This is exactly what I would suggest. ( P.S. I love the artwork!)

thanks, i realise that my talents are wasted

I come down from half way up the nasal columella just to get a start on the angle and use the scoop motion. I then shave from the top down towards the jawline catching the heel on the philtrul column on the ridge. I then stretch the nostril and shave the little bit left there and bazinga, done.

Slowly and carefully (I think) are the first two rules for shaving under the nose. I started with SR when I still had a goatee for the winter. I got to cheat by "practicing" on the large flat areas and learning how my razor acts. After a few months, and warmer weather, I shaved my full face. Still had to be careful.

There is lots of good suggestions here. It just becomes trial and (hopefully not much) error to find what will work best for you.

I would hold the opinion the "pulling" your nose to one side or the other, out of the way, is a good idea for most any method.
