From someone who was plagued by irritation.....Here's a thought, avoid shaving creams or potions all together. We've got sensitive bits down there and those products just weren't meant for them. I use liquid (never bar) soap. Bar soap leaves a film and can cause the blade to skip. The inexpensive antibacterial body wash stuff from WalMart works just fine.
I always shave in the shower, never the bath, but always make sure there's plenty of water on the surface and the bits aren't not soaped to a lather, just to make it slippery. I use a scrubby poof for this.
Use a double bladed razor, but not the disposable kind. I found using the fancy million blade razors make irritation worse as do the lubricated kind. I never use a brand new blade on my bits. Shave your legs with it first.
Get a mirror and study the direction of your hair growth. You will find it grows a bunch of directions down there. DON'T ever shave against the growth. I made that mistake and suffered for years. Always shave WITH the growth. The shave won't last as long, but there will be less irritation. It will also take some time to get to know the growth directions so you can do it without a mirror. I do it by feel now.
Lastly, always rinse the bits well because all that soap down there can cause bad things to happen. I also never use lotions on the area. Once you get the hang of it, it will come easier and faster.
Good luck!
