Question on cleaning

Finally got in my newest addition to the collection, a Joseph Allen and sons NON-XLL. Now I'd like to clean it up, my question is, should I clean the patina or just leave it as is? This is the original post from when I got it. Any tips are appreciated.

joshb1000,

I think you should just leave it pretty much as is. You may want to wipe it down with a little MAAS or Simichrome to remove any rust, but don't overdo it.

After all, its not how it looks that is important, but how it shaves.
