The first week after the initial trim/shave was pretty brutal. Luckily it was still warm enough outside that I could wear shorts to class, so I opted the boxers and the basketball shorts, to minimize any friction.
As for shaving and hair growing back quicker, that's a myth, so by all means go for the shave. Once you get used to it, you can do it in about a minute when you're in the shower, and it's not risky at all once you know what you're doing. If you don't want itchiness, make sure you shave at least every week (not that difficult) and your hair will stay short enough that you won't experience any friction or pain.
Get past the first little bit, get in the habit, and your skin will get used to it. The only time I feel scratching is if I haven't shaved in over a week.
