All seven of my razors are just plain ole steel. I've been careful about drying them off post shave as best as I can, but the tang area (especially around the pin) is just too hard to get dry.

So I'm thinking...If I put a tall decanter full of 91% isopropyl alchohol on the sink, and dipped my razor in it all the way up to the monkey tail after shaving, would this be an effective way to displace the water and prevent rust? Would it damage the old bakelite or celluloid scales?

I'd sure hate to be responsible for rusting out these 100+ year old gems I'm using to hack hair off my face.
