idk much about skincare but I've learned that I should be exfoliating, especially to prevent razor bumps which I get a lot of around my chin

but there's a lot of different types of exfoliating products out there and I find it a bit overwhelming, so what should I be using to prevent skin irritation from shaving?

A close shave will do some exfoliation, I recommend shaving with a safety razor for the best and cheapest shave.

As for non hairy areas that you aren't going to shave you can use something loose and gritty with your soap like salt or pumice, you can also use a scrubbing tool like a loofa or coarse glove. If you use the second I recommend throwing them in the wash frequently so you aren't just rubbing bacteria and mold all over yourself.
