 do you shave for yourself or for some boy?
if for a boy stop it.
if for yourself I find that using hair conditioner as a shave lubricant really helps.... some people are just more sensitive to shaving than others btw.

I don't do it for my boyfriend, its more of a personal preferance especially with summer here !

 So stop shaving! If a guy doesn't like it, ask to see his perfectly waxed bikini line. Just keep it trimmed and clean, I'm sure a guy would rather see that than a stubbly itchy rash. I personally never shave or wax the area because it seems like a ridiculous double standard. Seriously, when was the last time you heard guys en masse talking about the possibility of pouring burning wax on their genitals and ripping their hair out by the roots? What's even the point, do you gain anything from this painful and expensive ordeal? I used to though and without waxing, there's no way to get it totally smooth. It helps to do it at the end of a shower when the follicle is softer, but it sounds like you're already doing everything you can.

When you say aftershave, do you mean some sort of perfume? Because it could be that this is irritating your skin and adding to the rash.
I would highly recommend waxing; I'm not sure what you're not ready for, but if it's the pain, although it does hurt at first you soon get used to it, and it's worth it for the nice- and long-lasting results!
