That is a pretty nice razor I wouldn't remove the patina, I think it ads character.
Learn how to get it shave ready and then decide. I know from experience, it's easy to wipe the years away with polish, but you can't put it back.
If you decide to, then I suggest mothers mag metal polish. Inexpensive and can put a motor polish. Keep in mind that most manufacturers didn't mirror the blades to begin with, so under the patina there may be vertical striations or grind marks.
