So I just recently bought my first true straight razor from an SRP member. Before this razor, I have only used a Feather No Sharpen. The new-to-me razor is vey sharp and works great but alas I think I've messed it up.

I didn't dry it off completely last night and now I see some rust spots and pitting. Do I need to hone to get rid of that? It hasn't affected the sharpness or shave quality but it just looks terrible. I guess the disposable part of the Feather trained me not to carefully dry my razor.

How to properly fix this? Sorry if I am posting in the wrong section but this seemed the most likely forum.
