Here's what I do that seems to work well.
First, you'll need a few things. A brand new razor, shaving cream, and some sort of after-shave moisturizer. For shaving cream, I use a shaving gel made for sensitive skin, and for moisturizer I use an unscented post-shave gel made by Gillette.
You'll want to start by trimming back some of the hair first to make shaving easier. Use a pair of scissors or a beard trimmer if you have one. it doesn't have to look good, you're just getting rid of some hair so there's less to shave with the razor.
Now take a hot shower or bath. Wash your pubic area with soap first thing. This washes the oils away so the water can be absorbed into the hair making it softer.
When you're done with the shower, dry off, and lather up with the shaving cream. Use the razor and carefully remove the hair. Go with the grain, not against it. Try not to go over the same spot too many times. Add more shaving cream as needed if things start to feel dry. Just keep going until the hair's gone.
Hop back in the shower and rinse off, then get out and dry off.
Rub some moisturizer on all the skin that you shaved.
You're done. Admire your work in the mirror.
