Would you share a roll on with teen DS?

I'm packing for a short trip with 18yo DS.

We need to travel very light. We'll be sharing a tent so logistically can share toiletries. So, would you share a roll on deodorant? What about a razor? I'll draw the line at toothbrushes....

Any tips?

DD is always nicking my everything despite having her own exactly the same so I'd have to say yes it's fine

Individually nothing takes up much space. That doesn't mean you can take everything

Can you not share a spray deodorant? Me and DH often will share a spray deodorant. To be honest in an emergency I would also share a roll on but I wouldn’t plan on doing so.
I think its good hygiene to not share a razor - They are small so not sure how much space will be saved by only taking one.

The only toiletries I would share are ones that are squirted out of the bottles. I wouldn't share anything that involved us both rubbing it on our armpits, lol.

I think I'd share a razor if you had your own set of blades each, then it's just the stick bit you're sharing. No to toothbrush and roll on. I do think there are bigger items you can cut down on that makes this a non issue though

Also if he tries to shave his face with the razor you've been using on your legs he'll cut his face to ribbons!

Depends on the teens hygiene. If he’s rolling out the sleeping bag, and putting on deodorant without a shower then no I wouldn’t share.

if he showers every morning and the roll on is going onto a clean washed pit then yes I would share.

I'd share deodorant. I shave my legs about once every 6 months and my fiancé doesn't shave at all so that's moot but I would share a razor with my child hypothetically. I wouldn't share toothbrushes, that makes me feel a bit gross.

No.
