  Slightly different fats used in its construction. Velvet is just as good and much cheaper imo. Velvet is lard based, Sard uses the lighter fraction hydrocarbons left over after petrol production. As does Pears soap. Generic brands usually use either lard or palm oil - you pays your money and takes your pick.

  Does Howard’s storage world still exist? I have old vac seal bags from there that are still sealed 10 years later. Cheaper newer ones barely last a week.

      I got the current ones from either Big W or Kmart, maybe a few Ikea in there… I’ll look at the more expensive ones

  If you want something specific for stains, I find the Exit Soap sticks work better than sard. Can’t comment on regular wash usage though, for that I rotate between whatever’s on special.
