staedtler-0-05mm-pigment-liner-pens

Staedtler 0.05mm Pigment Liner Pens »

($12 for a pack of five)

Similarly, everyone needs a bunch of good pens laying around for when the need arises.

Staedtler’s 0.05mm “Pigment Liner” pens are just the ticket, with their long, needle-like tips that create crisp and precise lines (without bleedthough), which dry almost instantly and are then waterproof.

Ideal for writing in pocket notebooks or doing clean detail work while sketching.

JW Shears Professional Hair-Cutting Scissors »

($22)

For those in need of a trim who aren’t yet comfortable stepping back into a salon or barbershop (mask or no), using a pair of professional hair-cutting shears at home is way better than, say, grabbing any old scissors out of a drawer and cutting away.

They’re wicked sharp and will help you get much better results instead of making things worse.
