I have to echo what others have said , it depends. Most times I will also go to an Escher with 5 to 10 and see where I'm at after a good stropping. I recently drank the kool aid and acquired a Nakayama and have done exactly what you described Kees. Escher first followed by the Nakayama.
One friend who has a lot of experience recommends doing it the other way round with the j-nat first followed by the Escher. I've got to try that. Sometimes I go to a vintage barber hone .... is there any other kind ?A Swaty or an iteapeech are favorites if using one of those. If I get satisfactory results from any of the above I will probably leave well enough alone.
If not I will redo the honing from 1k on up and sometimes I do that one way or the other. I've not had the Nakayama Asagi for very long but so far I'm impressed with it.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
