To add to Barry's repost, here are a few suggestions for those of choose
to shave their nether regions:

1)  If you have long pubic hairs, trim hair with clippers or scissors.
    Electric clippers are best for this purpose.
2)  Take a _long_, _warm_ bath beforehand.
3)  Before applying shaving cream, rinse area with _cool_ water.
4)  Apply shaving cream a few minutes before shaving to soften hairs.
    Consider using a shaving cream with additional conditioners or aloe.
5)  Be sure to use a sharp blade.  You might try using two new blades
    if you are shaving a large area.
6)  When shaving, stroke an area no more than twice to reduce skin
    irritation.  On the first stroke, go "with the grain" to remove
    most of the hair, then go "against the grain" for a smooth, close
    shave.
7)  Be _sure_ to clean the area afterwards with soap and water to reduce
    the risk of infection.  Ideally, give the area a second cleansing using
    cotton balls and rubbing alcohol.
8)  Some people find daily applying baby powder or talcum powder especially 
    helpful after shaving to keep the area dry and irritation-free.
9)  Practice clean hygiene after shaving, washing the area at least once 
    a day to reduce sweat and oil build-up.
10) Go as long as possible between shavings to reduce skin irritation.


A few warnings (now that you have some guidelines...he he he):

1)  People who allergic and react to some shaving creams:  This area seems
    to have heightened sensitivity.  Furthermore, if it does react, your
    natural sweat and the natural abrasion this area receives will most
    likely make your life a living hell [temporarily].  Consider avoiding
    shaving all together, or try warning tip #3.  If you do decide to shave
    this area, make sure you use hypoallergenic shaving cream.
2)  People with sensitive skin may wish to avoid shaving for the same 
    reasons.  Again, if you chose to shave, consider shaving cream made for
    sensitive skin and use a hypoallergenic moisturizer afterwards.
3)  Consider closely trimming your hair instead.  It provides many of the 
    benefits of shaving without all the risks!
4)  Letting hair grow out after shaving your pubic area is a bitch.  The 
    sharp hairs combined with the sensitive skin will make you realize 
    _just_how_much_ movement happens in that area on an average day.
    Chaffing is nearly unavoidable.  
5)  Keeping #4 in mind, people who walk/run/exercise a lot might wish
    to skip shaving all together if you don't want to invest the time
    in regular shavings.
    [Dan ran 4 miles a day when he was first shaved.
     Dan was in extreme pain when the hairs began to grow back.]

Hope this helps!
