I HATE shaving, must have relief!?

Every time I shave my legs, I end up with one of three things. The first is red irritated spots/bumps all up and down my leg. The second is cuts. It's as if I'm a human sacrifice or something. The the third is itchy dry skin. It doesn't matter what kind of razer blade I use, nothing seems to work! Please, can somebody give me a remedy so I won't fear the pain of this awful taks anymore?!
