To scrape an American Windows reed you need a narrow shape. Even RDG-1n I found insufficient. I suggest a mac+ shaper tip and a mac++ shapeform ... they both give approximately the same finish dimensions.

The only caveat ... is that you need to use a staple shape/length suitable for your Oboe. I play a Maiguax 901 and use 46 mm chariugi 2+.

This combination enables more pitch stability (not flat) in the upper registers and a flexible/easier blowing reed.
