I definitely remember a thread about this topic but I can't seem to find it on search, so I'll start a new one. If someone knows where it is, please let direct me and lock this.
I want to trim myself down there for my ladyfriend. What are the proper ways to handle this? How do I avoid it itching like hell?

Get in the shower. Stand under hot water for 5 minutes so the hair down there gets soft and the pores open up.
Use shaving cream if you wish. I recommend it for a refreshing feeling afterwards.
In an extremely careful, preferably sober state, slowly shave. Rinse the razor every other stroke.
Get out of shower. Replace the razor tip with a clean one, and clean the shower to make sure your hair is not all over the place.
The first few times it will feel weird, but you'll get used to it. You'll even like it, because it feels cleaner and more comfortable.
If you just want to trim however (which is what I used to do... but it's very cumbersome), grab a pair of nose/ear trimming scissors, and follow the steps outlined above.
Trim the hair with scissors or clippers first. Do it in or after a hot shower so the skin is less irritated when you shave, and definitely use shaving cream(I prefer lotion for this).
Idk if it's just for me, but using that St. Ives apricot scrub when I shower prevents ingrown hairs and lets me shave against the grain for silky smooth awesomeness.
Also, don't shave it all off. That's too feminine, and most girls(the ones I've dealt with anyways) find it a turn off. I leave a patch above the dick itself, but I trim it down to about an inch. Rule of thumb here is that the dick and sack should be smooth, the rest of it trimmed to maintain the optical inch and cleanliness.
While a hilarious site, the product is actually quite good at what it does.
That bodygroom looks much safer, but then you're leaving a little bit of stubble.
It's hard to go wrong with an electric trimmer, whether it's the Norelco or another brand.

One does NOT recommend trying this to get close to the skin... I've heard unpleasant stories about people trying this to get close liek a razor (using a trimmer without the guard on) and getting caught in it... I don't think any guys need to imagine more than that to proceed with caution.
Thank you for making me squirm in my chair.
If you were going to go the clipper option. just use it to shorten the hairs and then use the blade.
I've had my trimmer catch on, and painfully rip out, a little bundle of hairs. That wasn't much fun, I can't imagine how catching skin would feel.
Now I just use the trimmer on my bush, the rest gets a nice, sharp manual razor. This leaves me feeling smooth and looking clean without an unsightly bald spot. 8)
never cut my balls, razorburn ,yeah in the beginning, but after a while not so much. trust me this process isnt hard and it isnt that scary as long as you arent insanely accident prone. basically if you can shave your face you can shave your pubes. but if its your first time i would suggest a pre shave trimming it down with scissors. as beard trimmers do have a tendency to jam and pull.
being "bald" in one place is a matter of personal opinion. in my experience sheer baldness is welcomed openly, for its lack of scratchiness
also conditioner works well as a shaving creme substitute
If you want, spot shave afterward with your face razor, using a brand new blade.

How do I stop this from itching so god damned much?
You can't. That's why I prefer shaving over trimming. When you trim it, the shortened hair makes your skin itch as it's pressed against the clothing. It's annoying as hell.
You shave various parts of your body when you're bored?
Dear god.
I can't help but think of Quagmire from family guy.
Does this look like a Q?
How about now?
Hehehe the first time there isnt much you can do, try some really mild aftershave and loose underwear. It sucks the first few times but in later it'll stop being itchy and razor burny.
All I know is that if it grows as stubble, it'll probably be pointy and worse. keep it shaven.

As for electric trimming, make sure you don't go too close. I did once and my gf complained about the stubbles.
I just trim my crotch real short though, shaving looks silly imo.
Er, no, it's there to keep your genitals warm and capable of producing babies.
The itchiness is why I recommended NOT shaving, just trimming. When I was a lot younger, I tried every way imaginable of shaving, and it always resulted in razor burn and itching, and nasty stubble as it grew out. Trimming to about 1/4" avoids both problems.
As I said, it's probably a question of hair thickness.

I recommend trimming than shaving...shaving itches way too much when it comes back, and then there are in grown hairs and it's just not very fun.
"A few hypotheses also exist about why we have hair on our pubic places. Some people believe that it keeps our genitals warm. In prehistoric times, when only a loincloth was worn to cover the penis or vulva, this might have held true."
"The hair provides warmth and padding."
"Some theories suggest that pubic hair is to provide warmth and reduce temperature fluctuations around the genitals."
There is no conclusive answer, but I don't generally make wild, unsupported statements.
I do take back what I said about reducing friction, because apparently that's another theory.

I use a norelco bodygroom and never use a guard, and have never had any thing remotely like that happen to me.
My only advice is a razor for the junk and clippers for the bush.
Also, as stated above, from what I gather, it is there to help with scent. Myself, I wax. Dont want to risk using a razer in that area. Yeah, im a chicken.
seriously though, I use a trimmer to cut the length down, and then razor for smoothness. washing with some sort of exfolient (sp?) usually does the trick for curbing any in-growns or other exciting hair related problems.
So this one is more for you when you've already shaved once (real short) in the shower.
I thought this was a joke when I heard it but it turns out pretty good. First, you need a razor you trust (I use the M3) and this should be done with dry skin for optimal performance. Next you need to grab your schlong with one hand and probably pull it a little so your skin gets stretched out. Third, shave like you're used to but do it gently and be sure to only do this on your scrotum (the balls). You can also do this on the side but make sure that you don't do it above your penis. Does NOT work there.
Do not use water, just tap the razor against the hand sink or wherever you are. The reason this works is because the short hairs (1-3 mm) are easier to shave off when they're dry.
Finally hit the shower and then some moisturizer.
