I.m right handed so I.ll clean beads with either toe or left side of trowel . Doesn't everyone or is it just a bad Habbit
 
Whatever your doing with it you must be putting a lot of pressure on it for it to go that shape. Your not waiting until the gear has gone off before your cleaning beads off are you ?

No but prob did when I started and this is my first ever trowel. My theory was I was holding the trowel so there was no pressure on end . That's why I.ve gone for a 13 Inch and made me think is this why the older guys prefer smaller trowels.
 
A well worn in and used trowel should wear down to an off set wedge shape with well rounded corners.
 
Could just be the picture but it looks like the leading edge and trailing edge are banana shaped.
 
Looks like you scrape the floor with it ?? Hope not as you should be shot !! Lol I'm very anal (Yes marshy does anal) regard all my stuff that I look after it and would smash a shovel in anybody's face who wants to mess or disrespect my stuff
