It is a leap year - so there will obviously be more February acquisitions than normal 
Who started leap years?
Julius Caesar was behind the origin of leap year in 45 BC. The early Romans had a 355-day calendar and to keep festivals occurring around the same season each year a 22 or 23 day month was created every second year. Julius Caesar decided to simplify things and added days to different months of the year to create the 365-day calendar; the actual calculations were made by Caesar's astronomer, Sosigenes. Every fourth year following the 28th day of Februarius (February 29th) one day was to be added, making every fourth year a leap year. {Source: https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-leap-year-1989846)
Anyway - post your shaving acquisitions for the month here!
