Welcome to B&B!

There are a few members in the UK that can probably help you. I would suggest contacting them and post the link of this thread to have their opinion.

You probably could clean the blade with a metal polisher. I would leave it to a master if it's your first time. Be careful not to cut yourself.

thanks i have a few straight some de and shavette but this is my first Japanese razor

Based on the first photo, some light buffing is all you need. Anyone who does restorations should be able to take care of it.

It's small but the last photo shows a razor that has been over-honed. I hope you didn't pay a lot.
