When you first start shaving, you may get a bumpy rash down there; it is to be expected at first. Once your skin starts getting used to being shaved, you don't get the rash anymore. Let the rash heal before you shave again. Once your skin is acclimated, it's not usually good to shave more frequently than every other day.

I usually shave in the shower. I wash first and the hot water helps soften and prepare the hairs. I use a good gel shaving cream and a triple blade razor. Like disqreet said, don't get in a hurry, and re-lather as often as needed. Sometimes I just use soap instead of gel and have had no problems with it.
