Remember too that the disposable razors, combs, and toothbrushes are already single use plastic.
Not to argue your statement, but when did combs become single use (this coming from a bald guy)?

Count me among those who welcome the change with toiletries. My business hotel of choice switched to refillable bottles mounted in the shower about a year ago. The only downside was the adjustment period for the hotel staff remembering to refill reusable bottles (shower gel, in my case - not shampoo). After a couple of months, the bottles have always been full.
