    Looks like you also have rust in the middle of the edge. It will eventually chip. I guess you can wait for it's first honing but it may be soon.
    Metal polish may help with the stains but may also dull your edge.
    New razors can sometimes be stropped sharp but mostly the bevels are not as well set as possible which means thy can dull quicker.
    Not clear from your post but sounds like your razor rusted immediately after running under water. That is unusual but not impossible. I would suggest wiping the blade rather than rinsing to be sure but also thoroughly drying & wiping after use even between the scales. Oil the razor post use too.
