The attached photo shows a backsplat I've been working on. The pile of shavings were made with the card scraper. It was hels at about 75-80 degrees from the surface with no thumb pressure to speak of.
It took 5 0r 10 minutes working on the concave and twisted side to make the pile.

It's not to be used instead of a plane, but sometimes a plane can't do the job.
