I shave my pubic region, but it's not as smooth as I would like. If I shave against the grain, I get razor burn. What could I do to reduce irritation?

Exfoliate the skin first and use a really thick moisturizing conditioner. I find that shaving creams are way too dry, even the expensive fancy ones that are for sensitive skin and say they don't dry your skin out.

Well, as the self-proclaimed queen of lady-scaping, allow me to help.
Try and allow your pubic region to soak in warm water for a few minutes. This will soften and loosen the hairs. Make sure the cream you use is the thick, gel kind, not the aerosal-whipped cream kind. This will coat the hairs and protect you from nick-age better. And, of course, a good, fresh, multi-blade razor! First, shave with the grain, slowly, rinsing off the razor between scrapes. THEN, you go against the grain, in the same way. Afterwards, pat completely dry, or even with a hair-dryer on cool (it feels great, too, hehe), and apply an aloe cream or soothing-salve low in alcohol, fragrance, or dye so that it does not sting.
And keep up with it, cause it WILL ITCH!
This should keep you safe of all nicks, cuts, bumps, and scratches :)

I say the brazilian is the way to go. But since you are shaving the first thing is a new sharp razor. Make sure you use warm-hot water to soften the hair and make sure that it is cut low prior to shaving.
Shave in the direction of the hair growth then in the opposite direction. Lather up with a good moisturizing shaving foam. Change razors if it isn't cutting well.
When finished, get yourself a good aloe moisturizer or light baby lotion. Keep moisturized in that area. I've even tried this product called coochie cream that actually is made well for that area. I know the name is weird, but it is soothing and works well.

Make sure that the hair is very wet and washed with shampoo first.
Use lots of soap when shaving and hot water with the razor. Shave with the hair first before shaving against it, make sure the razor is sharp.
I know that some women rub a natural oil into the region after to stop the burn, seriously extra virgin olive oil is a good one.
and to do the 'man' thing.....let me know if you need help.....

Try shaving first in the direction of the hair growth. After that, shave against the grain, using a moisturizer. It works pretty well.

i think the key is having good shaver! i use gilette mack 3... and i have no probs the other key is having a good delicate latering soap. also mosturize once in a while but if you have a good body wash you don't have to do that too often. make sure you don't wait too long between shavings too that causes irrritation, but dobn't overdo it either. you know your body best though

Might want to try some Veet or Nair. Since it gets rid of the base, there's no stubble.
