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.

Yep, no contest. Nothing is better than a vintage Puma and that includes a vintage Revisor. The new manufacture? No contest.

Never be your last!!!!!
I have never had a Puma but mainly because I have yet to find one I liked the look and shape of to date. I do have a Revisor and it is a great shaver with obvious German craftsmanship!
Now quit saying crazy things like it will be your last!!!
