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

I think that could work

I think either my 4" scraper (razor sharp one) or a knackered wood
chisel could be the ticket.

If thats like the one I have from B&Q with a 4" blade slightly angled
to a metal rubberised handle, like the shaft of a hammer, I used it
successfully to shave off a few mm of surplus plaster that was in the
way of my skirting boards. It gives surprisingly fine control for
such a vicious looking blade.

Like this?

Brilliant bit of kit, as long as you change the blade every now & then.
Fantastic for removing old silicone as well.
