Around here with near zero humidity, dipping a reed and then laying it flat will result in a completely dry reed!! So I soak mine, gently tip down (sorry) for at least five minutes before I play, and sometimes must switch reeds after a long rest because the thing had dried out. If you live in normal humidity that may sound insane.
My teacher when doing the fine scraping on the tip will flatten it totally to the plaque with his thumb, and it must be quite flexible to do that safely.
