Stefan's M2 R2 blindfold method

[Erik]

Not realy, but it wouldn't be very efficient? Just my suspection about this, though I have to admit I have not tried this (yet) What is the speed you'd gain with M2 for the edges afterwards? Less moves for the M-slice, but not much for the rest...(maybe 1 per edge you solve)

Yes it doesn't save many moves, but the setups are all in LUR without cube rotations, making the transitions between the steps a bliss. Plus you don't have to clean up remaining flips at the end. Try a few of these scrambles:

Or these, with 11-cycles not including UB:

I just tried a few of these again and got times from 13.5 to 15.0 seconds.

Btw, my favourite pair is UR-BR (RU-RB if you shoot from FD), I looove the transition between them.
R' U R U' M2 U R' U' R U R' U' M2 U R U'
I just did that three times in a row in 6.2 seconds. If you subtract a little for starting stopping my stopwatch, that's one alg every second.

Why not just do z' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R z? lol...the rotation might make it slower...

Yeah, it is indeed pretty nice to solve them no x or x', very fluent and fast.
