It will never be your last purchase. There is always another razor out there for you. Can't answer your questions without pictures of your choices.

If it were me I would go for the second. You get two razors for one money if you get it cheaper than the first one. You can keep one and sell the other. That would cut the cost of the one you keep.

Having had both of those choices I have to say that I much prefer my vintage Puma, however when talking vintage it is all about the condition. If you are comparing a near mint or NOS puma to the revisor it is a reasonable comparison. I think Revisor makes nice razors, but the vintage puma has far more allure for me, and I like the shave better. It is all about personal preference though and you may have to get them both in order to decide for yourself. Just a few years ago the Pumas were all the rage, but prices seem to be a little lower now, in fact most seem quite reasonable.

By sharing those eBay listings, you have most certainly contributed to increasing the final auction price.

Inspect those Pumas carefully as top one appears to have a tear on the edge just left center. That is always the concern when buying vintage razors before you have the opportunity to inspect them in person. But I give a plus one on vintage Pumas as well. Good luck with your choice.

No experience with revisor, but Puma do make a good razor. The 95 looks nice.
