Either the controls were very poor or you're a very messy inattentive
cook.

I've never needed a razorblade on mine. If anything spills over I
wipe it off fast with wet paper towel before it burns on. If there's any
residue, when it's cold I use cream cleaner; but that's rarely needed.
At the end of every meal, as I clean up the kitchen I wipe over all
work surfaces including the glass stovetop with a soapy wet cloth. That
way nothing ever builds up to get baked on next time.
