Drying Negatives

I am back into the darkroom after many years away. I don't like my negative drying process. After soaking my negatives in Photoflo for about 1 minute I then attempt to remove the excess water from the negatives. I have used my fingers, a sponge and a squeegee and I don't really like any of them. My fingers, after dipped into Photoflo never seem to be straight or even enough to remove the water. The sponge seems to leave water on the negatives. Although the squeegee does the most effective job of removing the water I am afraid of scratching the negatives. I hang the negatives vertically to dry. This is the only area giving me problems. Your help is appreciated.
