It's probably just a bit of water staining, try using a pencil eraser on it - if that doesn't work, you can resort to using a mild steel polish like MAAS (search SRP to find other uses for MAAS).
As for keeping it clean after use, I use something called Cool Care Plus - it's made for clippers but can be used on straight razors and is available at beauty supply stores.
Oh yeah. Welcome to SRP!

Welcome to SRP.
Some steels stain more easily than others. If it's an issue a light oiling after use
might be worth the trouble.
