On a good time I’d say 4 : 7 : 3 is the ratio, give or take a little on the edge pairing.
Do you use lube? I’m kind of wanting to get some, and I’m wondering what a good lube would be.

I use a mix of Maru, weight 1 and traxxas 50k

I don’t really want to buy three lubes… so are all of those good by themselves?
Btw, 1:13.50 4x4x4.

I’d say go with traxxas and Maru.

Maru will make your cube faster. Traxxas smoother. I’d get traxxas if only one

Yeah!!! So close to sub 20! Keep it up!
Got a 7.8x solve on cam. Not sure if I’ll upload it or not. It was a winter variation pll skip. Messed up the winter variation a bit. Could have been sub 7 on cam.
It is definitely a more impressive solve than my 7.26, my turning is getting faster and more fluid lately.

15.46. Really cheap scramble though. One move cross. Had an f2l pair all made when I finished the cross and a one move pair up after insertion on the first one. So it took me just over 5 seconds to do the cross and half of f2l.
Used it to get a 20.05 ao5. I got over 26 on the fourth solve. I really blew it there.

No… stinky site. 14.89. No cheap scramble that time. I can’t believe I just broke my record twice, and by a good margin too.
