Progress - clean it inside?

[Galhatz]

It has a big hollow handle where water can collect ... do you ever take it apart or do something to clean it in the inside?
Currently I let it air dry by the window with the head off on the days where I feel I got the most out of the blade.

Ummmm. No? I've never completely disassembled a progress completely. Never thougt about that actually.

No, I usually remove the knob, and top cap and rinse hot water through the handle.

I do some times with a Q-Tip dipped in witch hazel. Every once in a while you'll clean out some "gunk" or hair that gets in there over time.

to remove the knob... just pull it out?

That's all you have to do, the brass retaining collar is what holds the knob from coming out. When reinserting the knob you will have press on the brass collar which is kinda springy.

If you are worried about water collecting inside the handlekeep a lidded jar of alcohol that is tall enough to submerge your razor in then give it a "dunk".

The alcohol will displace any water then evaporate, leaving the razor clean and dry.

I'm not recommending this....... just stating the obvious

I just keep mine disassembled over night and it drys just fine
