Quicker and neater to level 70mm of plaster I would have thought.
Doesn't really matter if the architrave is 5mm below the level of the
wall in places. Gripfil will fill any gaps if the plaster doesn't come
away cleanly.

A lateral idea - If I am confident I won't break my nice new plastering,
this could be an option.

Score the plaster with a Stanley knife and gently shave it off. Precious
stuff your nice new plaster :-)
It will be a *lot* easier than trying to scribe architrave. The thought
makes me wince

Incidentally, laminate trimmers are quite useful for the sort of thing
you're (mistakenly in my view) contemplating. Lightweight mini-routers
in effect, and you can use them one handed at a push.

I must google this - thanks.

Cheers
