You can use the diamond plate for correction, but I would not recommend a full bevel set on a Diamond Plate for a new honer. A good 1K synthetic is not that expensive. A King is under $30 and the Norton 4k will easily reset a bevel. Both will give better results than a diamond plate.
One final question: Can/should I use the DMT to create a slurry when I want to hone my razor? If so, then I'll be saving myself a few $. I saw a great tutorial on youtube where the guy was using a 6K Nagura pocket stone to create a slurry. He was using a Norton 4k/8k, just like I will be. He said he did this with no ill-effects.

So, could I achieve the same result with the DMT by CKTG? Thanks!~

here is the video for reference:
