Can I use wet-or-dry fine paper instead of a stone for honing chisels?

The DMT stones are incredibly expensive, so I thought, why not use a sheet of, say, 600 grit wet-or-dry - with soap and water - on a plate glass sheet?

Or why not use grinding paste on a plate glass sheet? Or a bit of Vim/Cream cleaner/Tcut etc?

Whew! The things one doesn't know!

Cheers.
