The invention provides a razor having a retaining mechanism assembly adapted to receive more than one blade with one of the blades being capable of lateral movement beyond the confines of the retaining mechanism assembly into a straight razor configuration. The retaining mechanism assembly has components for retaining and aligning the blades both within and beyond its confines. The retaining mechanism assembly has a pivotally attached handle to allow ergonomic adjustments to the shaving angle.

The invention is a method for obtaining a chimeric plasmid which can serve as a vector for inserting one or more foreign or native genes into Corynebacterium and a second species of bacteria. The plasmid is the ligation product of plasmid DNA from Corynebacterium as well as plasmid DNA from a non-Corynebacterium species of bacteria. Also disclosed is a method for forming protoplasts from Corynebacterium organisms and transforming the protoplasts with vectors, e.g., the chimeric plasmids of the invention.
