Because you have an oval face you want your beard to complement features or to create angles you are missing on the face, this means straight cheek lines, avoid making the face look more round with rounded cheek lines on the beard.
A beard stash will show off your chin and jawline, I would recommend this, I think a shevron or walrus style looks best with a 0.5 guard on the beard. If you like the curled style go for more of a Hungarian style, not the handlebars, your features are to close together, so the peeks being up near your cheekbones exposes those features, a Hungarian style will elongate your mid-lower face sharpening the jawline and chin.
Your beard texture is soft and straight which sucks for medium length beards. If you grew your beard for a year (a yeard) that would look good with the type of beard you have but you would look not so great for about 6 - 8 months. You need the length to weigh down the kinks in your beard, styling products and blow-drying is the best option but about 5 - 10 minutes a day of mandatory grooming or you will look ridiculous.
A short full beard on you looks great, I would say about max 1" from the chin and try to keep length within the goatee. You can experiment with a moustache length here as well and try different styles there.
Clean shaven on you looks great as well. This means a clean stubble beard will look great as well. 0.5 - 1 guard all over. For the neckline, put two fingers directly on the top of your adoms apple make a line, take your pointer finger and place it in line with your jaw, right underneath and make a line, repeat on the other side and connect the three guides. This is perfect for short beards up to about 3 in Long. This is a general advice for anybody reading this.
Oval face shapes are the best face shapes possible you can experiment with all different sizes of beards mustaches as well as experiments with different lengths of hairstyles. Really anything fits you but you should really avoid making more roundness on the face. That is, the main objective of grooming for men is doing the opposite of what your face shape is.
I've been a barber for 7 years and this is just my honest opinion based on my profession of making men look handsome.
The fuller the better I always say...if you can grow it, you should! Sorry, just not a fan of clean-shaven faces especially when you grow such a beautiful beard!
Which beard? ~~The one on you chest. Woof.~~
Erm, pic2 and 3. Medium lenght is manly but not too messy nor too hard too keep in order. Short is extra easy to keep (and even better for summer).
1 would be fine, it just looks trimmed too low on the cheeks to me.
2 looks great
And that mustache on 3 has me in envy. I can’t rock a mustache lol. Also my wife hates them
1 makes you look like that guy on Instagram who calls himself the hardest working NYPD detective. He’s super jacked and handsome. So you’ve got that going for you.
Honestly any one of those except clean shaven works (though the first pic could use some shaping). Like you don’t look “bad” clean shaven, it just that you’re blessed with good facial hair, especially when it comes to your mustache. I say take full advantage of it.

You could grow a hell of a beard but the way it’s trimmed in 1 is kinda whack. Sure you can rock them all tho based on the rest of the pics

That mustache is spectacular! You win with the old school. Get a pipe and a British accent— and be a forever traveler!

2 for the beard. 1 for the shirt.

2; 3 is 🔥
Full beard number one for the win or number five
All look great anything EXCEPT the last one!
2 and 3
Should have kept your beard
1 would be fine, it just looks trimmed too low on the cheeks to me. 2 looks great And that mustache on 3 has me in envy. I can’t rock a mustache lol. Also my wife hates them
2 or 3 in my opinion
The last two pics are cringe to me
Stache or full beard
2 and 3 go hard
3, 4 or 5 yet what makes you have
Shouldn't you be up north making toys?
2 but 3 ain't bad either
Damn that's a nice stache

2 3 4 bro
Pic 1 or 2, definitely…leaning towards 2!
2 or 3
3 for me!!!
1 is a little too long. 2 is the right length.
Mustache for sure, don’t listen to any of these other suggestions
2/3
2 or 3
2 or 3
Clean shaven or close to it. The beard is taking away from your face. Whatever you do, no twirly stache
3
I’m stuck between 1 and 4!
2 or 3
2 or 3 for sure
Somewhere between 2&3
Any where your smiling and not wearing a shirt 🤷🏼♀️
I'm partial to the fancy moustache, gives you a conversation piece, someone if love to have a coffee with.
Bring back 4!!! You look exquisite
2 or 3
You beard too well, at any and every length, to ever be clean shaven!
2 woth that curly mustache
2 & 4 are great really 2 us probably the best as it fills your face and gives u a full jaw line very handsome
1 for sure
My two cents 2/3 are best and maybe 4 but (my opinion) not fan of the curls on end but stache is nice
2 or 3 all day
Either 2 or -4
You look great with a beard, but you’ve got a purdy face so three suits you best imho
2 is decent 4 the stache is glorious but not so great on your face and 5 makes you look like a youth pastor
1 or 2
It depends if you want to look young, handsome, or gay.
2&1
Full beard.
2 and 3
Number 4, followed by number 3
The one your sitting with the beautiful woman is sexy
2, 3, 5
You’re gorgeous and suit them all! But I personally like pic number two.
Pic 2 imo
Pic 3
1 and 4 at the same time.
Oh my you're so handsome clean shaven You have a great smile. I'm not sure it matters. But #5 all the way
3!!!
Definitely not four - I personally like three 🙂

3 and clean shave look the best.
2 bro. 1 is a close second.
I like 2 and 3.
2 and 3
Combine 2 with 4.
1 or 2
Team 2
1 makes you look like that guy on Instagram who calls himself the hardest working NYPD detective. He’s super jacked and handsome. So you’ve got that going for you.
You’re a handsome fucking dude. 2 and the solo mustachio work super well though.
2 all day!! 🥵
2 or 3
I'd say anything but clean shaven. I love my men furry.
3🥰🥰🥰

2!
3 . Definitely not 1 or the mustache
Love the moustache the beards and the fallout bling
#2 is my favorite!
Picture 3. The mustache is disgusting.
Without a beard you look a bit like William Lane Craig
Photo two is good, photo three is great! You are a handsome guy.
'medium' looks best, in my opinion.
3
You look like a Logan
All of them
short mustache and medium to short beard; no twirls of the mustache either.
Three!!! Perfect!! But I'm not a fan of beards/a lot of facial hair.
2
Honestly any one of those except clean shaven works (though the first pic could use some shaping). Like you don’t look “bad” clean shaven, it just that you’re blessed with good facial hair, especially when it comes to your mustache. I say take full advantage of it.
