What’s your best solve on beginners method?

I got an 18.xx with beginners method once. I could improve it but I don't want to and it also makes regular 3x3 harder as I'm color neutral however it becomes harder to solve on other cross colors after a long session of beginners method. (Because you're forced to start on white cross) However I find the second layer so satisfying as lookahead is very easy as you only have to look for half the pieces.
 
PB is 10.01 (LL skip), global average around 22. Most solves are somewhere between 17 and 25 or so. Have had a handful of 13s.
 
I switched to F2L when I was around 1 Min and never practised full beginner with daisy before cross and corner flip oll.
 
The problem with this metric is a newbie using beginner's method would solve the cross, then each of the bottom corners one by one. An expert using beginner's method would block build the entire first layer in just a few moves and call it an XXXXcross. Not really the same method.
