Is #9 graphite maybe?

Doesn't look like there's any room to join the circle, all spaces appear accounted for, or did I miss something? I've been out of touch for a few days.

People would just think they were smelling embalming fluid as they approached the casket...Just imagine the funeral... friends and family wouldn't be able to even approach the casket!
Yes @GaryTha I would like to join please and thank you.
I think I'd like to be removed from the circle of commitment, not because I think or am planning on failing out; more so that I travel for work in the spring and summer and don't want to slow up the group if I cannot participate in some activities. So I'd like to be removed, please
Postshave: ice cold german tap water, Nivea Sensitive Aftershave Balm...
I was a cartridge and canned foam user since I started shaving, always upgrading to the latest Gillette system. I wanted to be clean shaven daily, but I had to compromise. Normally, I would shave every 3 days, because my face couldn't take it more frequently. The more the blades, the worse the irritation.
In April 2018, I stumbled upon an article about shaving where DE razors were mentioned. A few days later I decided giving it a try and bought my first kit. It turns out that my skin is normal, it just can't tolerate multi-blade cartridges. Now I do 3-pass shaves every day without any problem. I am a happy camper. Perhaps, too happy...
I plunged into all ADs, razors, brushes, soaps, blades, AS. Now that my technique is solid, I want to reduce the excess items. The one thing I liked from my cartridge days was simplicity.
Where I was about 7-8 years ago. I was tired of the bumps and irritation, the stupid expense, the gunk I couldn't get out of a 4 or 5 blade cart. I'm old enough to have first started with a DE just before the carts came out. In returning to that, I ended up here and down the rabbit hole I went. Turns out that straight razors are at the bottom along with making your own soap and other forms of acquired madness.I was a cartridge and canned foam user since I started shaving, always upgrading to the latest Gillette system.

In order to be in the drawing, the drivers must write a 150-word post about shaving based on this article.

I don't know why, but even knowing that you are from Germany based on your profile, I imagine someone importing large glass bottles of german tap water that they keep in an ice bath just to use as a post-shave splash.
Now the occuring picture of someone carrying a large glass bottle to the airport counter will make me smile, too, whenever I type these words in my SOTD-post.It makes me smile every time and it probably shouldn't because it isn't that funny.
