Facial Hair in Anime vs. Real Life: What's Your Take?

I’ve noticed that in anime, facial hair often gives characters a rugged or wise vibe think Jiraiya from Naruto or Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist. It adds so much personality and style to their designs. But in real life, I’m not always sure how it translates. Do you think facial hair works better in animation, or do you appreciate it just as much off-screen? I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences with this!
