I recently bought a pair of 4/8s off the bay because they came in a nice vintage case. My plan was to throw them in the bin and just use the case. However, after the initial shock of the size wore off I've became quite enchanted with them. I'm thinking of having them honed and using them as travel razors.

Could anyone share their opinion of the good/bad points of this size of razor? And does anyone use them as their preferred size?

Cheers
