Do You Anneal Brass Rod for Pinning?
I have tried pinning with brass rod and find that annealing the rod almost makes the job harder. It's harder to get a precise peening of the rod and it seems the pin is more apt to bend.
Do you anneal your brass stock when you pin razors?

I do not anneal. I find it easier to bend the pin when it is annealed.

I do not anneal. I have actually never tried it, but don't think I want to.

Nope. The rod I've been using seems just right but on the same token if I ended up with some different brand I'd keep it in mind.

I never tried annealing, and I can't really see any reason to either. Brass is fairly soft to begin with and I find it peens easily enough.

No: the rod I've got is malleable enough as it is. Mind you, there's brass, and then there's brass, and by reputation some of the more specialised varieties can show a marked tendency to flake.
