I use the back of the blade being replaced to scrub those hideous glue/wax drops.

I rinse under warm water, scrub with a brush if needed, dry, and apply a little drop of oil in the pivot point every couple of shaves. This is a pretty easy razor to maintain.

"As for cleaning the razor, the best solution is to soak the razor overnight in a solution of Simple Green. After soaking, rinse thoroughly and the razor will be completely clean."

I have seen some tiny bit of buildup of the glue building up. I tried the Simple Green solution and it works fine. Just place a bit in the bottom of a cup, sit the razor in upside down, let it sit overnight, rinse and it comes out looking new. Works great!

Great tips everyone! Sounds like hot water for basic maintenance and Simple Green for additional buildup are both good methods.

I have been using the Genesis for exactly 18 months. For the last six months I have been using it almost exclusively even if sometimes, rarely, I feel compelled to take one of the other razors out of the drawer.
Having said that, I have never seen any need of any special maintanance. Now and then I use an old toothbrush and soap, as I do with with other razors.
Never had a problem with glue even if I change blade each time.
This does not mean that a person who likes to see all surfaces shining all the time including the area underneath the “cap” may feel differently. In that case I see why it would need more work.
