    Well It doesn't have to be mirror like, but I would like to remove the oxidation and get it ready to shave with.

    As Doc said it is hard to tell from the photos but if that was mine I would try Q-Tip and a paper towel with Semichrome, Maas or Flitz and call it good enough. Hone it up and than shave with it.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Where do I find that stuff? I have no clue about that stuff except for the Q tips?

    Be careful, these steel polishing pastes ruin the etching as well.
    The razor doesn't look too bad btw. I'd take it slow and just hone it.

    +1 and I'd just clean it with some scrubbing bubbles foaming bathroom cleaner, rinse, wipe down, have it honed and go with it. I have one that's etched and the bubbles worked well for the surface oxidation and general crud.
