Hi tanney,
I'd do a search of this forum first, actually. This is one of the more common questions and there is a stack of good advice in here!

Yes, you should trim first before you actually shave. As for shaving the penis, some people have had some success shaving when they're erect. For me, I just make sure I pull the skin as tight as I can wherever I'm shaving. Loose skin folds and gets cut too easy

Good luck, and if you still have any questions go right ahead and ask!
