    How can I tell the difference between a Super Speed and a Ranger Tech?

    Ranger Techs have a handle that has a band at the bottom where as Super Speeds do not.

    1941 Ranger Techs do not have end caps whereas 1946 Ranger Techs and Super Speeds do have end caps.

    All true.

    Also, as good as the SS shaves, the RT shaves noticeably better. ;)

    Yeah, this helps. I have a Super Speed. A '52 (X4). I was hoping I'd found a good deal on an RT. Thanks for the info, guys.
