      Soooo itchy, like, wouldn’t wish upon my enemies itchy. Can’t be scratching my junk in public that often.

        Clear aloe gel from the drugstore. Not the aftersun with “cooling” medicine for sunburn, you’ve been warned.

        Just the plain clear stuff. Prevents ingrown hairs and makes it all sterile and not inflamed. Good slippage when dry too. You’ll be sticky for about 5 minutes while it sets.

        If you get a small trimmer and trim carefully (!) you can skip the phase where your hairs grow through your skin, which likely causes the itch. If the itch is there immediately after shaving and only lasts for the first hours after you shaved, the itch is more likely caused by the chemicals you put on your skin, use a shaving cream for sensitive skin and avoid everything with alcohol (such as after-shave).
