouble gripping the razor while wet. I love the Edwin Jagger razors.

Yes, I have had excellent results with the sensitive comb attachment, no nicks or cuts no matter where I shave. :) I would recommend taking the razor off of it while using the trimmer on sensitive parts, since the razor and trimmer are so close on the device.

The entire handle unscrews where it meets the head. Very happy with this razor, btw.

My girlfriend has borrowed my razor several times before (just make sure to switch blades, I've been told once a blade is used for body hair it will cut up the face) and we both noticed that she had much softer skin and a much closer shave. She did say it was harder to use than a normal razor, but she really liked how it didn't damage her skin at all.
