One might actually draw the opposite conclusion. Based on what Glen said, there is a chance that the splashing of alcohol onto a razor caused rusting. A similar scenario would be wiping a razor down with alcohol and leaving some behind. So the setup supports the idea that wiping a razor down with simple rubbing alcohol could do harm.

Also, I can understand if some people may not like the notion of "doing science," but let's remember that "science" is nothing more than the collective attempts of humans to understand and describe the world around them. As such, this thread is inherently a drive towards science.
