Take it from me. I am the shave queen. I have been shaving for about 18 years now. Here is some advice from a pro:
1) Use thick hair conditioner instead of soap or shaving cream. Leave it on for about 2 minutes before shaving. It softens the hair and the skin making the process a lot more comfortable.
2) Shave everyday. I know you don't want to but your skin will get used to it. Eventually the itching and the bumps will go away as your skin adjusts. If you just shave every once in a while, your skin will never have the chance to thicken and it will itch like crazy.
3) Use a good razor with at least 4 or 5 blades. If you use those cheap plastic razors with 2 blades, your skin will get chewed to bits.
4) Pull the skin you are shaving taut while you do it. the tighter the skin, the smoother the glide cutting down on nicks and bumps.
Hope I helped : )
P.S. Ignore those guys above who say real men don't shave. Nothing is sexier than smooth skin.

LOL. You are not alone there. You shouldn't shave with a razor but rather trim with a buzzer as the rash is dreadful when you shave "that" area bald. The reason the rash will not leave is the moisture in your groinal area. Use hydrocortisone cream directly on the rash along with some baby powder to keep the area dry and it should clear up in no time.

It's classic razor burn! Just let it grow out and in a week or so when you do shave again make sure your not using a dull razor and use shave gel or something. Hair remover works better, you wont get the itchyness or the red bumps- i recommend neet sensitive- always test a small patch first though before you do anything drastic! Best of luck!

Its ingrown hairs. Your not shaving with the growth of the hair. Wait a couple more days and during the days your waiting use lotion to moisturize that region. It'll also stop the itch.
To get a super smooth cut going with the growth of hair get a razor that uses vibration. Works every time and you get the cut you want without the irritation.

Was your razor dull? If so get a new one try shaving with the hair instead of against the grain, you know what I'm sayn. Do it slow and don't push so hard. Also you can rub most acne creams with benzoyl peroxide on it.

I'd use talc and electric clippers with a head guard on. You'd be far better trimming them down than shaving off. Be thankful you don't have to shave every day!

The wife shaves my bits, I think she got fed up of hairs in her teeth.
They do grow back stronger though, so when I'm 60 I probably wont be able to get my pants on!!
When I shave I use chili sauce to sooth myself.
Works nice.

Are you sure you don't have an infection? If it's still itching months later maybe you should consider going to see your doctor or a GUM clinic

Swallow your pride and have em waxed! Much smoother....otherise cream then daily after showers and shaving with something non irritating, such as E45, baby cream or Sudocream

let it heal then use shaving oil instead of foam this will reduce the imflamation and prevent you getting a rash.
