On a historical note, these razors have more in common than meets the eye. Both are significant in the Gillette timeline as both marked design changes that were not announced or promoted. Very uncharacteristic for the attention hungry Gillette.. Reference the recent Single Video for more information here. These ads here are only a few of the surviving mentions of the Ranger Tech, and here's the clincher: these are not ads from Gillette but local stores trying to sell their sets. It's still a mystery as to why Gillette did not promote the 1941 or 1946 Ranger Tech set, but plastered every wall with the Super Speed and later Notched Super-Speed. Let us know your thoughts!
