    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 376/376/M=1434) Regarding shaving the moustache with blade or razor both types of sayings i.e. bida’h and sunnah are available. حلق الشارب بدعة وقيل سنة (در مختار) It is better and mustahab to trim it closely with scissors instead of shaving: والقص منه حتى يوازى الحرف الأعلى من الشفة العليا سنة بالإجماع (شامى)

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
