If it works for you, great... I certainly cannot argue against results!
But "wetting" in mouth is usually done by sax/clarinet players who take up the oboe as a double. In fact, most sax and clarinet players I met (from sea to sea) begin to soak their reeds in a glass of water too when they reach a certain level (Bachelors in performance).

A few oboists I knew swore that soaking in cognac worked much better than water... I have not actually tried that... perhaps it was their perception post injestion? [grin]
