A moustache can have relatively parallel upper and lower boundaries, or become wider towards its ends. The relationship affects whether it appears like a narrow band or a broader tapered shape. Shaving around it should preserve the geometry you intend.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask your barber to compare the central section with the endpoints before refining the edges. You may want a consistent visual width while keeping the natural upper boundary, which requires a clear discussion of the lower line. For a hot towel shave in Sydney CBD, describing the relationship between both edges is more specific than asking for the moustache to be thinner without identifying which part should change.
