A pin vise is like a hand held drill bit holder, The one we have is from Starrett. I have included a pic of a full set.

Nope, this is not a pin vice. I know what you are describing. It uses a chuck to hold the drill bit. CarrieM posted a picture of the pin vice for me. It uses a collets to hold the bit or other tools. Starrett sells a good set but they are a bit pricey. The set I have is a left over from my Tool and Die days. The model number is No, S 240 SET - Pin Vices. Here is a link to an Amazon listing of the different Starrett Pin Vices available: Amazon.com: starrett pin vise US Home Improvement
Other companies make pin vices but I can not comment on their quality“If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” (A. Einstein)

About those washers which are imbedded in the plastic of the scales...
I have seen the same phenomenon with some of the scales I was removing from razors I intended to restore.
But, the embedded washers were actually my own fault. While trying to drill out the pin, I had succeeded in heating up the metal to the point that the plastic of the scales surrounding the pins softened slightly so that the washers (under tension from the pin) could push their way into that same softened plastic. Perhaps the same thing happened for you.
The message here is: Drill and/or grind slowly when removing razor pins. Stop frequently to allow the metal of the pins to cool off (or dunk it in cool water).
Good luck!
