Question

Is it permissible to shave the mustache with a razor?

Answer

From the part that is definitely a mustache (and not sideburns according to any opinion), it is permitted. However, in practice, it is not possible to shave the mustache with a razor because the sides of the mustache have opinions that they are sideburns.
