: I first get the bevel of the tool flat on the strop and lift very slightly.
: Once done, turn the tool over to the back (for single edge tools like a
: chisel, plane) and keeping the back FLAT on the stone, perform a few
: strokes to remove any microscopic "wire-edge".

Sorry, that should have read "keeping the back FLAT on the *strop*"....
Once you have flattened and polished the back of your chisels and plane irons you should only "back them off" on a polishing stone or strop. Anything else would ruin the polished, flat surface that you have achieved.
