Is it permissible or makrooh tahrimi to shave one’s mustache with a blade or razor?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can I shave my mustache with blade or razor? Is it permissible or makrooh tahrimi?

Answer

(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)
