Hi, Oliver. It's fine to soak reeds in your mouth. Many oboists do it that way. I keep water handy only while making reeds, because I usually work on several at once, and I'd rather not hold one in my mouth while scraping another. But I never carry a container of water away from home. Some oboists have elaborate reed-soaking rituals, just as some athletes have pre-game good-luck rituals. To each their own, but there's nothing incorrect, unusual, or harmful about soaking reeds in your mouth. After five minutes of playing, they'll be soaked in your saliva anyway.
Cheers,
Drew
