Hi,
Here how to do it:

50% alcohol
1ml of glycerin (that's what they use to lubricate the pump mechanism and the shaver, ask at your drug store)
and citron smell (I don't put any)

That's it!

Is there a trick or procedure for cleaning out the cartridge first?

Why not use rubbing alcohol for the basis of the recipe?
What is your reason for saying that?

make sure you use denatured alcohol NOT rubbing alcohol

Buy a bottle of "EVERCLEAR" grain alcohol (this is 95% alcohol or 190 proof available at most liquor stores)

Small bottle of lemon extract (available at any grocery store)

Directions:

Rinse out and shake out the empty cartridge a few times until there is no residue left

Air dry , or if you are in a hurry, use a hair dryer to dry the inside.

Use a measuring cup and pour approx 150 to 160 ml of alcohol (2/3 cup) into the empty cartridge

Add 5 caps of lemon extract (using the small bottle)

You now have a near duplicate mixture of the Braun Synchro cleaner. Works Great!

or

Here are the ingredients:

* SLX denatured alcohol, 1 gallon, $10.20 at Home Depot.

* Singer sewing machine oil, 4 oz, $2.99 at fabric & craft stores. If you can't find it, you can try shredder oil from Staples, or other high-speed machine oil.

* McCormick pure lemon extract, $3.79 for 1 oz at grocery stores. This is optional. You'll need this if you want your razor to have that lemony fresh smell. Be sure to get extract, not lemon juice. Lemon extract is an oil made from the skins. You'll need two ounces to make 22 refills.

Directions:
Rinse the empty cartridge with water. I don't bother to completely clean it out. Just rinse it a few times, then let it dry.
Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract.
Add 1/2 teaspoon machine oil.
Fill the cartridge almost to the top with the alcohol.

You should have enough to make 22 refills.

We have been saving the old cartridges and refilling them with plain old alcohol. My husband is equally satisfied with the result and I have not purchaed refills in almost 2 years
