Only grain alcohol will hold almost its own mol weight in water and starting with, effectively, no moisture at all in the mix means that the razor dipped into will be dry and have a rally thin coat of oil applied.
A friend did this for years. He then experienced a problem with another type of alcohol. I only use the mix during really humid conditions and when a razor is going to be out of the rotation for a while.
YMMV
