I would imagine that you will want leggings... they would be more comfortable for a man. And as for shaving - try it and find out!

A Fact: among more expensive/dearer tights - like those for 'cycling, skiing, athletics - male and female tights are made from shaped panels, and are different for men and women;
However - among the budget tights they come off the same production lines - all they do is change the tags, so men's tights are simply labelled as one size larger - the fit comes from using cotton/lycra or pollycotton/lycra blends, not from shaping the individual panels...

A Tip: To get the right fit in what you find in your local shops go one size larger than what you take in your own underwear.

I find that "women's fit" cotton/lycra tights/leggings in a size Large for me, will stretch sufficiently over their first few wearings and washes, so that they fit as well as the "male-fit" 'cycling tights I also wear in winter..

Very Happy
