I seem to have read about washers on this forum perhaps but can't locate the post now.
I have a few razors where I can see marks on the base plate due to tightening of the handle.
Where are such washers available? Any help with dimensions etc is welcome too. I am not able to find it locally here.
Thanks in advance.

I just put a drop of sewing machine oil on the post of the top cap with a q-tip and only use rubber O-rings on the handle for slip resistance (if necessary).....any non smelling oil will work by the way...

I just landed some typical white nylon M5 washers like lloydrm mentioned above from an ebay seller - alab.design - they have different lot sizes.
I have no affiliation with them other than buying the washers. They seem to be a distributor for small electronic components - solenoids, bearings, fans, that kind of stuff and is a US seller.
Ah, I see you are in India. These guys ship to a lot of countries, but I don't see India listed. Is that common? Maybe try an electronics or hobby shop?
Above The Tie also carries a nice looking 10 pack called '3 piece razor saver'. I won't link to it, I'm not sure if they're affiliated with TSN or not, but its easy to find on their site.

I use these on all my stainless DE's. I also use them on Hart Steel straight razors. The Hart Steel uses a hex screw assembly instead of a pin. These razors have a thin nylon washer, which is not durable, on each side of the hex screw assembly. The washers sit between the tang and the scales. The M5 10mm x 1mm washers are the same diameter but slightly thicker, and make a good replacement for the original Hart Steel washers.
Here is the washer on a Timeless.
