how do you wipe behind the blade?

I haven't needed to "wipe behind the blade." But if I wanted to clean the cutting apparatus I would run it under very warm water and use a small brush to dislodge the debris.

Just remove the nut, wash, and return the pieces in their proper order. Hope this helps

I fold a paper towel and run the opener on it like I am opening a can. Works well for me

My husband is diligent about washing everything in soap & water. After reading comments about needing to dry well to prevent rust, I make sure to pat the cutting blade and metal parts dry with a soft towel and lie it down wide open to air dry. I like Maria's idea and will try it next time.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

I use rubbing alcohol. It evaporates the moisture on the blades to keep them from oxidizing.

Very Carefully! Seriously, you can use a dishcloth to wipe both sides in the widest open setting, but you gotta be careful...

With your fingernail, separate the inner portion and press to the left and slip the blade downto close

I cleaned using soap and sponge. Then spray with warm water and dry. No I did not take the blade off.

If I may, a recommendation for dealing with these: take about 1 tablespoon of baking soda with a couple drops of water directly on the blade and with a light duty scrubber similar to a Dobie, lightly scrub the blade (entirely) using a circular motion. Let it sit a minute then rinse itoff. It always works to remove them for me.

I just rinse the razor under hot water after each shave. I have a cup for toothbrushes and I set the razor on the edge of the cup. Haven't taken the blade out after each shave and cleaned it. That seems to be a bit extreme. I suppose you could get more shaves out of a blade, but they are cheap enough that I am glad to get 4-5 before changing.

I leave it on the shelf and use the clear plastic sheath that came with it for the blade, if desperate there is always duct tape on top of clear plastic. Best I can do for you.

You twist the bottom part of the handle which unscrews the base of the blade holder from the top part, you then can just take off the top and it will leave the blade exposed. You then just pop out the old blade with a new one, and return the top back on and tighten the mechanism with the handle again

There is a rigid plate on the inside of the handle. Pull it to the side and push the blade down

I just put my used blades in an empty plastic aspirin container. I pop open the lid and put the blade in. When it is full I will seal it shut with duct tape, write "razor blades" on it and toss it. No kids in my house to find it and open it.

There is a removal part where the blade is located for cleaning. Very messy clean up

Use a damp paper towel. To clean underneath the blades, double fold a damp paper towel and slide it under the blades. Holding the paper towel with both hands, slide it up, down, left and right along the bottom of the blade.

I just wipe it down with a wet paper towel occasionally. That seems to work pretty well :-)

Instructions: use the guard and don't get your fingers too close to the blade.

I use the brush provided and a dot of detergent in a circular motion to clean the blade and mesh. It usually is the most time consuming part. Everything else is easy with warm soapy water and a rag/sponge.

I use bleach and water with a scotch brute pad. I also use a camel back (hydration pack) cleaning system to get the handle area and corners. It works great.
