First, I'd have to say that if you really want to do this, that you will probably want to stick to it. When it starts growing back it will be very itchy and irritable. It's also easy to nick yourself if done incorrectly, and I don't know about the person above me, but I know that it's rather... inconvenient to do so. By which I mean painful. There are definitely ways to do it to minimize both the chance that you will cut yourself, and the amount of pain you feel if it does happen.

It is suggested you do this in the shower, as hot water will soften the skin and open the pores, reducing the amount of razor burn you experience. This rough guide is put together using experience and internet research, and it's suggested you use a normal, non-electric razor. A simple Gillette or Store-brand razor is perfect.

(A) Lather either a bought shaving créme or regular soap, and apply it to the area.
(B) On the first run, go with the grain. Shave in the direction that the hair grows. This will most likely be down.
(C) Keep a very light grip on the razor, putting only a small amount of pressure on the skin, as this will reduce the chances of cutting yourself.
(D) Stretch the skin in each area in order to create a flat surface for shaving.
(E) When you are done with the first pass, wash away any remaining foam and check for cuts or tender areas.
(F) If all is clear, then lather whatever you used before, again, and re-apply to the crotch.
(G) On the second pass, shave side to side. This will shorten it down to a very small size.
(H) repeat steps D through F.
(I) On the third pass, shave against the grain, which will probably be up. This will kill off almost all of the hair, and you will be left with a silky smooth surface.

Hair will start to grow back in about 20-24 hours, and this is when you repeat step F and I, in order to dissuade any new hair from annoying the heck out of you.
