Stropping can be a challenge too because some of those 4/8s have thin tangs.

I feel comfortable with a 4/8. I know it won't cut as deep as a 6/8. :hmmm:
I like 4/8's, they are part of the kit. Presently Boker do 4/8's new, they were their best sellers in early 1900's

I love the 4/8s in my collection. They are nimble and shave just as well as my 6/8s. I use a paddle strop and find it helps when sharpening a smaller razor.
Among my favorite 4/8s:
Strega (Esklstuna Sweden)
Filarmonica Inox
Heljestrand MK24
Le Grelot P-Hospital
These four razors are all top quality shavers!
Happy Shaving!
My Boker 4/8 gives the easiest BBS of all my razors bril.
