I’ve read in some places that the nobility of Ancient Egypt practised body hair removal but I have not been able to find much information on this by myself. Some websites say that both men and women (of which standing?) did it, but it seems doubtful to me.
hi! not discouraging anyone from providing an overview of hair-removal in ancient Egypt specifically, but FYI, there are a couple of sections in the FAQ* that can get you started; take a skim through for references to Egypt:
On the history of facial hair and the shaving thereof
When did women start to shave their legs/armpits?
