I did it tonight. Started with the philtrum. Blade angled(guillotine stroke like Ed said). Short strokes with two hands, etc. Then did the whole stache that way. Threw a bit more lather on and did a second pass with one hand while stretching. Not the philtrum, just the sides. It actually came out quite smooth. Some irritation as you would imagine. Not terrible. Didn't cut my nose off. I don't think I'll add it to the daily shave though.
If its important to you give it a try. Just go slow and don't force anything. You'll be fine.

OK so I might have added it to my daily shave. Feels nice having a smooth upper lip.
