Are you a male or female? The reason I ask is that men know how to avoid burns and ingrown hairs as their face is quite sensitive (and public).
Take your time, do it in the bath or shower (good and warm). This opens up the pours in your skin and softens the hair. Go first with the grain, and then perpendicular to it. Take your time and use a good sharp razor. Follow up later in the day with an exfoliation.
I'm sorry, women don't know/appreciate the art of shaving. I've seen then shave their entire legs in 10sec flat, while a man who knows could spend 2 min on his face and not be considered slow.
Also... expect some ingrown hairs regardless of how you do it. Hair down there is curly, it'll start to curl as it grows and will often curl before breaking the surface of the skin (hence ingrown hair appears).
