I recently shaved for the first time (down there)

I second the waxing. No itching to worry about!!

Use coconut oil or lotion or even vaseline!

For me, it itched less each time i did it and I havent had an itch (nor bumps / razorburn) from shaving in years. I can go a month or two and it still wont itch. Make sure to use a shaving cream. Always use a fresh razor, and maybe even an aftershave. It might burn a tad, but it cuts down on the bumps.

Why did you decide to do that?

I am 36 and never shave my belly..

If you put deodorant on after you shave it keeps away razor bumps and burn. But yeah shaving isn't the greatest wax it away(tip from an ex stripper)

1) wash area

2) apply shave cream

3) clean razor, shave the way the hair grows

4) wash area

5) pat dry

6) moisturise

This is an interesting question. I'm a dude so I've only done it a few times, but every time I've done it it's itched like crazy. Waxing it would probably be the way to go.

You're doing it wrong. You should be sugaring, not shaving. https://youtu.be/HXR-jxO0ZDk

This is an amusing read about shaving ass hair:

I find that it itches every time, but you'll find ways to shoo off the itching faster.

For me, I shave with a men's razor, with conditioner as a lotion, in hot water.

Also, sweat REALLY makes it itch, so starting in the summer was definitely not the best timing. Try and keep cool for a while after shaving if you can to help :)

I do it because I love the smooth feelign

Shaving the pubic region is gonna always itch if you keep on doing the same thing. There are things you can do to make it itch less and there are plenty of tutorials online, but it's not just gonna get better over time.
