Yes — the neck is a job beard trimmers are built for, with a guard comb holding the blade off the skin. Makers publish guard systems and rounded blade tips for exactly this, and the guard is the part doing the work.
What is published: Philips describes self-sharpening blades with rounded tips on several ranges, and a hypoallergenic foil on both its body groomers. Braun describes SkinGuard on the BG3530, the BG5555 and the AIO7565 kit. The Philips OneBlade at $95 ships a skin guard as a separate click-on part. All of those are manufacturer descriptions of geometry, quoted as such.
Where the neck is concerned, the single most useful specification is a different one: the edge. Where a beard neckline should sit is two fingers above the Adam’s apple, and that line is cut with the guards OFF — which is the one pass on the neck where nothing is between the blade and the skin.
What this page will not do is tell you what your skin will tolerate. That is not a review site’s question, and nothing on this site is a substitute for the instructions that came with the tool.
Two practical points that are about the tool rather than the person. A comb between blade and skin is what most guard systems are; removing it removes the protection. And a blade with hair packed behind it does not sit flat, which is a mechanical problem before it is anything else.
The manual for your unit states where each attachment may be used.
