Pauly,

I would be inclined to leave it; the patina is part of the razors history.

I had an old patina'ed French blade that I was detrmined was going to 'sparkle' - Afrewards, considering the great effort it took, I kind of felt it looked better when it had the patina !!

I suppose it is down to persobal aesthetics

Good luck !

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ
