For {{Pirate}} [[TheCaptain Captains]], a prominent beard is so obligatory that you have a high probability of [[CaptainColorbeard being named after it]]. RealLife [[TropeMaker gave us]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbeard Blackbeard]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oru%C3%A7_Reis Redbeard]], and fiction has responded with [[{{Blackadder}} Redbeard Rum]] (see left), [[OnePiece Whitebeard]], Film/{{Yellowbeard}}, [[{{Futurama}} Purplebeard]]... everything but Literature/{{Bluebeard}}, which was already taken by a non-pirate.

** Many US submarines allow the beards while underway. Traditionally, a sailor buys a $5 No Shave Chit, which goes into the ship's recreation fund. However, as soon as the ship pulls into port or if there are riders aboard, then they're immediately required to shave.

* Due to the franchise's roots as an intended parody of the SF anime cliches of the 70s, most {{Macross}} series traditionally have the captains of their respective {{Cool Ship}}s to wear the traditional bushy beards. [[SuperDimensionFortressMacross Bruno Global]] and [[MacrossFrontier Jeffrey Wilder]] being the most prominent examples.
** [[{{Macross 7}} Max]] [[TheAce Jenius]], though, is an aversion -- he's clean-shaven and [[BlingOfWar impeccably]] [[ManInWhite clad in white]], and wears a CoolShades just to show off what [[TheAce an Ace]] he is. He even looks like a total {{Bishonen}} [[HotDad at 52]].
*** Kawamori reportedly [[WordOfGod outright stated]] that Max stopped aging due to his sheer awesomeness.[[hottip:*:This statement, however, is better to be taken with a grain of salt, as it's turned out recently that a lot of similar trivia Words Of God were fabricated by an influential fan.]]
* OnePiece ''runs'' on this trope.

Men of the maritime or naval business, especially the more experienced ones, will usually grow beards. It's more an issue of practicality- shaving requires fresh water, and you have to conserve this on a ship. But in any case it is one way to tell that a character is a real FatherNeptune.

*** It's fairly common for commanders of special forces units to turn a blind eye to shaving regulations. It's almost an unspoken rule that they've "earned the right" due to the particularly grueling and dangerous work they do.

** Beards were a bit of a naval tradition in the Royal Navy, and in the US Navy (since the latter was pretty much based on the former). During Zumwalt's term as the American Chief of Naval Operations, beards were re-authorized for American Navy personnel, though they've been banned since. This rule does not appear to stop [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Murphy certain SEALs]].
