The mustache may be shaved with a blade, and that is the בג לעש רעישה אוהו רעתב וחלגל רתומ הפשה
hair above the upper lip. Likewise, the hair that hangs from הפשה ןמ לדלודמה רעישה ןכו הנוילעה הפשה
the bottom lip [may be shaved with a blade]. But although וגהנ אל רתומ אוהש יפ לע ףאו ,הנותחתה
this is permitted, the custom of the Jewish people is not בכעי אלש דע ותצק חלגי אלא ותיחשהל לארשי
to destroy it, but rather to shave it a little just so as not to .הייתשו הליכא
hinder eating and drinking.

Nevertheless, if one uses a razor or blade to remove hair of the mustache that interferes with eating, one
must be careful not to shave near the edge of the lip, as according to Rabbeinu Chananel, this is part of the
pe’ot of the beard.

a Taz, Yoreh Deah 181:3 ג:אפק ד״וי | ז”ט . 20
Any part of his beard – This also includes the upper lip, תעדלש הנוילעה הפשה םג הז ללכב – ונקז לכ לע
as according to Rabbeinu Chananel brought in the Tur, the .תואפהמ םה הפשה ילובג ינש רוטב ח”ר
two edges of the lip are part of the pe’ot.
