How to safely groom 'down there'? Especially with electric trimmers.

Hey all, I'm 23F and I am kinda clueless when it comes to grooming my pubic area, and it's not something that I can ask my mom to because that would raise unwanted questions. I know there should be no shame in body hair, but this is just a personal preference and something I have been wanting to do recently.

I've seen the following common methods for grooming: trimming, shaving, and waxing, and out of all of these, I am leaning the most towards trimming, and maybe waxing (shaving with blades is a big no because I'm clumsy and will probably cut myself, so I'd rather not).

When it comes to trimming, i tried looking up on Google but it didn't really give me any answers, so I'll forward and list them down:

  1. Do I need to use scissors first to reduce the hair length?

  2. What direction should the razor go while trimming? From head to toe, or from toe to head?

  3. Should the guard be used on the trimmer head, or not putting it on is okay?

  4. Are there any pre and post trimming tips that I need to be aware of?

  5. How good/bad is the regrowth? Is it unbearably prickly?

What is the overall proper prep/post care? I know to use non-scented products and wear loose/soft underwear afterwards. But beyond that, I don't know for sure what I should be doing to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.

There are so many ways to go about this and it's too much. Any advice would be so awesome ❤️🥹
