Usually I go to escher from naniva 8k or 10k.
Perhaps my mistake was that I tried Ozuku starting with coarse Botan and ''killed'' the previous sharpenings. Now I will start the process again.

The stone you have may be just fine. You have to find out.
Once you decide it is a good finishing stone you can start introducing naguras.
You can start to use the botan right after bevel set, then the next, and the next etc.
As I have said they are for a progression - not for finishing.
For finishing either a tomo or just base stone slurry if the base stone is acceptable.
I have already mentioned how to do this, the rest is up to you.
