Don't forget that the Maim passive gets upgraded. After a bit of math it comes out to:

Razor's Maim = +85 damage per AA to jungle monsters, +75 to lane minions and pets

Lantern's Maim = +125 damage per AA to jungle monsters, lane minions and pets

Plus, the combine cost for the 2 is a lowly 100g. You say that you want both the Razor and a Vampiric Sceptre item, well from that description it seems that you're actually getting the Lantern minus the 100g combine cost, which is stupid....

Having said that, I agree that Lantern is a shit item now. I'd rather start with Cloth+5pots, build Ninja Tabi and Vampiric, get the Sightstone early, then build a FUCKING RAVENOUS HYDRA. It might seem pretty tough since you lose jungle speed AND it costs a lot. But if you get 2-3 successful ganks then the end result is better than having built a Razor/Lantern + other stuff.
