Hygiene in the field:post TDM

[dude_uk]

So post nuclear strike how will a soldier look after his hygiene when he is on deployment? The prevention of disease will be at an all time high.

The average British infantryman at the moment tends to deviate towards 'wet wipes' (moist paper towels) for washing with, which are disposable and crucially save on water. Along with the requisite razor and toothbrush/toothpaste.

However along with other items western society demands that are mass produced and meant to be disposed of, these things will no longer be around.

Will this mean a return to facial hair? Or will LCPL Smith and Marine Harper be designated platoon Barber? Carry a cut-throat razor? Old school soap and flannel means using a lot more water.

I know the Romans used urine as a toothpaste, but there might be a mutiny!
