Is there a trick to NOT getting ingrown hairs?
I thought about a product like Nair but I'm more afraid of chemical burn.

ALWAYS use a sharp razor, make sure the area is smooth/slick with shaving cream/soap so razor doesn't tug at the hair.
And try not to get too sweaty
down there either
and keep loose clothes from rubbing against skin.
NEVER apply the freshly shaven area with cologne or heavy lotions. Your pores are open and the alcohol in the cologne makes them close, but with the alcohol/cologne inside the pores.
