i use a normal razor blade to shave and every single time, without fail, i get a shaving rash, no matter how gentle i am and even use after shave balm from nivea.
do these trim 'beards' as in stubble, not so that it's fully gone baby face style, but just so it leaves a bit of stubble there meaning i don't get the god damn shaving rash?
never used one before so have no idea

also, do i use shaving foam with it or just use water and trim?

they look a bit scary tbh 
the hairdresser i go to uses these things to trim my sideburns and around my hairline, don't know if they're any good for facial hair though 
and won't those 3 circled things cause rashes still?

Its what you posted.
Get it, it leaves stubble, loads of different lengths too. 0.5 is stubble, 1.0 is a havnt shaved for a week look, 14 is to trim bin laden's beard.

That's what I use. Just skim off every few days, I had the same problem as you with shaving rashes, not any more.
