Only men were allowed to shave
Men, for the most part, weren’t concerned with shaving or trimming hair from any part of their bodies until the late 18th century.
Barbers at the time, primarily men of color, only offered services to other men, leaving it perfectly safe to assume that women didn’t shave. So far, there’s been no evidence that supports the possibility. Shaving wasn’t necessarily an easy procedure and left very little room for mistakes, so the chances of women actually shaving themselves seem slim.
