Looking at this, then looking at photos of the last razor I peened - I definitely have room to improve. Will remember for the next one “tiny taps at the end”.I was doing some peening today, so I took a shot to show the importance of tiny taps, especially at the end. Once the razor is properly pinned you should then be applying so little pressure to the pin that it is just polishing and smoothing out the tiny dents caused by the taps before. That is how you get the very rounded, burnished look.
