This is a thing I always do, too, that's wrong: things like toothbrush and razor don't have to go in your 311 bag, since they don't contain liquid. We all get so conditioned to treat it as a toiletry bag that it's easy to forget that it's just the liquids that have to be in the 311. Solid deodorant, razor, toothbrush, nightguard, cold medicine, etc, can all go in something else that doesn't come out at the checkpoint, so if you're tight on space in the 311, pull those things out.

Of course the 311 bag 10 feet away from me in the hotel room where I'm at has both my razor and toothbrush...

I even have a separate toothbrush that stays in the 311 - I get packs of them at costco in case guests forget to bring them, and just put one in the ziploc. I also usually have a few dental hygiene packs with a toothbrush, floss, and paste in the car so I can grab them as I get out at the airport if I forgot.
