It’s a solid choice. A lot of pro type razor Honers pay the money for ballistol or other name brand honing solutions.
My oil/alcohol blend is because I spend way more time like @Chandu honing chisels and plane irons than I spend on razors so I want to use tool, hone tool, toss in tool box- and never stop to think about rust prevention. I have a separate leather “strop”(chunk of leather) there that I don’t care about getting oil all over, so far so good there actually.
I also should mention just in case anyone tries them that REAL traditional Japanese Camellia oil can go rancid though I’ve used it and never experienced it, and Dr Bronners will thicken to a film if you leave it to dry on a stone. Both are still really easy to clean up though.
