I used to have this problem too.
You need to use some really moisturizing shaving cream (no soap or shampoo or any other substitute!). You might want to try a man's brand, too, and see how it compares to a woman's.
Next you need a super sharp, new razor. I'd definitely recommend a man's razor for this too, as it will probably be sharper and last longer. Depending on the type of razor, you will need to dispose of it and get a new one fairly frequently.
And lastly, a trick that works well for me is shaving toward the end of my (hot) shower, after the water has had a chance to soften my skin and hair. I know that if I try to shave at any other time, I am more likely to irritate my skin.
Hope that helps!
