After this older post https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/a-rubik-toilet.87523/ I tried to do one better this year, and here is the result! And yes, it's a public toilet in Parco Bollino, Courmayeur, Italy. And no, I didn't cube inside :p

Incredible and huge! Congratulations!

I live in Italy and I almost exclusively buy from Ziicube. They pay VAT in advance for me, so shipping is not stopped by the customs, and is fairly fast, ten days give or take one or two. Prices are really good.

Wow! That's amazing. Congratulations!

I have the 12 and 13 as well as the older XS. I must say I prefer the 13, but they are all good cubes. Too good for their differences to be significant for my poor times, at least.

I don't use any of the above lubes; my personal limited experience is as follows: Weight 30 differential oil works fine, slows the cube a bit, makes it more controllable (few drops), but I don't really love the feeling Angstrom setup plus DNM-37 makes the cube very controllable and at a speed...

Welcome! I also cube on and off, depending on other things I do, so don't feel bad about that. To each his or her own!

Not sure there is a general "best", I think everyone has to find his or her own. My settings are 2/6 distance, 4/6 compression, 6/6 corner magnets. So you could say I don't mind if it's a little slower but would rather have a tight cube with more precision. I am slow as molasses anyway so... :D

The list should really be updated a bit, especially the 3x3 part.

Takes two weeks to Europe with the cheapest shipping. Also, customs are taken care of by them. Very good experience so far as far as I am concerned. Won't get the V3 though.

Have you tried an Angstrom setup? I gave it to my 12 and it really changed how it feels.

Tymon solving with the GAN13:

Should be the 17th from announcements I have seen. So, tomorrow we'll see.

I think the Tornado V3 comes out today or tomorrow, BTW. In a few days you should see reviews.

I have the magnetic Little Magic 2x2 and Pyraminx, and they work fine. So fine I also got the 4x4 (currently inbound). I can't really tell you how optimal they are for speedcubing though, because I just got them for collecting and showing my son the various types of puzzles, but I am only...
