The only way I see to "fix" the pitting it to remove it. Removing it requires removal of material and this must be done evenly and with extreme care. This kind of work will also be relatively costly.

My advice is to hone and use it as-is. It should still take a good edge, it's just ugly. If you want a nice looking razor, take the money you'd spend to restore this one and buy a new razor. Then, keep the new razor in an argon filled chamber and turn on the lights for 5 minutes a year to look at it. All things turn to dust eventually.
