I tried it too, and liked it. I have really thick and poofy hair, and the Axe De-Poof shampoo kept it from poofing up and tangling.
I keep my hair at a medium length, in something of a pompadour, and usually when getting a haircut, any clippers they use have trouble cutting through and start chattering. My old barber always asked if I had anything in my hair when he heard his machine jamming, but I've always washed it out as well as I can before haircuts to avoid that. Anyway, I got a haircut the other day after using this shampoo for about a week, and for the first time I didn't have that problem.
I didn't notice it really leaving any residue or buildup or anything, but I always put other stuff in my hair afterwards anyway.
