I'm in the same boat, although I'll always bring my own conditioner to hotels (I'm female, so it's probably not as big of a deal for guys with shorter hair). Occasionally, they don't provide it, or it's "conditioning shampoo" (which doesn't condition at all), or the bottles are too tiny and the product is too watered down to condition sufficiently.

But soap is soap is soap, and toothpaste is the same ingredients in the same concentration for basically every manufacturer (and even then, it's mostly the mechanical action of brushing that gets your teeth clean, not the toothpaste itself -- you can brush with water in a pinch and still be fine). I convinced my husband to buy generic toothpaste and it's saved us DOLLARS (Woo! Big money!) a year!
