    A 4/8 would be easier to start with, but with experience it doesn't matter. I don't have a particularly large upper lip and I find the coup d'maitre just as easy to accomplish with a 4/8 as it is with an 8/8. It's practice, that's all.

    Ithin konce you see it done and gingerly do the move under the nose a few times, you will find that it is a good easy stroke to use and it does a great job.

    I am able to remove the whiskers all the way to the lower nostril by using the technique mentioned.

    One thing I do that is not mentioned yet is to tense the lip and slightly open the mouth, kind of a scowl with mouth opened to stretch the upper lip down and away from the nose. it will allow you to have tight skin and will help to get the nose out of the way.
