As mentioned Kevlar can be a pain to cut. You really need a good pair of Kevlar shears as Chris says, even then it can be a slow inch by inch process depending on the weight of the cloth.
With aramid cloths once cured trimmed edges are always a bit "fluffy", you cant polish it like carbon edges. You can stop the aramid layers short of any seen edges, say 10-20mm and build up the remainder with strips of cf. On something like body armour I would probably increase the thickness around the edges anyway, that way you can put a nice radius on the edges of the finished part avoiding the knife edge of a thin laminate.
