So I recently got a safety razor and it's working well except for one thing: shaving my mustache. No matter what I do it feels like I'm scraping against sandpaper. That being said I don't seem to be cutting myself, it's just time consuming/unpleasant.
Any tips?

I have the same problem as you though. What I do is use an electric on my mustache and the razor on the rest. Works well for me!

Make sure to apply foam throughoutly in the beard.
Try to adjust the gap of the safety razor around the razor blade.
Try adjusting the angle between the razor and the skin.
Potentially, try another brand of razors. I like feather razors.
I had a bit of a struggle to adjust to my first safety razor (similar to what you state), but when you get it right it is a very smooth shave.
I shave once or twice per week, and can never get more than one comfortable shave per razor.

A good thread, might be helpful to Magus` in addition to this one.

This explains why I couldn't find it
And a tip with the oil, I like to heat the entire bottle by running hot water on it.
