How much time should you wait between shaving and swimming?

I feel stupid asking this but I didnt know where else to go. Im 23 male I went swimming today in the ocean within 1/2 hour of shaving. After I got out

I feel stupid asking this but I didnt know where else to go. Im 23 male I went swimming today in the ocean within 1/2 hour of shaving. After I got out of the water the places I shaved (my face neck and private area) felt like on fire and very itchy. I never shaved and went swimming that soon after. is the salt in the water the reason? Is it just my skin or was there something else in the ocean maybe causing this reaction? also not to get into my personal business but my scrotum and the area I shaved around my genitals was of course under my bathing suit and I was wearing underware under them so it wasn't like direct contact with the ocean water itself so would that make a difference? any help please!

or:This is embarrassing for me too but here is my answer ...it is Better to wax...I know it can be pretty painful however this won't happen to you and the hair will grow back much slower and less prickly and thick. However, if this isn't an option for you, you can use these tips. #1 (this is hard to do) shave under soapy warm/hot water (however much heat you can take) #2 after shaving put cream on your legs #3 wait at least 4 hours after shaving to go in cold water if it is a heated pool that your are planning on going in then you can wait 2 hours until going in the water. Hope you find these tips helpful.
