I have tried using soap, shaving cream, and the wipe off cream but I still get a very itchy sensation after I shave.

When shaving your genital area with a razor blade, please be aware that you might develop folliculitis which is really an infected hair follicle but can feel like a small cyst on the skin (or even a pimple).  Some people are more prone to this condition than others, but it can be annoying and somewhat uncomfortable so I at least wanted to mention it.

Try a dry paper towel and an Iron.  Keep changing the towel as it takes up the wax.\n\nGood Luck.

well heres what i do.\ni use a soap cake in a cup and a boars hair brush\ni also use the m3 razor but that isnt neccessary and razor you can get at the store is usually fine i like a three blade but anyone you want is great.\nright after your shower while the hair is wet, wet the brush and run it on the soap cake and then apply to your beard mustache. then i start at the side burns and try and get them as straight as i can even with the crook of my ear. then you go over your beard once remember that the hair above your chin will most likly have a slightly different grain or direction than the hair below. after you go over it once run your hand over it and see how well you did. if you missed some you will feel it and you will also be able to feel the grain a lot better. lather up again and then shave against the grain or in the direction that you felt the hair the most. like you run your hand from smile to ear and it feels pretty smooth but from ear to smile it feels rough so shave ear to smile to catch the rest of it.\n\nyou can also use an electric razor they get closer but can cause some mad irritation. put baby powder on your dry face and run that electric around. i used to use one but i lost it in the move and didnt have the money to replace it i liked it better but you use what you have to.\n\nHope that helped

Yes, shaving cream, put it on the burn for about an hour, I swear it works. DO NOT USE BUTTER OR TOOTHPASTE!!!! You'll get a darn infection.

You always shave against the grain.  Use a good lather of soap, shaving cream, or better yet an oil based lotion.  You can shave the pubic area, but be ready for the itches as it grows back - a lot of people shave only the area that does not get covered by panties.  Under arm shaving is from the top down and should be done prior to the legs.  Otherwise, I cannot conceive of an area that needs shaving!

There's an excellent explanation at the website below. I've included a bit here, but be sure to check the website for more details:\n\n"People can help prevent razor bumps and barber's rash by:\n\n    * using warm water to soften the skin and hairs before shaving; shaving right after a shower.\n    * applying shaving cream, foam, or soap in the opposite direction of hair growth (usually upward), moisturizing your skin as well as hair.\n    * shaving the easier areas first: the jawline, cheeks, and neck.\n    * shaving in the direction of hair growth (usually downward).\n    * not stretching your skin taut.\n    * rinsing your razor thoroughly after each use and replacing your blades every week or more often if necessary."\n \n\nAlso, "low" quality razors are usually single blade or disposable double blades. "High" quality usually have more blades - up to five, now, which is absolutely ridiculous. For women, single blade (cheap) razors are more effective if you don't shave your legs frequently. The single blade razor doesn't collect as much hair as two (or more) blades do.

All the answers until now have mentioned the soap, shower gel, shampoo, but no one mentioned the water.\n\nhave a look to the shower head as the lime scale accumulates in it and can provoke itchiness.\n\nand the worst case scenario you also can get legionaries disease "small microbes that bread on your shower Head".

Shave after a hot shower.  Ditch the three bladed-razor and use a 2 or 1 bladed.  Shave only in the direction of the grain.  Use a high quality cream (not drug store variety).  \n\nThe thing that helped me THE MOST was buying a shave brush.  My face has never looked better, and the shaves are super close.

I also shave it all, and it found that any type of soap works well.  Make sure that it is very wet and soapy, and use a clean, sharp razor.  \nAlso, you might (hopefully) already be doing this, but only shave downwards!!!   You cannot shave against the direction that the hair is growing or you will get lots of cuts.  \nI use an antibacterial cream afterwards to prevent the little white zit-like things.  They are actually just built up bacterial, so the cream works well.  Also applying lotion will make it soft.\nGood luck

Next time put a little lemon juice on it, the itching will quickly go away and you wont have that problem ;-)

Always shave your hair in the direction the hair grows and make sure that the hair and skin is very wet when doing so. This helps keep the razor burn to a minimum or none at all. Also don't use lotions with fragrance in them, this also causes irritation and itchiness. Good luck!

sorry to get straight to the point...\n1. keep the area clean...shower with moisturizing soap. dryness could cause itching too.\n2. clean with moist paper towel after using the bathroom. \n3. remove unwanted hair\n4. apply moisturizer to keep it from dryness.\n5. avoid tight briefs or pants. \nyea..good call. ladies don't like men who scratch themselves...anywhere!!!

Try getting a anti-fog mirror for the shower and shaving after the steam has softened your skin.  Also, don't run the razor too many times in the opposite direction of your hair growth.  This is what irritates the skin the most.

try a shave gel and a better razor if you are using electric go to manual blade razor.

No matter what you do, shaving will only be good for about 12hours, then you will have about a week of itchy, spikey hair.  The best is to have the area waxed, otherwise just trim closely with scissors.\n\nRemember to exfoliate really really well to prevent ingrown hairs.

I think shaving is the easiest.  Try doing it in a hot shower after you've been in it for a few minutes.  That will soften the hair and make the skin more able to tolerate the razor.  After you're done be sure to moisturize.  I use neosporin on my skin after shaving.  It sounds strange, but it was a tip I read on the internet and it's the best thing that ever happened to my sensitive skin.
