Maybe easier to go down the SQ route: Downsize the amenity kit itself to the minimum and have articles such as razors and toothbrushes laid out in the lavatories where anybody needing one can just take one.
Downsized on SQ for F? I think there may be a bit of a confusion here, as it was actually upsized from their previous version.
Men's kit includes a candle (not to be used on board for obvious reasons) with a couple of substantial size of skincare products (including a soap, which you wouldn't normally expect in an amenity kit). Ladies kit includes a full-size perfume and again substantial size of skincare products. More like a goody bag than a traditional amenity with traditional contents like toothbrushes etc.
Just that the contents are completely different from what would normally be contained in an amenity kit. As you say, they have plenty of items in the loo, and eye shades and socks are provided separately.
They have scrapped it from J altogether though (they did hand out a travel washing kit - for clothes, not for humans - for a while, although it seems to have finished now), but whatever you might need is in the loo. No individual hand cream etc., however (unless I somehow missed it!).
P.S. I personally preferred the previous SQ PJs compared to the current Lalique ones. The current ones feel scratchy/itchy to my skin, whereas the previous ones felt nice, and a bit like lounge wear than PJs. I'm really hoping that the new BA ones are non-scratchy to the skin as the current ones. I don't mind the current BA PJs at all - they are handy, and they don't make me itch.
