If I'm backpacking or canoe camping I bring small squeeze bottle Dr Bronners soap to wash my hands, face and pots and pans and occasionally swish a little around my mouth (it tastes awful).

We usually have a packet of baby wipes or other large towlettes and about the 3rd day out I'll wipe myself down with them. No deodorant, no razor or anything else, heck I rarely even change my clothing. I just get scraggly, grimy and smelly. I don't realize just how smelly until I get home, throw my dirty clothing in front of the washer and take a shower. Then when I go to put the clothes in the washer I get a whiff and it's powerful.

For car camping I simply bring my travel shower bag with all of the necessities like toothbrush and paste, soap, deodorant, shampoo etc. and shower and shave as usual.

It might be less expensive to buy the products independently especially if you're going to be camping and hiking often, but if your trip is a one-off, then getting an all in one camping cleanliness package is a fantastic remedy.

One thing I don't recall being mentioned here (and I'm not going to reread all the thread) is the little Wisp toothbrush/pick thingies. I like the heck out of them.
