NO! The Isopropyl alcohol sold in drugstores contains water and can cause corrosion. You are far better off to spend the little extra money to buy denatured alcohol, which cuts through grime, grease and oil to completely clean your blade and it evaporates completely, leaving no residue. Make sure to use a clean, dry cloth to do the cleaning. Instead of using oil on the blade after cleaning, consider a clear, hard past wax like Butcher's bowling alley wax or Renaissance micro-crystalline wax.
