for you, deoderant, foot deoderant, shampoo, soap, razors, shave cream, after-shave, toothpaste, tooth brush, dental floss, nail clippers, Q-Tips, ** i usually bring my own towels and face cloths, as the ones in the truckstops, i question their cleanliness, and absorbancy**, clean under wear, clean socks, clean blue jeans, clean shirts, or "pocket T-shirts", a spare pair of shoes/boots or sneakers, comb or brush, hair drier if you require that, scissors, band-aids, toilet paper (and i usually carry that in my shave kit when i use the bathrooms, as they can and WILL be empty of toilet paper, when YOU NEED IT...!!), maybe a bottle of hand sanitizer,, flip-flops for when you use the showers, wear them, DO NOT TRUST the floors to be clean, but instead infected with foot fungus from someone else.......
and above all else, when you take a shower, NEVER SIT ON ANYTHING in the shower room......or you could "pick-up" something from the last person, or two, or three, or four........
What will I need? 
like I often say to my sons I may be old, but I am wise not stupid
