Solution:
B F2 R' U R' U' L' U
R L2 [slice] U2 R' D2 R' F2 B2 [unslice] L B2 L' F2 D2 F2 U2
F D B' L'

slice = R' L x (2-3)
unslice = R L' x' (2-2)

Non DR solve ! I'm getting better at blocks

Found this in a second attempt where I focused on DR:

R' D L F U' // EO + sq
L // sq
B' R // CO (gc)
D2 & F D2 F2 B // 2e4e (13)


& : R2 U2 # L2 B' U2 R2 D2 F' (8-4)
# : L U2 B2 U2 B2 U2 B2 L' (8-1)(24)

The CO was good but I couldn't get a short DR with it so I just solved the corners. Insertions are optimal, and give me a better solutions than my DRs

(D2 F U D) //EO (4/27)
(L B) // DR-4c2e (6/27)
B U2 F' R //DR (10/27)
F R2 F' B' L2 B // HTR (16/27)
R2 D2 F2 R2 * B2 R2 // 2e4e (22/27)
* = R2 F2 D2 F2 R2 % U2 B2 U2 //8-6=2 3e(24/27)
% = R2 D' U F2 D U' // 6-3=3 SOLVED (27/27)

Was kinda low on time after finding the 16 move HTR so not sure how good stuff after that is...

(L B' R F B' D' B [2]) // EO GB (7/7)
(L' [1] U' L2) // 222 (3/10)
(B2 R' U2) // 3C3C1T

[1] = L2 F' R F L' F' R' [3] F (8-1)
[2] = B' D F2 D' B D F2 D' (8-5)
[3] = R B2 R' F2 R B2 R' F2 (8-3)
