U’ D2 R' // EO (3)
(U' B D F R2 B') // (9) Cool 4c6e RZP shift :D 4c3 :/
D' (F2 D' L2 B2 U) // HTR (15)
(R' L B2 R L U2 B2 U2)// Finish (23)

I'm like 60% sure that is the same finish I did officially. I know the DR is right and the HTR is something like that, but I can't find the paper. Also there is a 22 if you do the HTR the other way and I missed it :/

D' (F2 D' R2 F2 D')  // HTR (15)
F2 L2 F2 B2 U2 B2 R2 // fin (22)

I actually didn't realize that the EO was 4c6e I just saw that doing U' B on inverse made hella blocks and then immediately gave a 9 move DR. Walker solve the 4c6e on the inverse in 11 without shifting, and it gave a pretty nice 20:

U’ D2 R // EO (3)
(L2 U2 D L2 U F' R2 B) // 4a2 (11)
U2 L2 U (B2 F2 R2 U') // 18-1 HTR extention thing
(L2 D2 F2) // fin (20)

I also spent like 20 minutes checking dr-fe  after I found a couple good DRs lol

Just copying what Beebs typed up since I think our solutions just differed by slicing

R' U' F U L2 F' B U2 R' F B2 D2 R' U2 L' D2 L F2 B L2 D' F2 R' U' F

Results

D B' L2 B2 U' B2 L2 B2 L2 U2 R U2 R2 U L' D B' D' R'

D B (R D B) // EO (5)
(D' L U' R2 U2 R') // DR (5) I think I've been on the trainer enough to instantly see 6 more to DR
(U2 L2 B2 L2 B2 U B2 L2 B2) // Finish (20-1) saw it as 2 moves to the 5e alg

One of the stupidest solves I've ever done. I wrote those EOs as
D B R D
    B2 U' B
(With the inverse moves in purple of course )
When I almost always write it as 
D B R D B
    B2 U' 
So when I started checking EOs I thought that it was a 2+2 so it was one of the first things I did. I saw that I was dumb and it was a 2+3. I was already there and I immediately saw the DR, and the first variation I checked gave the easy finish.

There is also this absolutely disgusting 17 that Fanti found with some tool
% B' F2 R F 
L (D R' B2 R) // 4a1 
U' // htr in 10, direct 19
% = U2 // new htr(??)
F2 D2 B2 D2 L2 B2 // 17? unique opt

This is somehow my second ever 19, the other being Worlds 23 A3 lol
