I don't mess with reeds as much as I used to (and should). I won't start doing anything to a reed (Vandoren) that has no real promise.
I haven't used sand paper in years. I use my tiny knife and put the (wet) reed flat side down on my plexiglass. I shave a little of the tip, evenly spread out. Then some off the sides, for about 3/4 inch down from the tip.
Is that the best way? Who knows. I try variations if that's not enough, then through it away and find one I really don't have to touch with the knife.
