I'm getting tired of trimming my pubic hair and I want to know what are the cons of shaving down there.

It's not dangerous. Just keep in mind a few things...
1. Use a good sharp razor, ideally a new one every time.
2. Go slowly over wet skin to avoid razor burn.
3. Try to avoid going against the hair the first few times. It will lead to less irritation. Ideally you'll want to go with the hair as much as possible so you'll lessen your chance of ingrown hairs
4. Try a shave cream or gel for sensitive skin.
5. If you do get an ingrown hair, try soaking in a hot bathe and exfoliating well to release it but don't pick at it, you'll hurt it worse.
6. Exfoliate the area well before and after shaving. This will prevent ingrown hairs.
Also, be prepared for a bit of discomfort when it starts to grow. Stubble isn't pleasant so you need to think about the regrowth that will happen in a couple of days.

It is not dangerous. Just make sure you use a sharp razor and that your skin/hair is wet. You can also try using shaving cream to avoid razor burn and bumps. It is a good idea to trim if your hair is really long because that make shaving easier and you wont have to pass over the same spot more than once.

I know before the first time you shave you think you're gonna slice and dice and bleed all over the place right LOL, it's actually very hard to cut yourself, easier to do it trimming with scissors actually. I recommend just shaving around your butt and lips first and experimwent with shaving the upper later, sometimes you get razor bumps there. Thats the only place I get them, so I just shave my crack, sack and shaft and trim the uppers, but yeah, before I started I thought the idea was crazy, it's actually very easy and safe. It feels great and doesn't itch if you keep up with it every 2 or 3 days.

The most you'll have to worry about is ingrown hairs and the potential of nicking yourself with the razor. I've been doing it over 7 years now. Use a fresh blade and shaving cream/gel/foam. Make sure your skin and hair are wet, and use warm water.

It's not dangerous just time consuming and can be very uncomfortable as the regrowth is prickly. I would stick to trimming Quicker options and does not get uncomfortable just have to remember to trim more often possibly when you cut your nails or pluck your eyebrows.

MAKE SURE you shave WITH the hair growth, not against it if you know what I'm saying. If not, you will have serious ingrown hair/ bump issues.

Not dangerous at all. The only thing you have to worry about is the occasional ingrown hair. They suck.
