Microfastiners. They are size 0 nylon washers. I have been playing around with stainless/brass/nylon. The stainless will never rust, but is harder than the carbon steel, so it will wear the blade over the years. Admittedly, it will take more years of use than you will probably use the razor. Brass is slicker but I don’t like the feel as much. The nylon has a smoother feel to it. I will use a brass or stainless washer on the wood side, then nylon next to the blade. The nylon washers are much thinner than the metal so when I need the extra spacing I will back the metal with the nylon. I just like the feel of the action with the nylon bearing the load of the blade movement. They will also not ware the blade or ever tarnish.
