Yeah, removing burr whilst preserving tooth is the real trick. I've had very good results using a well worn extra fine Scotch-Brite belt. For whatever reason, Scotch-Brite belts seem to be able to grab onto the LOW and lift it from the edge so that it can be removed without smoothing the edge.
It takes a bit of practice as Scotch-Brite can chew up the edge if you are not careful, but with some practice it is very effective.
In some other post I demonstrated with images how LOW is metal piled up against the bevel. I took an Exacto blade, slid it up the side of the blade, down the bevel, and pushed it up against the bottom of the LOW. The tip of the blade pushed the LOW off the bevel and stood it up. After that it was easily removed. The trick is to pry it off the edge without removing tooth. I can't find my first post, but this covers it:

"Anyway, this toothy edge was very impressive. It cut more easily than polished sharper edge." I have to agree with you there! The edge you show is very sharp and toothy, and personally, I wouldn't worry about the small amount of LOW still remaining. Others may feel differently, but in my experience nothing beats a sharp toothy edge. It seems like you have found a method that works well for you. Good job!
