I’ve been lately working on speeding up my solving times for the first 2 layers, and also learning to solve it with the 2 layers on the bottom (with the final un-solved layer on top), which saves time since a) theoretically you can see the other cubes and do some look-ahead, though I’m not quite that good, and b) you don’t have to flip the cube over to solve the last layer, since it’s already on top.

Just set a new record, which I am posting here mostly because I don’t want to lose it should I want to have access to it at some other time / place

Keep in mind that these are times for the first 2 layers only, so for the whole cube, add a good 20-30 seconds on top of them (at least)
