Thread: Question: How to create tension on the pinning for the razor

Because of this thread I just took a shave with a Dovo. This was the first time I had noticed the naii type of pin. And mine was a little loose. Glad I read that if tightening one of these you just end-up with a bent pin. I'm going to have to repin this one. I cant have a razor with this type of pin. Whats wrong with these guys!
@10Pups I'll be right there. Will a German Curve work?

As with any mass produced product.
To increase productivity, you must first remove quality.

Just for clarification:

Almost all the Factory Produced SR's now use the one sided pins and have for decades..

They will not bend if you only tap on the peen side, if you try and peen the "front" side (the head of the Nail) it will bend..

OK, Thanks for the clarification Glen. Maybe I'll give it a go and try to tighten it up a bit. Still think I should repin. Don't have anything else to do as the radio conditions suck right now. Maybe in the morning. I had a couple beers.

Smash the hammer on your thumb.
If it bleeds then that was too hard..

I think that's what I was taught?
