This really varies by reed maker, cane density... I've had colleagues scrape things dry that make me cringe... I always rough scrape right away after tying, so my cane is well soaked. I use an old knife while removing bark as well. For detailed scraping never more than how I would soak it to play. I watch so many students toss their reeds in a soaker cup with the tip on the bottom. Dip the reed and lay it flat allowing the water to absorb. We work so hard to make the perfect tip, it should be treated respectfully. Happy reed making!
